The new EPBD
 "Energy efficiency first" is a key element of
the Energy Union
 About 75% of buildings are energy inefficient
 Only 0.4-1.2% of the stock is renovated each
year
 The main objective is to accelerate the cost-
effective renovation of existing building,
which is a 'win-win' option for the EU
 Renovation work and energy retrofits add
almost twice as much value as the
construction of new buildings
