MEPs debate on the goal to make the building sector climate neutral by 2050, all new buildings should be zero-emission from 2028. Existing residential buildings would have to be classified as at least E on their energy performance by 2030, and D by 2033 - on a scale going from A to G, the latter corresponding to the 15% worst-performing buildings in the national stock of a member state. Non-residential and public buildings would have to achieve the same by 2027 and 2030 respectively. Opening statements by Ciarán CUFFE (Greens/EFA, IE), Rapporteur, Kadri SIMSON, European Commissioner for Energy and by Radan KANEV (EPP, BG), ENVI Committee.
