Renovate Europe sent letters to President Juncker and each of the Commissioners highlighting the direct impact that next week’s Energy Union ‘Winter Package’ will have on the energy renovation market, and in turn on citizens and businesses across the EU. Enclosed with the letter are the 26 postcards with photo of 26 different MEPs explaining why they want to see stronger action on buildings in EU policy. These MEPs are from 4 different parties and 15 different countries, demonstrating the cross-party and cross-country support for massive energy renovation in the EU.
Cross-party and Cross-country Support for Massive Energy Renovation in the EU
Dear President Juncker,
The content of the Energy Union ‘Winter Package’ to be published next week will have a direct impact on the energy renovation market, and in turn on citizens and businesses across the EU. Why is there such strong support for energy renovation of the building stock in the revisions of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and in the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)?
26 MEPs from 4 different parties and 15 different countries stood in front of the camera lens to explain why they want to see stronger action on buildings in EU policy. The 26 postcards enclosed demonstrate the reasons why MEPs believe energy renovation is so important for people’s homes, people’s jobs and people’s wellbeing.
Legislation is the main driver for the energy renovation market. Don’t miss this opportunity to set a long-term vision for the EU building stock, transforming it to a highly energy efficient building stock (known as Nearly Zero Energy Building standard – NZEB) by 2050. This is a sure way to increase investment, boost SMEs in the construction sector, and improve people’s homes and wellbeing.
Yours sincerely,
Adrian Joyce
Renovate Europe Campaign Director
