ECF

ECF fully supports the European Commission’s proposal to give cycling a much stronger role in the recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, published on 15 December 2021. Cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transport and providing easily accessible and secure parking infrastructure is just as critical for its regular use as charging infrastructure is for electric cars. 

Having said this, there is still room for further improvement to the European Commission’s proposal. This document provides suggested amendments to the proposal that would help to ensure more bicycle-friendly buildings with EU Member States and, therefore, more cycling across Europe.
