Review

The Commission, assisted by the Committee referred to in Article 30, shall review this Directive by the end of 2027 at the latest, in the light of the experience gained and progress made during its application, and, if necessary, make proposals.

As part of that review, the Commission shall:

(a) assess whether the application of this Directive in combination with other legislative instruments addressing energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, in particular through carbon pricing, deliver sufficient progress towards achieving a fully decarbonised, zero-emission building stock by 2050, or whether further binding measures at Union level, in particular mandatory minimum energy performance standards across the whole building stock, need to be introduced;

(b) assess the adequate legal instrument, level and timeline of reduction targets for the Union building stock life-cycle GWP, on the basis of the harmonised framework referred to in Article 1(2), point (da);

(c) determine how to take into account in all measures at Union level a holistic approach at all spatial scales, including landscape architecture, urban planning, infrastructure, and design, thus promoting a sustainable built environment.

The Commission shall ▌examine in what manner Member States have applied integrated district or neighbourhood approaches in Union building and energy efficiency policy, while ensuring that each building meets the minimum energy performance requirements, and including how such approaches can be used to meet Union standards by means of IRPs applying to a number of buildings in a spatial context instead of a single building.

Information

1. Member States shall prepare and carry out information and awareness-raising campaigns on an ongoing basis in order to promote public interest and support for the improvement of energy efficiency of buildings and the achievement of the objectives of this Directive. They shall take the necessary measures to inform the owners and tenants of buildings or building units and all relevant market actors, including local and regional authorities and energy communities, of the different methods and practices that serve to enhance energy performance, such as energy management services, energy performance contracting, and the one-stop shops established pursuant to Article 15a. In particular, Member States shall take the necessary measures to provide tailor-made information to vulnerable households. That information shall also be passed through local authorities and civil society organisations.

Member States shall inform the owners, tenants and facility managers of buildings of the different methods and practices that serve to enhance the energy and emission performance, fire, electrical, and seismic safety of a building.

2. Member States shall in particular provide information to the owners or tenants of buildings on energy performance certificates, including their purpose and objectives, on cost-optimal measures and, where appropriate, financial instruments, to improve the energy performance of the building, and on replacing fossil fuel boilers with more sustainable alternatives. Member States shall provide the information through accessible and transparent advisory tools such as renovation advice and the one-stop shops established pursuant to Article 15a, paying particular attention to vulnerable households.

At the request of the Member States, the Commission shall assist Member States in staging information campaigns for the purposes of paragraph 1 and the first subparagraph of this paragraph, which may be dealt with in Union programmes.

Change 138

Changed3. Member States shall ensure that guidance and training, including a gender perspective, are made available, for those responsible for implementing this Directive. Such guidance and training shall address the importance of improving energy performance, and shall enable consideration of the optimal combination of improvements in energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, [useuse of energy from renewable sources and use of district heating and cooling]cooling when planning, designing, building and renovating industrial or residential areas. Such guidance and training shall also address structural improvements, adaptation to climate change, fire safety, risks related to intense seismic activity, the removal of hazardous substances including asbestos, air pollutant emissions (including fine particulate matter), indoor environmental quality and accessibility for persons with disabilities. Member States shall endeavour to allocate funding for training to local and regional authorities, renewable energy communities and citizen energy communities that promote energy performance improvements, energy efficiency, renewable energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at a neighbourhood level and in particular, to vulnerable households.

4. The Commission shall continuously improve its information services, in particular the website that has been set up as a European portal for energy efficiency in buildings directed towards citizens, professionals and authorities, in order to assist Member States in their information and awareness-raising efforts. Information displayed on that website might include links to relevant ▌Union law and national, regional and local rules, links to Europa websites that display the National Energy Efficiency Action Plans, links to available financial instruments, as well as best practice examples at national, regional and local level, including with regard to the one-stop shops established pursuant to Article 15a. In the context of the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the Just Transition Fund, the Social Climate Fund, and the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Commission shall continue and further intensify its information services with the aim of facilitating the use of available funds by providing assistance and information, including through the European Local Energy Assistance facility in cooperation with the European Investment Bank to interested stakeholders, including national, regional and local authorities, on funding possibilities, taking into account the latest changes in the regulatory framework.
