3.1.11 Energy and Climate Protection Concept of the BMVBS
for the Sectors 'Buildings' and 'Transport', 2013
To face the ambitious targets of the government, the 'Federal Ministry of Transport
Building and Urban Development' (BMVBS) has decided, in the framework of its
sectoral responsibility, to develop an own energy and climate protection concept for
the sectors 'transport' and 'buildings'. The concept aims to identify possible
potentials for achieving the energy and climate protection targets. Through an
impact assessment, it is planned to continuously update the concept in order to
adapt to new boundary conditions. It will be based on the Energy Concept of the
government as well as on existing results of the examination of the IEKP (see

3.1.12 Refurbishment Road map, 2013
The Energy Efficiency Directive requires member states to develop refurbishment
road maps that describe the country's vision on a long-term strategy (e.g. until
2050) to renovate their building stocks. The refurbishment road map is currently
being developed by the BMVBS and should help to achieve the long-term targets
of the governmental Energy Concept and of the energy and climate concept of the
BMVBS. The road map is necessary to outline the large emission reduction
