In particular, as far as district heat and hot water metering and billing is concerned, Article 9(3) of the EED provides that "Member States may introduce transparent rules on the allocation of the cost of thermal or hot water consumption in multi-apartment buildings" but this is not an obligation.
Kar zadeva merjenje in obračunavanje daljinskega ogrevanja in tople vode, člen 9(3) EED določa, da „lahko države članice [...] uvedejo pregledna pravila o delitvi stroškov porabe toplote ali tople vode v takšnih stavbah“, vendar pa to ni določeno kot obveznost.
