Petition Summary
The petitioners asks the European Parliament to accept the "Display" label for use as an energy performance certificate in accordance with Directive 2010/31/EU for existing public buildings within the Member States of the EU. Development of the Display label was performed by the top-level experts through the project co-financed by the EU and the project was considered useful for the EU and its Member States. The petitioners consider that the label constitutes the best available means of voluntary energy performance certification as it has pre-existing tools, a monitoring system, and is already known in almost all Member States so related training is easy to arrange. In view of the petitioners accepting the Display label as a voluntary energy performance certification procedure in accordance with the Directive 2010/31/EU would save on the need to develop an entirely new energy performance voluntary system in the EU.
