Det finns idag cirka 160 miljoner byggnader inom EU och energianvändningen hos dessa står för cirka 40 % av unionens totala energiförbrukning. Detta gör byggnadsbeståndet inom EU till den enskilt största källan till koldioxidutsläpp. Dagens krav om energieffektivitet på moderna byggnader såsom bostadshus, kontorshus och andra lokaler är ett steg i ledet om att minska energianvändningen inom sa
