 ===== In principle: What is the EU taxonomy? =====

 The EU taxonomy is a cornerstone of the EU's sustainable finance framework and a market transparency tool. It helps to channel investment into the sectors of the economy that the EU considers most urgently needed for the transition, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal. The taxonomy is a classification system that sets out criteria for economic activities that are consistent with a net-zero profile by 2050 and the broader environmental objectives in addition to climate action.
-The BMUV provides the [[https://www.bmuv.de/faqs/taxonomie-und-die-rechtliche-grundlage| EU taxonomy and the legal basis]] for this as follows: The taxonomy is an EU-wide system for categorising sustainable economic activities. It is intended to provide guidance to investors and incentivise capital for the green transformation of energy production and the economy. The financial system plays a key role in the transition to a low-emission, resource-conserving economy. The European Commission therefore presented initial criteria back in June 2021 to help channel more money into sustainable, climate-friendly activities in the European Union and make environmental performance more visible in company reports. The European Union itself issues a kind of checklist explaining what the taxonomy is and what it is not. An attempt to dispel prejudices on the subject right from the start:

 Together with the Disclosure Regulation (SFRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the taxonomy forms one of the three pillars of the so-called ‘Sustainable Finance Strategy’ and its aim is to inform investors whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable on the basis of common EU-wide criteria. The aforementioned environmental objectives relate to various ecological aspects, which are summarised in six objectives:

 {{:picopen:eu_taxonomy_05.png?130  }}A cosy indoor climate can be achieved with very low energy consumption: To achieve this, the annual heating requirement must not exceed 15 kWh/(m²a) according to the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP). The comfort criteria must be met in every living space in both winter and summer. This results in certain component qualities. The demand for renewable primary energy [[https://passipedia.org/basics/energy_and_ecology/primary_energy_renewable_per?s%5b%5d=renewable&s%5b%5d=primary&s%5b%5d=energy|PER]], according to the PHI method for all household applications (heating, hot water preparation and household electricity) together must not exceed 60 kWh/(m²a). The calculation is also carried out according to PHPP.
 {{:picopen:eu_taxonomy_06.png?130  }}[[https://passipedia.org/certification/enerphit|EnerPHit]]is the established standard for modernising old buildings with passive house components. Despite slightly higher energy requirements, EnerPHit offers almost all the advantages of the passive house standard. The EnerPHit standard can be achieved by complying with the criteria of the building component method or alternatively by complying with the criteria of the energy requirement method. Depending on the utilisation of renewable energies, the EnerPHit classes Classic, Plus or Premium are achieved.
 {{:picopen:eu_taxonomy_07.png?180  }}The PHI energy-saving house standard is suitable for buildings which, for various reasons, cannot fulfil the criteria for the Passive House Classic, but still offer many of its advantages. Here too, for example, a maximum heating requirement of 30 [kWh/(m²a)] must be achieved and other criteria must be met.
