Implementation of the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive
…In the course of 2007 several regulations were passed on the energy efficiency of buildings, notably the Building Energy Certification (CER) and the Regulations on Building Heating Installations (RITE), approved by Royal Decrees RD 47/2007 and RD 1027/2007 respectively. These approvals together with the Technical Building Code (TBC) contribute to the partial transposition of the Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy efficiency of buildings into the Spanish legislation. The TBC includes a Basic Energy Saving Document and covers regulations on: 1)Limitations on energy demand (heating and air-conditioning) 2) Performance of Thermal Installations/Air-conditioning systems…

Fifty/fifty - incentive schemes for schools to save energy
In order to promote energy-conscious day-to-day behaviour, some German federal states, cities and municipalities have implemented special incentive programmes such as “Fifty/fifty" in schools. The incentive of Fifty/fifty is that each participant school receives 50 % of the energy costs saved by means of conscious user behaviour for its own free use. The aim is to save electricity and heat by means of simple and practicable energy-saving measures.
The approach has since been adopted by other EU Member States. -
