The European Union has agreed that from all new government buildings must be emissions-free. From , this standard will also apply to all new buildings and homes.
European Union member states have reached an agreement on stricter energy standards for buildings.
The new regulations will apply to new and existing commercial and residential buildings. The goal, as set out in the European Union's climate plans, is for all buildings to be energy neutral by
There are already energy labels for buildings, but their scope is merely informative. The new plans of the European Union are that, step by step, all buildings must become increasingly sustainable .
Stricter standards for new construction buildings.
In the case of existing buildings, a Phone Number List requirement will be imposed that when a building undergoes a major renovation, its overall energy efficiency rating must be improved.
For newly built buildings, European Union member states have agreed that from , all new government buildings must be emissions-free. From , that standard will also apply to all new buildings, including residential properties.
Buildings already built.
As for buildings already constructed, the rules are more complex.
European member states want the % of commercial buildings with the worst energy ratings to be renovated by
By , % of the least energy-efficient commercial buildings must become sustainable.
By defending these percentages, European member states are deviating from the initial idea proposed by the European Commission. The latter had proposed linking energy standards to the existing energy label system.

In that case, the standard that would apply is that commercial buildings would have to comply with at least label F by and label E by The use of 'energy efficiency classes' would have offered the advantage of working in the over the basis of definitions that would be more or less coherent throughout the European Union.
