competition and antitrust laws in the countries in

which it is active.

The EPEE Steering Committee has agreed to conduct

all meetings and activities taking place in the EPEE

framework in strict accordance with the EPEE

Governance and Compliance Programme.

These various steps include the following:

EPEE staff and membership have been requested to

familiarise themselves with the essential elements of

the competition rules;

Copies of the EPEE Governance and Compliance

Programme will be made available at all EPEE

meetings and can also be obtained at any time from

the Secretariat;

Discussions at such meetings will focus on EPEE’s

legitimate purposes thus avoiding any aspects which

could result in violations of the competition rules;

Prior to meetings, a written agenda is sent out and

has been checked to ensure that all items satisfy the

EPEE Governance and ComplianceProgramme. The

agenda shall also indicate the exact time of the

beginning and end of the meeting.

EPEE is committed to comply strictly with all laws

that govern its activities, including all competition

and antitrust laws in the countries in which it is

active. Failure to do so may have serious

consequences for EPEE, its members and their

customers as well as for the final consumer.

Reminder: Violations of EU competition rules may

result in the imposition of fines and/or penalty

payments for the undertakings responsible.

2.a. Institutional updatesEnergy Performance of Buildings Directive

State of play: • The Council, the European Parliament, and the Commission found an agreement on the Energy

performance of buildings Directive (EPBD) on 19 December 2017.• The Council adopted formally the agreement on 31st January. The ITRE Committee adopted it on

21 February and the plenary vote will take place in April/May.

Next Steps: • The transposition period will be 20 months after the entry into force of the Directive (i.e. 20 days

after its publication in the EU Official Journal), probably in June. This means that the Directive should be transposed by early 2020.

• The European Commission is working on a “Questions & Answers” document on the implementation of EPBD to be published in June 2018.

Close-up into the EPBD final agreement

Part load

• Recital 16a introduces ‘part load conditions’

• Articles 14.1 & 15.1 introduces the need for inspections to take into account ‘typical or average operating conditions’, where relevant

Building automation and control (BACs):

• The definition of Building Automation and control, as suggested by EPEE was introduced in Article 2

• Big non-residential buildings should equipped with building automation and control systems by 2025 (Articles 14 and 15).

Inspections:

• Recital 16a states the importance of inspections of heating, cooling and ventilation systems and Articles 14 and 15 introduce inspections for combined space heating/air conditioning and ventilation purposes of over 70 kW, the threshold suggested by EPEE.

• Member States may still opt to take alternative measures to inspections. Nonetheless, Member States have to prove that the adequate advice have “equivalent effects” to inspections.

• Articles 14.3 & 15.3 provides that buildings complying with BACs or electronic monitoring systems, depending on their size, will be exempted from the inspections requirements

EPB Standards:

• The final agreement is in line with what the Commission had proposed in Annex I in its original proposal.

Page 12: EPEE EEE Working Group Face-to-face meeting · 1.a. Competition Law Statement The European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) is committed to comply strictly with all

Smart Readiness Indicator for Buildings

Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) = give recognition to smarter building technologies and functionalities which enhance the energy efficiency and other pertinent performance characteristics of the building stock

EPBD final text

• According to the EPBD final text, SRI will be optional and based on two legal instruments: delegated acts for its definition and its calculation methodology and, implementing acts for the technical modalities of its implementation.

• Technical study commissioned by DG ENERGY to feed into the calculation methodology

SRI Stakeholder meeting – December 2017

• Presentation of the objectives of VITO study and ongoing work on defining smart ready services (heating, cooling, lighting, mechanic ventilation ect.) with strong consideration on technological neutrality

• Calculation methodology to take into account smartness performance & impact (i.e. energy savings, comfort, health, convenience, information to occupants, self generation, maintenance prediction ect.)

• Assessing the smartness of a building is currently expected to require onsite inspection of the building but streamlining the methodology is needed to reduce expected time spent for inspections

Next steps

• Stakeholder consultation expected in May 2018 on new updated version of the study and beginning of the impact assessment

Energy Efficiency Directive State of play:

• 2nd trilogue meeting on the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was held on 20 March.

• Discussions focused on energy poverty issues without reaching a common position.

• Agreement on metering, information and billing systems and financing energy efficiency.

