Situation in member countries• Very lively activities in all countries on regulatory
and professional levels• Regulations revised in 2-3 year intervals
according to a published plan• No time for feedback from previous to next step –
this is considered to be a problem• Published revision will also explain what can be
expected in the next revision (UK, DE, NO)• Extremely wide variety in the contents of
regulations– What is regulated?– How is regulated?– How is controlled?

Status of energy efficiency regulations in some MS (2)
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
How CEN standards are used(41 EPBD related standards)
• In principle, solutions based on CEN standards are accepted in all counties
• But in practice, they are not accepted due to National barriers like
• Language• National input values are needed• Building inspectors
• CEN standards are not directly used as such as part of legislation in any country
• Methods described in CEN standards are adopted in national regulations like calculation of energy use EN 13790, but also EN 15251
• Some parts are taken from standards to regulations in some countries
• CEN standards will be revised – mandate from DG Energy any time during 2010
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
EPBD recastsee also specific ppt-summary
• Content agreements between the Commission, Parliament and Council on Nov 17 2009 during Swedish presidency (essential support)
• More stringent than EPBD 2002 version• More stringent than the original proposal
commissioned in 2008• Not so stringent, and more realistic than the
proposal by the Parliament in April 2009• Final text available in April 16, 2010 in all
languages• Many MS already preparing the legislation to
adopt recast EPBD
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Major changes in EPBD (1)• Reference to CEN standards
• National cost optimised solutionsguidelines under preparation
• Primary energy target values have to be set in kWh/m2
• The 1000m² limit removed from articles dealing with renovation of existing and new building RES etc.
• Regulations for new buildings to apply in major renovations
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Major changes in EPBD (2)• Specific regulations needed also for technical
systems – existing compulsory, new buildings optional
• All new buildings have to be “nearly zero energy buildings” in 2020 - the commission will define this in 2010
• Measures to overcome market barriers are requested
• Stronger and more meaningful position needed for energy certificates
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Major changes in EPBD (3)• From boiler inspections to heating system
inspections
• In A/C inspections more emphasis is put on reducing cooling loads
• Independent controls system for all national inspections
• RES and EuP directives to be taken in account in EPBD regulations
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Are the building codes applied to the renovations?
• All countries apply the new building regulations on renovations but in different ways
• Renovation is defined in different ways ( 25% rule is used but variations in definition)
• Most stringent requirements are
• Germany If more than 15 m² floor area or 10 % of wall area renovated -> all requirements for
renovation apply; if more than 50 m² floor area renovated -> all requirements for new buildings apply
• Denmark DK: if more than 25% thermal envelope renovated-> all cost-effective requirements
are to be fulfilled DK: if more than 25% of the value of the building renovated-> all cost-effective
requirements are to be fulfilled• UK
all regulation for new buildings apply when the cost of renovation is more than 25% of the cost of similar new building construction
Definition of renovation is inconsistent and weak in most countries
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Primary energy factors
• Most of the countries use primary energy in definition of energy efficiency in [kWh/m²,a], in Italy [kWh/m³,a]
• Only UK and RO use CO2 emission per m² as the criteria but even in UK the pressure is towards primary energy
• Primary energy factors vary significantly between countries, however, quite common is to have primary energy factor = 1 for all fuels and 2,5 for electricity
(see detailed table in separate report)
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Which energy flows are controlled?
• All countries include in the regulated energy:• Heating, • Domestic hot water,• Ventilation and infiltration
• Cooling & Air-conditioning is included with some exceptions • Electricity for building HVAC (fans, pumps) is typically included • In FR auxiliary energy includes pumps, fans and humidity control• Electricity for building level lighting is included with some
exceptions • Tenant HVAC energy not included in any country, except NO• Electricity for tenant/occupant lighting is not included, except FR• Electricity for other use- not included in any country• Other use of electricity (outlets, kitchen etc) - not included in any
country
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Renewable energies(see notes section )
• Most countries have a quota for RES to achieve the goals of the RES directive, some examples:
• DE (15 - 50% depending on RES source and building type)
• NO (40%) – calculated from heat demand• SL (min 20-25% up to 70%) decision in June 2010• UK (10%)• IT min 50% of the energy used for DHW
• DK In BR10 there will be demand for thermal solar if DHW consumption exceed more than 20 m³/day
• NL gives credits for the RES use
• At the same time other countries are investigating the issue (BE, HU)
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Reference buildingsReference building approach is commonly used but
in different purposes– In SE an alternative approach only for <100m2 buildings– NO: the alternate way to show the compliance– In DK applied only in renovations– DE: used to calculate EP values
• Reference building is defined in building regulations, and the energy use in design intent cannot be higher
• Almost all countries define for example the U-values for reference building, and maximum U-values ( see the separate tables)
• Technical solutions for reference buildings are country dependent -> national EP values cannot be compared
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Calculation procedure
• Commonly based on simple CEN procedure• Only national methods accepted• Typically several programmes available –
based on same “engine”• Dynamic simulation allowed in some
