The European Parliament has voted for new plans to make the EU’s building sector climate neutral by 2050. And it says all new buildings should have zero-emissions from 2028.
MEPs were voting on the proposed revision of the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. It aims to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the EU building sector by 2030 with the aim of making it climate neutral by 2050.
The measures include increasing the rate of renovations of energy-inefficient buildings and improving information-sharing on energy performance. MEPs say national renovation plans should include support schemes to facilitate access to grants and funding. And they want targeted grants and subsidies for energy-saving renovations for vulnerable households.
Fianna Fail MEP Billy Kelleher explains.
