EuroACE welcomes the joint ENVI-ITRE Report adopted this morning on the 2030 Climate and Energy Framework, which makes 3 specific requests to place Energy Efficiency in Buildings at the heart of the post-2020 Climate and Energy Debate. The Delvaux/ Szymanski Report will be endorsed in the full Plenary early February. It gives a timely postive signal to current discussions in Commission and Council.
1) Call for 3 binding targets (GHG, RES, EE) with Energy Efficiency as Cornerstone at 40%
2) Call for sectoral target for buildings
3) Call to reduce the energy demand of the EU building stock by 80% by 2050
