According to the Federal Environment Agency, Primary Energy Consumption (PEV) encompasses the energy content of all energy carriers used domestically. This includes all forms of energy in their natural state, such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources. PEV is crucial for assessing a country’s energy efficiency and is influenced by economic conditions, new technologies, raw material prices, and weather conditions, which affect heating demand. PEV has been declining since the early 1990s, with a decrease in conventional primary energy carriers (excluding natural gas) and a steady increase in renewable energies. The Energy Efficiency Act 2023 sets a target for PEV to be 39.3 percentbelow 2008 levels by 2030.
Buildings significantly contribute to PEV. Reducing primary energy consumption helps operators lower CO2 emissions, support climate protection, and significantly cut operating costs for commercial properties.
