(1) Article 22(1) of Directive (EU) 2024/1275 requires each Member State to set up a national database for the energy performance of buildings which allows the gathering of data on the energy performance of individual buildings and on the overall energy performance of the national building stock. The database is to allow the gathering of data from all relevant sources related to energy performance certificates, inspections, the renovation passport, the smart readiness indicator and the calculated or metered energy consumption of the buildings covered.

(2) Pursuant to Article 22(5) of Directive (EU) 2024/1275, at least once per year, Member States are to ensure the transfer of the information in the national database to the EU Building Stock Observatory. Member States are allowed to transfer the information more frequently.

(3) In order to ensure that the transfer of the information to the EU Building Stock Observatory is complete and carried out in a structured manner, while making the most of digital tools and avoiding an unnecessary administrative burden, the structure, format, technical details and process for that transfer should be set out and reflected in common templates.

(4) In order to ensure consistency with Article 20(8) and Article 22 of Directive (EU) 2024/1275 and Annex V thereto, the information transferred to the EU Building Stock Observatory should include certain elements drawn from energy performance certificates.

(5) In order to ensure consistency with Article 22(2) of Directive (EU) 2024/1275, the information transferred to the EU Building Stock Observatory should include public information on the total number of buildings or building units or total floor area in the national building stock.

(7) In order to ensure consistency with Article 22, Article 12(7), Article 19(6) and Article 20(8) of Directive (EU) 2024/1275 and Annex VIII thereto, Member States should be required to transmit certain information about building renovation passports.

(8) Member States should make the first transfer of information from their national databases for the energy performance of buildings in 2027, covering the period between the transposition deadline of Directive (EU) 2024/1275 on 29 May 2026 and 31 December 2026.

(9) Member States should not transmit to the EU Building Stock Observatory personal data within the meaning of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Prior to transmission of the information, Member States should anonymise any personal data by aggregation at country level.

(10) An interoperability assessment within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2024/903 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) has been conducted in relation to the EU Building Stock Observatory, and the resulting report has been made publicly available on the Interoperable Europe Portal.

(11) The aggregated data collected under this Regulation can be reused for European statistics in line with the principles defined in Regulation (EC) 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).
