The cost-benefit analysis shall be covering their territory based on climate conditions, economic feasibility and technical suitability.
6.2.1.1 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2010/31/EU) The EPBD targets the high levels of energy consumed by buildings (40% of the EU’s total energy consumption). The Directive aims to limit the ever increasing demand created by buildings in order to reduce the EU’s energy dependence as well as Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. In this context, the Directive covered energy used for heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and heating water in buildings. Along with an Evaluation report and an Impact Assessment, the Clean Energy for all Europeans package includes a Proposal for a Directive amending Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings

Although there is evidence of approximately
48 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (Mtoe) energy being saved in 2014, when compared to the 2007 baseline of the EPDB, the proposal finds that around 75% of buildings in the EU are energy inefficient. For this reason, the European Commission intends to amend
