EP - to be fair to Andris, most EU energy policy statements do mention / focus upon efficiency. It is just omitted from this blog article - which has focussed on salvation via renewables.
I think that you and I are pretty much in agreement that the way to go is a combination of energy efficiency and use of energy efficient alternatives - which does not include bio fuel. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Hello all.
No need to be fair.
Piebalgs is well aware of passive houses (Passivhaus) and has been for many years. This is the reason that Passive houses are in specifically mentioned as a goal in the important EU documents regarding EPBD- (energy performance og buildings directive).Here you can read a short summary of the process- mentioning the integration og Passive houses ( Passivhaus):

If You google Piebalgs and Passivhaus the first hit is this nice picture, where Piebalgs is updating himself in a conversation with Dr Feist the "father of the Passivhaus" in early 2007 (text in German, I'm sorry)

So don't worry. Piebalgs knows, It is built into the EU strategy already. What is needed is member country compliance to the EU planning...
kind regards/And1