• Negotiations need first to resolve the technical issues that are currently present in the final text adopted by the Parliament. Once these have been agreed upon, the discussions will focus on the key part of the text: the energy efficiency binding targets under Article 7

EPEE Activities:

• EPEE co-signed an industry paper calling for a PEF at 2.0

• Coalition for Energy Savings letter on EED to Member States in February 2018

Next Steps:

• Next trilogue postponed to 16 May so that ministers have a chance to discuss the main energy files currently under trialogue discussions at their informal meeting of 19 April

• Next trilogue will focus on energy efficiency targets and the obligation of energy savings under Article 7

Page 14: EPEE EEE Working Group Face-to-face meeting · 1.a. Competition Law Statement The European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) is committed to comply strictly with all

Next Steps:

• Report to be finalized by May 2018.

• Adoption at national level will be required.

Page 15: EPEE EEE Working Group Face-to-face meeting · 1.a. Competition Law Statement The European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) is committed to comply strictly with all

Renewable Energy Sources Directive

State of play:

• The RED II trilogues are still in an exploratory phase after the second meeting (27 March) showed great varieties in the Council and Parliament’s positions.

• Many technical meetings are taking place to try and approach the respective current positions.

• COREPER I met on 28 March 28 to discuss ongoing negotiations (RED II and EED).

EPEE Activities:

• EPEE co-signed an industry paper calling for only renewable heating and cooling to be counted for the renewable heating and cooling yearly increase of Article 23.

Next Steps:

• Next trilogue meeting organized on 17 May.

More precisely

• The „cold economy approach“ is a risk in itself as – in theory – it kills twobirds with one stone: phase-out of HFCs and increase of energy efficiency.

• K-CEP and Cooling4ALL may get diverted to serve interests such as the„cold economy“ and not-in-kind technologies (Dearman engine et.al)

• The quest for „clean technologies“ spills over to the fight against HFOs bythe natural refrigerants lobby (Shecco, GIZ, EIA, etc.): For example, thevocabulary of „leap-frogging“ appears already today in both debates!

• Cross-fertilization with European developments in the run-up to therevision of the F-Gas Regulation

– Actors overlap already today

– Yvon Slingenberg, Director DG CLIMA, is a strong supporter of Energy Efficiency and will probably like the „cold economy“ approach which claims bringing together phase-out of HFCs and energy efficiency.

Page 33: EPEE EEE Working Group Face-to-face meeting · 1.a. Competition Law Statement The European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) is committed to comply strictly with all

What can we do?

• Get more involved on a global level: It is essential that industry gets more involved in the Kigali Energy Efficiency debate.

– There is a true mission for GFCCC

• Don‘t neglect Europe: “Inspiration“ on a global level to divert the objective of improving the cold chain and increasing energy efficiency towards other topics and interests may well come from Europe:

– Via key stakeholders such as Prof. Toby Peters, the UK „cold economy roadmap“, the natural refrigerant lobby, CoolingEU, etc.

– EPEE can be an important link between the European and the global stakeholder landscape

• Team up with other important stakeholders :

– For example, the IIR (I have approached Didier Coulomb to participate in the work of the CoolingEU Forum)

• Form alliances:

– Seek like-minded industry associations: for example Transfrigoroute International may be an important ally when it comes to the Dearman approach.

• Provide input:

– IEA Future of Cooling Report focusing on the huge projected growth of A/C, in particular in China and India, its contribution to emissions (mainly via energy consumption and still strong use of coal) and the huge importance of energy efficiency.

Cooling EU event

CoolingEU event- Meeting with CoolingEU on 12 April - EP workshop hosted by an MEP in autumn 2018- Proposed concept note:

Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration: One of the fastest growing sectors worldwide that can truly make our worldmore sustainable

The European heating and cooling sector is making great strides in offering consumers more sustainable, cleanand energy efficient solutions for their everyday needs. Global and EU level initiatives addressing the impact of thesector on climate have spurred the innovation potential of this sector in the different areas of activity – notably inbuildings and the cold chain.

At global level, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol – one of the most significant and successful effortsto combat climate change – adds HFCs to the list of substances to be phased-down globally. To complement thoseefforts, the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Programme supports the implementation of the Amendment by focusing onthe energy efficiency of cooling. Another global initiative, Cooling for All, which is part of the Sustainable Energyfor all Programme, concentrates on embedding growing cooling needs of a growing population within a cleanenergy transition.

Join us at this workshop to hear how Europe is pioneering in this field and find out about the contribution oursector can make to achieving a clean energy transition, meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
