GB 55015-2021 - General Code for Building Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Utilization
…energy-saving renovations of existing buildings, to be designed for energy efficiency. Data reporting specifying the building’s energy consumption and carbon emission are also required. Compared to previous building codes, the regulation puts more emphasis on post-construction buildings operational management (not only the materials and construction process), requires comprehensive measurement and disclosure of energy consumption and carbon emissions, and increases ambition for energy savings through energy efficiency. Carbon emissions: The Code requires that the carbon emission intensity of new residential and public buildings should be reduced by an average of 40% on the basis of the energy-saving…

Public Sector Energy Efficiency Strategy
…While each public body must take responsibility for managing its own energy, its parent Department will have an oversight and leadership role for ensuring that the bodies under their aegis, i.e. their "group", engage in structured energy management. This will have a number of advantages: Creating accountability, as Departments will have to report to government annually; Forming a coherent view of energy saving potential across all 350 public bodies; Allowing more flexibility in strategic decisions to be made on where best to concentrate effort within a Department 'group ' -not all bodies will be able to make 33% energy savings…

Budget Law 2007 - Energy efficiency provisions
…foresee a 50% tax deduction from 01/01/2015 to 31/12/2015 (30/06/2016 for renovations carried out on the common parts of residential buildings). In 2008, a tax credit to favour the installation of RES plants was introduced to subtract from the IRPEF (income tax of physical persons) or IRES (income tax on companies revenues) part of the costs incurred. The tax credit scheme provides a support for interventions aimed at achieving energy savings, including the implementation of renewable energy systems installed to meet the energy needs of residential buildings (i.e. domestic , lighting , power electrical appliances…
