Construction of new buildings. EU technical mitigation criteria Comments on potential alignment Mitigation criteria (metric and threshold) 1. The primary energy demand, defining the energy performance of the building resulting from the construction, is at least 10% lower than the threshold set for the nearly zero-energy building (NZEB) requirements in national measures implementing Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. The energy performance is certified using an as built Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). 2. For buildings larger than 5000 m2, upon completion, the building resulting from the construction undergoes testing for air-tightness and thermal integrity, and any deviation in the levels of performance set at the design stage or defects in the building envelope are disclosed to investors and clients. Where robust and traceable quality control processes are in place during the construction process this is acceptable as an alternative to thermal integrity testing. 3. For buildings larger than 5000 m2, the life-cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the building resulting from the construction has been calculated for each stage in the life cycle and is disclosed to investors and clients on demand. Crown’s Framework sets the minimum requirement of outperforming the EPC of NZEBs at 10%. Therefore, the projects financed by the issuance are aligned with the criteria for buildings below 5000m2 EU Taxonomy DNSH criteria Comments on potential alignment Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex No climate risk or vulnerability assessment has been conducted because the climate- related hazards listed in Section II of Appendix A are not directly material to the activity financed under this Framework. Where installed, except for installations in residential building units, the specified water use for the following water appliances are tested by product datasheets, a building certification or an existing product label in the Union, in accordance with the technical specifications laid down in Appendix E to this Annex:
