Abstract
With the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the Renewable Energy Sources Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive, the European Union has established common frameworks for reducing energy consumption and increasing renewable energy use. The targets are in line with the overall 20-20-20 goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% compared to 1990, improving energy efficiency by 20% and increasing the share of EU energy produced from renewable resources by 20%. The directives set binding targets that have to be transposed into national law and implemented via national regulations at defined dates. To enhance the sharing of information and exchange of experiences from national adoption and implementation of this important legislation, the European Commission established, for each one of these three directives, a joint initiative with representatives of the national implementation bodies. These joint initiatives are called Concerted Actions.
