Buildings cONSUME A Lot of Energy

Strict legislation on CO2 emissions reduction and increasingly higher electricity prices will force European businesses to focus on energy efficiency initiatives.

Four European Directives FIGHT Energy Inefficiency

European Climate Law

Introduces a carbon budget to regulate the total greenhouse gas emissions allowed from 2030 to 2050.
The 2050 net-zero goal and the 2030 emissions reduction target are mandatory for all Member States and legally enforces ETS

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) are set to phase out the least energy-efficient buildings
Energy Performance Certificates are mandatory for buildings when they are sold, rented, or constructed

Emissions trading system 2.0

Limits CO2 from buildings’ operations from 2027 on
Cap-and-trade system to reduce emissions by 42% in 2030 vs 2005; CO2 allowances decreasing every year
Electricity prices will increase because of CO2 limits on fuel suppliers

The EU Commission wants to incentivize building renovation

"The carbon price set by the ETS2 will provide a market incentive for investments in building renovations and low-emissions mobility"

The Energy Efficiency Directive

Sets legally binding obligations for Member States to drive energy savings in buildings
Member States must achieve 11.7% energy consumption reduction by 2030 vs. 2020 baseline.
Became operational in October 2023 in the EU
Makes regular energy audits mandatory for large companies
Energy efficiency inspections of HVAC installations of over 70 kW become mandatory, by law

Fans account for up to 25% of a building's energy consumption.

Their energy efficiency is critical.

HVAC Represents 50% of a building's energy needs

On average, HVAC systems account for about 50% of a building's energy needs. This may be as high as 60% depending on the type of building.

ventilation fans are a major energy consumer

Fans account for roughly 40% of the total HVAC energy consumption. As such, fans alone may account for up to 25% of a building's energy consumption. As such, their energy efficiency is critical.

PURE solutions replace inefficient AC fans with modern EC fans.
