Fit for 55 – prepare your building for change. We are happy to help
Have you heard of Fit for 55? It is a package of legislative proposals by the European Commission aimed at reducing European greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.
Have you heard of Fit for 55? It is a package of legislative proposals by the European Commission aimed at reducing European greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels). This ambitious plan covers various sectors, including energy, transport and the construction industry. One of its key goals is achieving EU carbon neutrality by 2050.
How will Fit for 55 affect us directly? In the Czech Republic, the measures will impose an obligation to reduce emissions by 26% from road transport, building heating, agriculture, small industrial operations and waste management. And this by 2030 compared to 2005.
New buildings? Carbon neutral only
Under the Fit for 55 plan, the construction of new buildings becomes a very important topic. According to new standards, these buildings must produce the same amount of energy they need for their operation and minimize their environmental impact. For this reason, they must be designed to be zero-emission.
Fit for 55 and existing buildings
The conditions set for new buildings are clear. But what about existing buildings? They must be renovated under the plan to meet new requirements for energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions. Building renovation to meet these conditions will therefore be absolutely crucial. It should be noted that from 2027, emissions from building heating will also be subject to charges. If you want to avoid these new financial expenses, use the remaining time for appropriate renovation of your building, and especially the subsidies that will help you with it.
Why is it important for buildings to be carbon neutral? Greenhouse gas emissions from buildings represent a significant share of total emissions. According to the European Commission, this amounts to more than 40% of CO2 emissions in Europe.
Building renovation step by step
First, each building will need a so-called energy audit, which is a detailed evaluation of the building energy performance. This audit will focus on evaluating all aspects of the building, such as:
- heating
- air conditioning
- lighting
- ventilation
- insulation
The goal of the energy audit is to determine what modifications and changes are necessary to achieve the required levels of building energy efficiency. Furthermore, the energy audit will set an approximate budget for the proposed measures and inform you about subsidy opportunities.
After it is performed, modifications will be designed and implemented that improve the energy efficiency of the building and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These modifications may include:
- wall and ceiling insulation
- window and door replacement
- modernization of heating, air conditioning, lighting and ventilation systems
- installation of renewable energy sources such as solar panels or heat pumps
These modifications will not only benefit our environment but will also improve the quality of life inside buildings and help reduce energy costs.
