EUenergiatehokkuusdirektiivejä

EUenergiatehokkuus, often referred to as energy efficiency in the European Union, represents a key policy objective aimed at reducing energy consumption and its associated environmental and economic impacts. The EU has set ambitious targets for improving energy efficiency, recognizing its crucial role in achieving climate goals, enhancing energy security, and boosting competitiveness.

This policy framework encompasses a wide range of measures, including regulations, directives, and financial incentives. These initiatives target various sectors, such as buildings, transport, industry, and products. For example, building energy performance directives set standards for new and renovated buildings, while ecodesign and energy labeling regulations aim to improve the efficiency of energy-consuming products like appliances and lighting.

The implementation of EUenergiatehokkuus policies is supported by various funding mechanisms and programs designed to encourage investments in energy-saving technologies and practices. Member states are required to transpose EU directives into national law and develop their own energy efficiency action plans. The overall aim is to create a more sustainable and resilient energy system for the Union.
