Objective
Reducing the energy consumption for the heating and/or air-conditioning of rooms as well as for hot water heating, in that the consumer is prompted to make cost savings. If the consumer has control over the generation of the heat and/or cold consumed by him as well as over his hot water consumption, then the billing of costs takes place at the level of the energy supply before the generation of heat or air-conditioning or at the level of the water supply, so that there is a direct motivation to save cost.
In some Member States, there are already legal regulations for individual subareas: in Germany, France and Spain,for instance. So far, no regulations have been made in the overwhelming number of the Member States. These guidelines shall help the Member States to take corresponding measures in the area of billing of energy costs within a relatively short time.
Final energy consumption in the domestic sector is mainly accounted for by heating,hot water and air conditioning for buildings.In attempting to reduce CO2 emissions,enormous efforts must therefore be concentrated on improving the performance of buildings.The building sector represents a growth area.The combination of persistent housing shortages in many M.States and economic success has led to a revival in the construction of new buildings.Indeed the building of new residential or commercial premises has already resulted in an increase in CO2 discharge and thus to increased emission-related pollution.
Together with the units of use of the service sector (not registered up-to-now) these buildings offer potential to motivate people to use energy more economically through the introduction of consumption-based billing of energy costs.For due to the lack of assistance of the individual member countries and rulings only a fraction of theses buildings is up-to-now fitted with systems rendering a consumption-beased billing of energy costs possible.
Article 3 of the new SAVE directive now gives all possibilities to make a consumption-based billing of energy costs possible for the Member States. This is also the starting-point for the E.V.V.E. to offer support and advise with easily comprehensible guidelines to the governments of especially these member countries which still have up-to-now no corresponding instruments so that their existing ideas for independent measures in the fields of the billing of energy costs can be implemented quicker and more effectively.
The guidelines contain important information on both the status quo in the individual Member States and possible energy-saving potentials through the consumption-based billing of energy costs.However,the core of the guidelines deals above all with proposals for the formulation of individual regulatory policy provisions.Here the E.V.V.E. can lean on the experiences and the know-how of the 24 major calculation firms in Europe.
