38 | THE PERFECT FIT REGULATORY ASSISTANCE PROJECT 4.3 Regulatory requirements for heat pumps While pricing and subsidies are clearly important elements of the policy picture for heat pumps, other policy options, broadly categorized into ‘regulatory’ measures, can support heat pump deployment. The following sub-sections consider how the Fit for 55 package, and related policy measures, might drive heat pumps via regulation and how the package could be improved. A multitude of potential regulatory measures, some of which are already in use around the world, can support heat pumps. Such measures include building standards, renovation standards, appliance performance standards, and bans on fossil-fuel appliances. The following two sub-sections consider how building standards or codes might drive the uptake of heat pumps in retrofit situations and also in new builds. The final sub-section considers how product standards could also support heat-pumped heating systems. 4.3.1 Proposed revision of the EPBD for existing buildings What are the current EU proposals? The proposal for the recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) (15th December 2021)45 contains a number of relevant elements: • The scope of the Directive is expanded to cover more explicitly the decarbonisation of buildings, not only energy performance. • Member States must set out policies and measures to phase out fossil fuels in heating and cooling to complete the phaseout by 2040 within their National Building Renovation Plans.46 • Minimum energy performance standards47 are introduced to improve the worst-performing buildings in classes F and G to class E by 2030 for non-domestic and 2033 for domestic buildings. Member States are further required to set out timelines for buildings to achieve higher performance levels in 2040 and 2050. • Clarification is given that Member States may introduce policies to phase out the use of fossil fuels through requirements related to GHG emissions or types of fuels used in heating systems. • Financial incentives for fossil fuel boilers are prohibited from 2027 or from 2030 for investments already committed before 2027.48 45 European Commission.
