The EU is preparing a ban on the sale of unprofitable buildings.Decides an energy label

The European Commission (EC) prepares a directive that can complicate the rent and sale of older properties that do not meet the prescribed energy standards.Any building that will not have an energy label at least at level E since 2027, could not be rented or sold according to the EC design.This may occur especially in countries with a large proportion of old houses, this can be even more complicated at the present situation in the housing market.

The EC design that escaped to the media last week is not yet final.On Monday, however.On Tuesday, according to the spokesperson of the EC representation in the Czech Republic Magdalena Frouzová, this directive, which is part of the energy package, has to discuss and approve the Commission.According to the proposed directive, from 2027 could not be sold or rented real estate that does not obtain an energy label at least at level E, since January 2033 even a label with letter C.

"Each Member State will establish minimum energy performance standards that will lead to the renovation of existing buildings," says the EURACTIV server.“These standards will start paying at the latest in 2027.Until 2035, the minimum energy performance standards will apply to the entire National Building Fund, ”says the document.

According to the proposal, each Member State should “draw up the action plan of renovation of buildings to support the renovation of the domestic residential and non -residential buildings - both public and private - into highly energy -efficient and decarbonized buildings by 2050 to convert existing buildings into buildings into buildings into buildingswith zero emissions, ”says the document prepared by the EC.

This is also related to the plan of setting national objectives by 2030, 2040 and 2050, which concerns the expected share of repaired buildings, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, as well as overview of policies and necessary measures in connection with this issue.

The EC proposal is related to the EU to become a carbon neutral.Until 2030, all new buildings should also be “emission -free”, and this standard will be required for public buildings since 2027.

This Directive could in practice mean that some older houses could no longer be rented or sold if they were not renovated.This could be problematic in some Member States, where there is a high proportion of old houses, or lack of space for housing, which is the case of the Czech Republic in which housing is hard to reach especially in cities.

The EC report was discussed on Monday MEPs at their plenary session in Strasbourg.Pirates are a party that the Commission's efforts to tighten energy standards support that it is a "way to get to carbon neutrality".

On the other hand, the ending Minister of Industry, Trade and Transport Karel Havlíček (ANO) told Echo24 that his Ministry did not support the Commission's proposal."With regard to the lack of building materials, we do not support this design," Havlicek said."Even in one of the latest versions, all buildings (including existing and not only for rent) should have an energy label at E level," the Minister confirmed that the European Commission is planning to introduce a label for the existing buildings servingto rent or sell.

MEP, on the other hand.“I approach the Directive from the position of opposition MEP, so I do not want to speculate about the motifs of the Commission.However, the Directive does not change the validity of existing building approval authorities, so I consider similar concerns to be odd.The aim is to make it easier to make investments and speed up the advent of modern technologies in the field of construction, ”said ECHO24 MEP.
