Implementing the EU Energy Efficiency Directive: Analysis of Member States plans to implement Article 5

New analysis by the Coalition for Energy Savings of national reports on the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), published in May 2015, revealed that central governments had not shown leadership in ending the waste of energy in their own buildings.

The report analyses the plans and inventories that Member States notified to the European Commission in order to comply with Article 5 of the EED, which requires them to annually renovate 3% of the floor area of central government buildings or put in place alternative measures to reach at least the same energy savings.
