1. The renovation passport shall include:

(a) information on the current energy performance of the building;

(b) a graphical representation or graphical representations of the roadmap and its steps for a staged deep renovation;

(c) information on relevant national requirements such as minimum energy performance requirements for buildings, minimum energy performance standards and rules in the Member State on the phasing out of fossil-fuel used in buildings for heating and cooling, including application dates;

(d) a succinct explanation on the optimal sequencing of steps;

(e) information about each step, including:

(i) the name and description of the renovation measures for the step, including relevant options for the technologies, techniques and materials to be used;

(ii) the estimated energy savings in primary and final energy consumption, in kWh and in percentage improvement compared to the energy consumption prior to the step;

(iii) the estimated reduction of operational greenhouse gas emissions;

(iv) the estimated savings on the energy bill, clearly indicating the assumptions on energy costs used for the calculation;

(v) the estimated energy performance class of the energy performance certificate to be achieved following completion of the step;

(f) information about a potential connection to an efficient district heating and cooling system;

(g) the share of individual or collective generation and self-consumption of renewable energy estimated to be achieved after the renovation;

(h) general information on available options for improving construction products’ circularity and for reducing their whole-life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions, as well as wider benefits related to health and comfort, indoor environmental quality and the improved adaptive capacity of the building to climate change;

(i) information on available funding and links to the relevant web pages indicating the sources of such funding;

(j) information on technical advice and advisory services, including contact details and links to the web pages of one-stop shops.

2. The renovation passport may include:

(a) an indicative timing of the steps;

(b) for each step:

(i) a detailed description of the technologies, techniques and materials to be used, their advantages, disadvantages and costs;

(ii) how the energy performance of the building would compare to minimum energy performance requirements for buildings undergoing major renovation, nearly zero-energy building and zero-emission building requirements after completion of the step and how the energy performance of the building elements replaced would compare to minimum energy performance requirements for single building elements, where these exist;

(iii) the estimated costs for carrying out the step;

(iv) the estimated payback period for the step, with and without any available financial support;

(v) the estimated time needed to carry out the step;

(vi) where available, the reference values on the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for the materials and equipment and links to the relevant web pages where they can be found;

(vii) the estimated lifetime of measures and the estimated maintenance costs;

(c) independent modules on:

(i) the typical trades necessary or recommended for carrying out energy renovations (architects, advisors, contractors, suppliers and installer, etc.) or links to the relevant web pages;

(ii) a list of relevant architects, advisors, contractors, suppliers or installers in the area, that may include only those fulfilling certain conditions such as matching higher qualification or certification labels or conditions, or links to the relevant web pages;

(iii) the technical conditions needed for an optimal roll-out of low temperature heating;

(iv) how the renovation steps and additional measures could improve the smart readiness of a building;

(v) technical and safety requirements for materials and works;

(vi) the underlying assumptions behind the calculations provided or links to the relevant web page where they can be found;

(d) information on how to access a digital version of the renovation passport;

(e) any major renovations made to the building or building unit, as referred to in Article 8(1), and any retrofitting or replacement of a building element that forms part of the building envelope and which has a significant impact on the energy performance of the building envelope, as referred to in Article 8(2), where such information is made available to the expert carrying out the renovation passport;

(f) information related to seismic safety, where such information relevant to the building is made available to the expert;

(g) upon request of and on the basis of information made available by the current building owner, an attachment containing additional information, such as the adaptability of spaces to evolving needs and any planned renovations.

3. Regarding the status of the building prior to the renovation steps, the renovation passport shall consider, to the extent possible, information contained in the energy performance certificate.

4. Each metric used for estimating the impact of steps shall be based on a set of standard conditions.
