Introduction to the Energy Efficiency DirectiveLeonardo ENERGY
The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was adopted in 2012 and is one of the EU’s four key Directives addressing energy efficiency in stationary (i.e. non transport) end-uses (the others being the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive, The Ecodesign Directive and the Energy Labelling Directive). Given that the other Directives cover the energy performance of buildings and equipment the EED is designed to address energy savings opportunities that are not readily addressed by the other Directives. It has its origin in the preceding Energy Services Directive, which was repealed when the EED was adopted. The Energy Efficiency Directive establishes a set of binding measures intended to help the EU reach its 20% energy efficiency target by 2020. Under the Directive, all EU countries are required to use energy more efficiently at all stages of the energy chain from its production to its final consumption. EU countries were required to transpose the Directive's provisions into their national laws by 5 June 2014.

Energy efficiency trends in buildings in the EULeonardo ENERGY
(For an updated version of this deck, addressing pending questions with some more details and references, please visit https://www.slideshare.net/sustenergy/energy-efficiency-trends-in-buildings-in-the-eu-update)
What has been the overall trend in final energy consumption of buildings in the EU since 2010?
What are the main drivers of the energy consumption variation, and in particular energy savings, for residential and service buildings?
These are the key questions answered during this (11th) webinar in the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy.
Highlights from their research:
➢The energy consumption of buildings has steadily decreased since 2010 despite GDP growth.
➢There are large disparities in building performances across countries.
➢Since 2015, the rate of household energy efficiency improvements has dropped by 50% (compared to 2000-2014).
➢Energy efficiency of large electrical appliances, which has largely improved in the past, does not counterbalance anymore the rapid growth of the consumption of small appliances.

European countries are currently facing complex energy challenges including major external energy dependence or an increasing concern about climate change. The Conclusions of the European Council in 2007 and 2011 established a need for reaching at least a total 20% of savings in the European primary energy consumption by 2020 (2007 baseline).
In order to meet this challenge, the European Union published in 2012 the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU (EED), which has established a common framework to promote concrete actions related to energy efficiency in the European market.
Within the EED, the Article 14 stands out for promoting the energy efficiency through the use of CHP (combined heat and power), district heating and cooling and by recovering industrial waste heat.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

5. New strategies on EU level
Energy efficiency is key priority on EU level
“Energy 2020” - European Strategy for Energy
Proposal of a new Energy Efficiency Plan (EEP)
of 8 March 2011
Buildings also part of the proposal for a new
Energy Efficiency Directive, adopted by the COM
at 22 June 2011 (repealing Directives 2004/8/EC
and 2006/32/EC)

6. New Energy Efficiency Plan (EEP)
Policy concepts in the new EEP
reach 20% - objectives
mainstream energy efficiency in all relevant policy
areas
build up commitment towards further energy
efficiency up to and beyond 2020
EEP will address energy saving potential in all
relevant sectors (buildings, transport, industry
etc.)

7. New Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)
Policy concepts in the new EED
Energy efficiency obligation: MS make sure that an
equivalent of 1.5% of annually energy sales are saved
through energy efficiency measures
Public sector: lead by example: annual renovation works
covering at least 3% of total floor area of their buildings
Consumers: individual metering for better energy
management
Industry: obligations for larger companies to undergo
energy audits, incentives for small and medium sized
companies
Energy generation: monitoring of new energy generation
capacities
Energy transmission and distribution: national energy
regulators should decide taking energy efficiency criteria
into account

8. Energy efficiency – EU buildings sector
Buildings responsible for:
EU 27
total ~40 % of EU-Energy use
~36 % CO2-emissions
EU-
• 9% of EU 27 GDP
Buildings • 8% der EU-employees
sector
40% 36%
Basic European framework:
Directive on the energy
Energy CO2- performance of buildings
use emmissions (EPBD)
8/26
9. Energy efficiency – EU buildings sector
Energy savings potential in the buildings sector
Energetical refurbishment of the building stock
Higher renovation rates towards low-energy buildings
would speed up
Main barriers: high upfront investment costs, low level
of professional training, lack of information
Possible answers: exemplary role of public sector,
more financial support and targeted professional
training
10. EPBD: legislation on EE for buildings
EPBD – Key elements (Directive 2002/91/EC)
A methodology to calculate and rate the energy
performance
Minimum energy performance requirements for new
and existing buildings that undergo major renovation
Energy performance certificates
Regular inspections of heating and air conditioning
systems
12. EPBD: legislation on EE for buildings
Recast EPBD (Directive 2010/31/EU)
Directive 2010/31/EU = recast of Directive
2002/91/EC on the energy performance of
buildings
July 2010 - Entry into force
Implementation by Member States two years
after entry into force (second half of 2012)
13. Recast EPBD - Directive 2010/31/EU
Recast EPBD - compared with Directive 2002/91/EC
The whole principle is still the same:
General framework (principle of subsidiarity)
Minimum energy requirements
Integration of alternative systems from RES
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Inspection of the efficiency of heating and cooling
Independent experts for certification
Exemplary role of public sector
14. Recast EPBD - Directive 2010/31/EU
New in the Recast EPBD
introduction of "nearly zero energy buildings" 2021
(public sector 2019)
Extension of minimum requirements to all buildings
Methodology for calculating the cost-optimal level
Strengthening Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Independent control system for EPCs
Publication of the EPCs in all commercial
announcements
Extension of display (>500m2, 2015>250m2)
15. Near to zero – buildings after 2019
“Nearly zero-energy” buildings from 2019/2021:
Art. 9 (1): MS shall ensure, that
By 31 December 2020 all new buildings occupied are
nearly zero-energy buildings and
after 31 Dezember 2018, new buildings occupied and
owned by public authorities are nearly zero-energy
buildings
MS shall draw up national plans for increasing
the number of nearly zero-energy buildings
16. Recast EPBD - Directive 2010/31/EU
Methodology for calculating the cost-optimal level
EPBD gives instruction on how to set minimum
performance requirements
Rationale: equivalent level of ambition but no
harmonisation
Aim: Shift focus from upfront investment costs to life
cycle costs
Based on CEN standards
MS complete framework with national parameters and
report calculations + input data to the Commission
Comparison of result with current requirements and
adjust building codes if needed

Tasks of the Commission in the Recast EPBD
New mandate for second generation of CEN-standards
Framework for calculation methodology on cost-
optimal levels (mid 2011)
Voluntary EU labelling scheme
every 3 years report of MS – improvement of
monitoring
examination of measures set by MS
19. Financing and supporting measures
Promotion of energy efficiency at EU-level
ERDF: since 2009 for EE/RES in retrofitting,
since 2010 new financial instruments (JESSICA)
ELENA: since 2009 grant for technical assistance
for EE/RES on regional und local level
EEE-F: New European Energy Efficiency Facility:
~200 Mio.€ in cooperation with EIB for technical
assistance, investment facilitation, contracting
Impact assessment: financing instruments for EE
Analysis of the appropriateness of EU funding for
the EPBD as requested by the EPBD
