There are gaps that must be addressed to enabledeep renovation of buildings

Project Introduction – Overall goal

The ENERFUND tool will rate and score deep renovation opportunities – like a creditscore used by banks to rate clients.

The tool will include parameters such as:

•BER/ DEC data

•number of certified installers, government grant schemes etc.

By providing a rating tool for deep renovation opportunities – both private and publicbuildings –

• funding institutes can provide targeted loans,

• retrofit companies can identify sound opportunities,

• municipalities can promote targeted incentives and the

• public's trust for retrofitting will be enhanced.

ENERFUND will focus on retrofit of apartment buildings, commercial buildings and public buildings

Now at the Consultation Stage for design of the ENERFUND tool

• Questionnaires in all 12 countries to:• Energy Suppliers / Energy Service Companies• Banks, investment companies• Property Managers

• What information/ datasets would you recommend usto include in ENERFUND tool? – to drive more retrofitactivity and more financial investment

• We hope you can inspire us with your ideas!

ROAD MAP FOR ANENERGY EFFICIENT (EE) MORTGAGE INITIATIVE

Dublin

24 November 2016

WHY A PAN-EUROPEAN APPROACH?

Buildings are responsible for 40% of EU energy consumption

Buildings are responsible for 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU

75-90% of EU building stock is predicted to remain standing in

2050

Improving EE of buildings could reduce EU energy consumption

by 5%-6% and CO2 emissions by 5%

EU has set itself an overall 20% energy savings target by 2020

and is now considering increasing this to a 30% target by 2030

Scale of investment needed to meet the 2020 target is estimated

at €100 billion per year – European Commission has underlined

need for private investment

33

OBJECTIVE & UNDERLYING BUSINESSES CASE

Increased loss

mitigation capacity

Enhanced LTV via green value

Lower probability of default

Reduced capital charges

The ultimate objective is a pan-European private bank financingmechanism, based on a standardised approach, to encourage energyefficient improvement by households of the EU’s housing stock by wayof financial incentives linked to the mortgage, and in this way supportthe EU in meeting its energy savings targets.

Underlying business case

Independent from, but complementary to, public funds or tax incentives

UNDERLYING MARKET CHARACTERISTICS IMPACTED BY EE

Retrofitting impacts positively on property value ensuring wealth conservation & loss mitigationby preventing “brown discount”

EE leads to a reduction in the impact ofenergy costs to income, reducing borrowers‘probability of default

36

UNDERLYING INCENTIVE CHAINBorrowers: Preferential interest rate and/or addition retrofitting funds Increased property value due to retrofitting, ensuring wealth conservation Lower running costs of the building

Lenders: Energy savings result in a lower PD due to increased disposable income Increased risk mitigation capacity as increase in property value reduces LGD Lower capital requirements for energy efficient mortgages Protection of loan portfolio against brown discount

Investors: Response to increasing investor demand for investments with sustainable aspect Diversification of investor portfolio & protection against brown discount Incentivises segregation of existing green assets Increased risk management in terms of credit, asset & performance risk

SMEs: Additional funds provide a flow of capital into the real economy Supports SMEs activity in the retrofitting sector

37

FURTHER ASPECTS Valuation Profession: EE is strong potential value driver & risk factor and integration of EE in valuations &

credit risk assessment could transform current lending practices Whilst conventional market-based valuation methods are fit to account for EE

features in valuations, there is limited quality rental & sales evidence to allow valuersto accurately determine incremental value impact

Initiative could be help to overcome this by building up evidence base and explicitly instructing banks and valuers to request, collect & make use of additional data

Consumer Behaviour: Initiative can also influence consumer behaviour by encouraging good energy

behaviour, thus reducing energy consumption (energy bills) Academic literature demonstrates potential for energy savings of up to 20% via

targeted behaviour

Better Risk Management: Lower Credit Risk: Due to reduced PD and LGD Lower Asset Risk: Due to “green value” and protection against “brown discount” Lower Performance Risk: Due to robust assessment of EE improvement ensuring

lower energy consumption and ”green value”

38

METHODOLOGY - FINANCING MECHANISM Key challenge: to incentivise energy efficient investment in existing dwellings, which

constitute bulk of EU housing stock

Based on a set of EE indicators, lenders could offer: New Builds: Discount in interest rate for new builds with energy rating A+/A or B; Existing property: Discount in interest rate according to improvement in energy

rating of property between D and A/A+

METHODOLOGY - ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDICATORS

EU standard: Delta in Energy Performance

Certification

Consumption Indicator: Delta in

Energy Bill/OccupantsDemand Indicator*

*One possibility: The EE Directive (2012/27/EU ) foresees an ‘energy performance contracting’ which is a contractual arrangement between the beneficiary and the provider of an EE improvement measure, verified and monitored during the whole term of the contract, where investments (work, supply or service) in that measure are paid for in relation to a contractually agreed level of EE improvement or other agreed energy performance criterion, such as financial savings.

Three pillar approach to certification of actual energy performance:

The metrics and value will bring the mortgage industry in-line with the EU on energy

40

IT Data warehouse Platform

• Mortgage data line by line

• EE data levels unit by unit

• Funding instruments adopted

• Enhance asset liabilities management

• Increase market transparency

METHODOLOGY - DATA WAREHOUSE

At the heart of Initiative is a comprehensive “dataset” on actual financial performance of existing mortgages according to their energy rating.

Data gathered will be processed and analysed in order to understand the impact of EE on borrowers’ PD and on LGD.

Results of the analysis will be made available to the public free of charge. Longer-term intention is to compile this extensive dataset in a common &

central “data warehouse” to clearly register and record link between property, energy rating & loan performance, so that these assets can be identified for “green” funding purposes, for example.

Energy Efficient passport for buildings

• For building owners

• Recognised throughout the EU

• Value and clarity of the improvements installed in the building

• Non-performing loans mitigation

• Improving market transparency

METHODOLOGY – BUILDING ENERGY PASSPORT

An EE building passport could propose a tailor-made, ready to implement actionplan to the building owner, based on an affordable audit

It could include tailor-made improvement recommendations and therefore actas an important communication instrument for EE mortgage product itself

It would be meant as a holistic tool covering all aspects of buildings It would accompany the building over its life time The passport would ensure that energy improvement considerations are well

integrated each time works are undertaken in a building Having a passport would be a prerequisite to obtain an energy efficient

mortgage
