  2. The cheapest and most cost-effective path to greater energy security is energy saving. Most of this energy usage is wasted by leaking out through walls, windows, roofs, floors, doors, and through inefficient equipment. • Germany is leading the way in developing “green” technologies and has the most ambitious energy-saving program in Europe, consisting mainly of biomass, wind, and solar.

  3. Three main parts make up this program: 1. Strict national regulation and clear laws about upgrading buildings to make them more energy efficient, and also requiring electricity providers use more renewable energy sources. 2. Providing financial incentives (benefits) for using less energy at all levels of government. Loans and subsidies are provided by a public investment bank, which is funded by the German government. 3. Changing information about promoting efficient energy, working with local and regional groups to make these changes, developing standards through Energy Performance Certificates (evaluating efficiency), and supporting model projects in all of Germany.

  4. The development of renewable energy and constructing/upgrading energy efficient buildings (both public and private) are based on these main points: 1. Using regulation and legislation to reduce energy demand 2. Creating financial incentives (benefits) for saving energy and using 'green' technology 3. Giving information and advice on how to save energy

  5. Germany’s primary legal tool in reducing energy use is the Energy Conservation Act (EnEV). Amended in 2009, it requires the following nationwide: • Major changes to the building envelope (e.g. roof, exterior walls, window) must be made 30 percent more energy efficient, and the envelope must be 15 percent better insulated; • Heating, hot water, ventilation, shading, cooling systems must be upgraded to include energy efficient, renewable technologies (e.g., solar thermal); • Energy sources must reduce climate change impacts and CO2 emissions (e.g. oil, gas should be increasingly replaced by renewable energies).
