A vision for heating and cooling priorities for today and tomorrow.

Type of monograph: Standard/Recommendation

Summary

In this paper, EPEE outlines its vision on concrete measures that Europe can undertake to make its energy efficiency ambitions in the heating, cooling and refrigeration industry a reality.
In the short and medium term, to further strengthen and implement existing legislation to exploit the full energy savings potential in both new and existing buildings and to reduce the cost of the energy transition by making better use of synergies between these Directives.
In the longer term, to implement more visionary steps which would go beyond the existing framework and involve a more holistic, system-based approach where buildings should be considered as an integral part of the energy system, balancing energy supply and demand and where thermal networks and decentralised systems complement each other, providing more flexibility for an increased use of renewable energies.
