Changes from plenary report to adopted text

Member States may adopt new incentives and funding to encourage the switch from fossil-fuelled heating and cooling systems to non-fossil fuel based systems, accompanied by investment in housing improving energy efficiency.

4a. Member States shall lay down requirements to ensure that, where technically and economically feasible, non-residential buildings are equipped with building automation and control systems, as follows:

(a) by 31 December 2024, non-residential buildings with an effective rated output for heating systems, cooling systems or systems for combined space heating and ventilation of over 290 kW;

(b) by 31 December 2029, non-residential buildings with an effective rated output for heating systems, cooling systems or systems for combined space heating and ventilation of over 70 kW.

Member States shall set out clear parameters for establishing the economic feasibility of equipping non-residential buildings with building automation and control systems.

4b. The building automation and control systems referred to in paragraph 4a shall be capable of:

(a) continuously monitoring, logging, analysing and allowing for adjusting energy use;

(b) benchmarking the building’s energy efficiency, detecting losses in efficiency of technical building systems, and informing the person responsible for the facilities or technical building management about opportunities for energy efficiency improvement;

(c) allowing communication with connected technical building systems and other appliances inside the building, and being interoperable with technical building systems across different types of proprietary technologies, devices and manufacturers;

(d) effective monitoring of indoor environmental quality, to ensure occupants’ health and safety.

4c. Member States shall lay down requirements to ensure that, where technically and economically feasible, from 1 January 2025, new residential buildings and residential buildings undergoing major renovations with an effective rated output for heating systems, cooling systems or systems for combined space heating, cooling and ventilation of over 70 kW are equipped with the following:

(a) the functionality of continuous electronic monitoring of systems in the building at the relevant building and unit level that measures efficiency and informs building owners or managers in the case of a significant variation and when system servicing is necessary;

(b) effective control and balancing functionalities to ensure optimum generation, distribution, storage and use of energy;

(c) demand-side flexibility;

(d) effective indoor environmental quality monitoring system, to ensure occupants’ health and safety.

4d. In addition to requirements set out in paragraph 4c, residential buildings with a useful floor area larger than 1 000 sqm shall also be equipped with functionality allowing both of the following:

(a) benchmarking of the building’s energy efficiency, detecting of losses in efficiency of technical building systems, and informing the person responsible for the facilities or technical building management about opportunities for energy efficiency improvement;

(b) communication with connected technical building systems and other appliances inside the building, and being interoperable with technical building systems across different types of proprietary technologies, devices and manufacturers.

4e. Member States shall require that, where technically and economically feasible, non-residential buildings are equipped with automatic lighting controls. The automatic lighting controls shall be capable of all of the following:

(a) zoned occupancy control for indoor lighting with automatic detection;

(b) zoned automatic dimming of the lighting power based on daylight levels in daylight;

(c) enabling continuous monitoring, logging and fault detection;

(d) allowing end-user control;

Indoor environmental quality indicators shall be measured inside the building and shall at least include:

(a) the level of carbon dioxide;

(b) the temperature and thermal comfort;

(c) the relative humidity;

(d) the level of daylight illumination or adequate daylight levels;

(e) the ventilation rate in air changes per hour;

(f) acoustic indoor comfort, such as the control of the reverberation time and background noise level and speech intelligibility.

Particulate matter of emissions of indoor sources and target pollutant limits from indoor sources, on volatile organic compounds, classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, including formaldehyde, shall be reported on the basis of the available data at product level, or direct measurement where available, of the relevant sources in relation to the indoor environment of the building.

3. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 29 to supplement this Directive by establishing a methodology framework for calculating the indoor environmental quality standards.

4. Member States shall ensure that new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovation comply with adequate indoor environmental quality standards.

3. Member States may, subject to an assessment by local authorities, taking into account local characteristics, including demographical, geographical and climate conditions, adjust requirements for the number of bicycle parking spaces in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 for specific categories of non-residential buildings ▌.

4. With regard to new residential buildings and residential buildings undergoing major renovation, where that renovation includes the car park or the electrical installations of the building, with more than three parking spaces, where the car park is located inside the building or the car park is physically adjacent to, or has a clear link with the building Member States shall ensure the installation:

(a) in new residential buildings, of pre-cabling for every parking space and, in residential buildings undergoing major renovation, of pre-cabling or, where technically and economically unfeasible, ducting for every parking space to enable the installation, at a later stage, of recharging points for electric vehicles and electrically power-assisted cycles and other L-category vehicle types; Member States shall ensure that the pre-cabling is dimensioned to enable the simultaneous use of recharging points on all parking spaces;

(aa) of at least one recharging point;

(b) at least two bicycle parking spaces for every dwelling in new residential buildings;

(ba) at least two bicycle parking spaces for every dwelling in residential buildings undergoing major renovation, where technologically and economically feasible;

(bb) in new residential buildings with at least three dwellings and where there are no car parking spaces, at least two bicycle parking spaces for every dwelling, where technologically and economically feasible.

By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, Member States may, subject to an assessment by local authorities and taking into account local characteristics, including demographical, geographical and climate conditions, adjust requirements for the number of bicycle parking spaces.

5. Member States may decide not to apply paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 to specific categories of buildings where the pre-cabling required would rely on micro isolated systems or the buildings are situated in the outermost regions within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU, if this would lead to substantial problems for the operation of the local energy system and would endanger the stability of the local grid.

5a. Following a reasoned request by a Member State, the Commission may decide to allow that Member State to adjust the requirements in paragraphs 1 and 2 for specific categories of buildings where:
