Energy Efficiency Directive 2018

The revised energy performance of buildings directive eu 2018 844 has today been published in the eu official journal l156 and will enter into force as of 9 july 2018.

Energy efficiency directive 2018.

Eu countries will have to transpose the new elements of the directive into national law within 20 months. Directive eu 2018 844 of the european parliament and of the council of 30 may 2018 amending directive 2010 31 eu on the energy performance of buildings and directive 2012 27 eu on energy efficiency text with eea relevance pe 4 2018 rev 1. Making buildings more energy efficient will contribute significantly to the eu achieving its energy and climate goals. Improving energy efficiency throughout the full energy chain including energy generation transmission distr.

Measures taken by member states pursuant to regulation eu 2018 842 of the european parliament and of the council 10 and which result in verifiable and measurable or estimable energy efficiency improvements can be considered to be a cost effective way for member states to fulfil their energy saving obligation under directive 2012 27 eu as amended by this directive. The revised renewable energy directive eu 2018 2001establishes a binding eu target of at least 32 for 2030 with a review for increasing this figure in 2023. Directive eu 2018 2002 of the european parliament and of the council of 11 december 2018 amending directive 2012 27 eu on energy efficiency. In this context it is necessary to update the union s legal framework for energy efficiency with a directive pursuing the overall objective of the energy efficiency target of saving 20 of the union s primary energy consumption by 2020 and of making further energy efficiency improvements after 2020.

Energy efficiency targets directive and rules. To ensure consistency with energy efficiency requirements for heating and cooling and reduce administrative burden. The 2012 directive as amended in 2018 sets rules and obligations for the eu s 2020 and 2030 energy efficiency targets.
