What’s the cost of not renovating?
EU #BuildingsDirective negotiation is happening now. Final #FF55 file can kickstart renovations in the worst buildings – for climate & society
But all I hear are (scare) stories on the cost of renov.
What if it costs more not to?

🧵1/9 Image Europe’s building stock is leaky AND dependent on #FossilFuels to heat. Leading to huge, economy wide, costs to the public purse, incl:

🌟The Dutch Insulation Programme was launched last week.
👎I can't help but compare to the woeful lack of focus on insulation in today's British Energy Security Strategy and the UK Heat and Buildings Strategy.
Some highlights from the Dutch approach from which we can learn 🧵 1/7 Headline: aim to insulate 2.5 million Dutch homes by 2030. That's about 30%!
Focus on the worst first - those with energy label of E, F or G (which make up about 20%). This is important for #energypoverty alleviation. 2/7 Image

It’s out - the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast. We’ve all been waiting with bated breath for the central measure - Minimum #EnergyPerformance Standards - to kick-start the ‘Renovation Wave’.

Can we expect a deluge or a dribble? THREAD 1/11
#EPBD Image MEPS are essential to increase stubbornly low renovation rate AND one of few measures that can direct renovations to worst-performing buildings, alleviating #energypoverty

MEPS start with worst performing but should not stop there. They set a plan to fully decarbonise by 2050

1/11 Yesterday’s #Fitfor55 launch press conference was dominated by questions about the social impact. So, I took a bit of time to look at the new measures in the package to support low-income households to decarbonise. @RegAssistProj @RightToEnergy Image 2/11 First, raised ambition across the package is good for all. Effects of #ClimateChange will be felt by poorest most. Climate ambition is essential but not enough. Climate ambition must come hand in hand with commitment to address structural inequities.

@EU_Commission will propose Minimum #EnergyPerformance Standards (#MEPS) this year as part of #EPBD revision. Our new paper “Next steps for MEPS” sets out how to do this. 1/9 bit.ly/34wyimc #RenovationWave #EUGreenDeal @Energy4Europe
@RegAssistProj The current rate and depth of renovation is far below what we need to reach the 2030 #ClimateTargets in #Fitfor55, and too many Europeans are living in inefficient homes and suffering #energypoverty 2/9
