1.5°C Paris Climate AgreementEU 2050 Decarbonisation StrategyEU 2030 Targets

Affordability of solutions and quality of life for all Europeans have never been more important

The EU is going through a total transformation ofits energy system, culture and consumption habits

Tracking progress towards 2020 & 2030More efforts are required!

CO2 contributes 96% to the energyrelated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 90% is from fuelcombustion

The important role of energy

72%

Of the EU‘s primaryenergy consumption isstill based on fossil fuels

29%Of the EU‘s electricityproduction is based on renewables

17%Of the EU‘s final energyconsumption is basedon renewables

➔ Energy efficiency needs to increase

➔ Fossil fuels in the primary energy mix must bereduced substantially

➔ The share of renewables in the electricity mix and in final energy consumption needs tofurther increase

EU GHG emissions by sector

Where do we stand with heating and cooling?

No 1

Of the EU‘s final energyis used for heating &

cooling, of which up to6% is currently for

cooling

Of the EU‘s final energyused for heating & cooling is based on

renewables.

Heating & Cooling is thenumber 1 consumer of

renewable energy in Europe, followed by

electricity and transport.

19%

Of the EU‘s final energy consumptionin the tertiary sectoris already today usedfor space cooling.

X 2

By 2030, the numberof air-conditionersand refrigerators isexpected to double in Europe.

By 2050, with business as usual, the cooling demand in the EU‘s residential sector is expected to be 4 x higher than in 2015

Full implementation of the EPBD: Tap into the potential of TBS for new builds and in view of long-term renovation strategies (see next slide)

Ensure stronger and more effective marketsurveillance on Ecodesign & Energy Labelling requirements

Implement properly the F-Gas Regulation, e.g. dissuasivefines, border controls, reporting, etc.

Incentivize smart HVACR via schemes such as dynamic pricing, etc. to provide cost-attractive flexibility to the grid

Incentivize thermal energy recovery byvalorising heatgenerated by coolingsystems 5

Our call on policy makers

Promote national implementationand enforcement of EU Laws

Ensure that cooling and an integrated approach with heating is includedin National Energy & Climate Plans (NECPs) & Long term strategies (LTS)

Advocate at EU level for national heating & cooling strategies

Take an integrated approach

Encourage synergies between heating and cooling such as heat recoveryfrom cooling systems or the use of heat pumps that are able to provideheating and cooling

Encourage demand side management and thermal storage via heatingand cooling systems to provide flexibility for the grid

Inform, empower and motivateconsumers

Strengthen tools to raise awareness on energy efficiency (Energy labelsfor buildings and products, metering, etc.)

Support the deployment of smart appliances by rewarding flexibility

Reward sustainable finance

Develop a framework to drive investments into sustainable solutions for consumers, business and investors

Ensure sustainable public spending (taxation, electricity prices, subsidies) and put an end to subsidising fossil fuels

Upskill installers

Provide lifelong learning to keep up with technological developments

Ensure the adaptation of the curriculum to match the industry’s evolving needs

Recognise the sector’s specificity through the allocation of a dedicated code in the NACE statistical classification
