Energy Use in Buildings: Use It Better, Use It Less

Synopsis
40% of Europe’s energy use is consumed in buildings - more than by industry or transport. There is great potential for energy savings in this field, often at little cost. A new European directive contributes to improving the energy performance of buildings. It provides, for example, for: the application of minimum standards of energy efficiency to buildings in every country in the EU; the creation of a certificate to inform buyers or tenants of the energy performance of the building they hope to occupy; the posting in large, frequented, public buildings of energy performance certificates for information.
