Context
Upscaling investments in EE and RES for buildings is a major challenge to meet EU targets for 2030, and this is established in most of Regional Strategies of Growth and Jobs (G&J) all over Europe.
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) in 2020 and all new public buildings by 2018. Even so, the integration of RES for self-consumption in NZEB buildings remains a challenge for 1/3 of the Member States, which have not included it in their National Directives.
Moreover, the introduction of RES for self – consumption in buildings is not considered as cost optimal energy in every country. Regional authorities have a key role to play in identifying their cost optimal RES in order to mobilize local stakeholders and creating new policies to support the integration of RES in buildings.
Objectives
- Promote new policies orimprove existing policies to support the integration of renewable energy into buildings for self—consumption financed by the Structural Funds andother EC instruments.
- Design policies to promote only those renewable energies for self -consumption technologies with greater benefits in each region.
- Define clear KPI (Key Performance Indicators) to identify the best investment by value.
- Transmit how European policies have an impact on society.
- Support the integration of RES in buildings
