In the document, the science advisory group calls for far-reaching policy action. So far, EU policies have centered on the concept of ‘Nearly-zero energy buildings’ with a focus on reducing the consumption of energy used to provide comfort to building occupants. But the energy used for operating buildings is only part of the story.
