EC wants EU buildings' energy use cut 14% by 2030 through renovation

摘要

The European Commission wants to see renovations cut EU buildings' final energy use by 14%, and their heating and cooling energy use by 18%, both by 2030 and compared with 2015, it said in its EU renovation wave strategy published Oct. 14. This would be in line with the EC's proposed target to cut EU CO_2 emissions by at least 55% from 1990 levels by 2030, which the European Parliament and national governments acting in the EU Council are still debating.
