The Activity Report 2022 is out!
2022 was a very productive and busy year at EuroACE. Now, it is time to report on the activities that were undertaken on behalf of our 15 members.
On EU Policy, the revisions of many key buildings-related directives that arose from the Fit for 55 Package (adopted on 14th of July 2021), have been a central focus of our work. We have consistently promoted the message that the EU will not be able to achieve at least a 55% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 without an ambitious legislative framework for buildings.
The relevant proposals on which we have worked are:
- Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
- Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)
- Renewable Energy Efficiency Directive (RED)
- Emissions Trading System for Buildings and Road Transport (ETSII)
- Social Climate Fund (SCF)
We have supplemented the core policy work with work on financing, including the EU Taxonomy, Mortgage Portfolio Standards, the EU Renovation Loan, the Mortgage Credit Directive, and the EU Green Public Procurement.
With the publication of the REPowerEU Plan on 18th of May 2022, focussing on rapidly reducing dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forwarding the green transition, EuroACE and the Renovate Europe Campaign (REC) quickly reacted to highlight the urgency and importance of energy saving measures.