countries DE, IT, NO, NL – verification needed • Methods revised almost annually to include
new, innovative systems
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
U-values(see also the separate summary of U-values)
• More emphasis on regulations by EP –values (kWh/m2) DK, SE• Target U-values are still given in all countries - some MS give
different U-values for residential and non-residential buildings, and by building type
• Most countries give also the max U-values for compensation calculations
• Average U-value used for houses in DE• Specific, tighter requirements for electrically heated houses (SE)• Allowance to log constructions (NO, FI)• Max total transmission loss in W/m2 is given in some countries (IT,
DK, SL) buildings also depending on wall or heating system type – see notes
• Max specific conductance given in HU in W/m3,K• U-values depend on climate in some countries – IT, ES, FR (also
altitude)• Average U-value depends on V/A ratio only IT) - was also in DE but
not any more • V/A ratio reflected also in the building type
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Air tightness of building envelope• Tight building envelop in necessary in Nearly zero energy
buildings• Almost all countries have now numeric values for building air
tightness with some exceptions (HU, RO)• Both ach and m3/h per m2-evelope area are used• The trend is to tighten the requirements step by step • Most countries specify also the control methods but in practice
poorly controlled
Simple control/measuring methods should be developedIn European level danger of inadequate ventilation –see also the
ventilation slides
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Thermal bridges• Thermal bridge are getting more and more important with
improving thermal envelope of building. The trend in many countries is out of table-value estimation towards more sophisticated methods
• Calculation of the effect of thermal bridges is an underdeveloped area and something should be developed.
• They will be more important in the future with nearly zero energy buildings.
• A problems have been ig the location of window in a thick wall. Flush with exterior wall (best in thermal sense) or interior wall (may be more practical for user)
• Only a few countries include thermal bridges also in cooling load calculations
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Thermal conductivity of insulation materials used when calculating U-values
• The expert group draws the conclusion that this is not an issue and is solved by current standards
• Practical values are used is calculations. They take in the account the moisture, installation etc.
• However, there are cases with composite structures and materials that significantly complicate calculations.
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Summer comfort and air-conditioning• Due to energy use and power demand of A/C this
is an issue in all MS• All countries limit the load qualitatively or
quantitative i.g. 30 W/m² (UK)• In all countries the summer temperatures have to
be calculated, consequences may differ if limits are exceeded: Fictive use of energy for A/C added to EP Re-design of building until criteria are met
• A/C is not as much used in Central European new buildings than in Finland : Natural ventilation and window ventilation are more used
• New DE/VDI guidelines in 2010 will lead to an increase of A/C due to more stringent IAQ requirements
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Windows• All countries limit the U-value of
windows, some have different values for glass and window with frame
• Widow area is typically not limited (No considering)
• Solar protection is required but only some countries give max g-values for windows
• Some countries require openable windows or possibility to window ventilation
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Indoor temperatures• Legally binding temperature limits originate from other
legislation than energy• Design values are rather homogenous among countries• Winter: 19°C -21°C• Summer: 24°C -26°C (except 28°C in UK)• CEN standards 15251 is becoming more and more used
– Adaptive approach is getting accepted and used in evaluation of the thermal performance of buildings in summertime
– Some counties (NO, UK) have adopted the CEN 15251 principles of IAQ classes and number of hours the temperature can be exceeded
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Heat generation• Minimum requirements for the efficiency
of boilers and other heat generators are given in most countries (but not all) and in different ways like: nominal, part load, annual, also reference to CEN standards
• Requirements also given for the boiler type (like condensing) and heat pump COP
• Boiler replacement required but the criteria varies when to be replaced Chimney sweepers has taken this market in many counties with
minimum expertise
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Heating system• Design temperatures are given in general
• Balancing of central system required in most countries
• Central automatic control required
• Room level control required in most countries (DE, DK, UK, FR, SL, SE advised)
• Low pressure loss requirements of hydraulic system: Not at the moment in any country, but under consideration in DE, SL, UK
• Pumps; no requirements in general excepted for DK and DE
• Pump electricity included in the reference building calculations in most countries
• Heat generator and heating load to be balanced and load factor included –requirement only in DE
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Heat metering
• Metering of heating energy use is getting more common in apartment buildings
• Compulsory in Germany: allocation of cost 30-50% fixed, rest by measured use
• Generally 15% reduction in energy use just by metering system
• Electronic remote readable systems more and more used • DK: heat metering is required by law• SL: all radiators has to be metered from 2012• IT: system available but not used –meters destroyed in social
housing• NO, NL: not required, but is used in some apartments• UK: not used
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
DHW water use• DHW is getting more important in the total
energy use of residential building• For energy use estimation the table values are
used either in kWh/m² or kWh/per tenant UK: decentralized 5 and in central system 15 kWh/m²
• None of the countries calculates/estimates the water or energy use based on type of faucets or equipment
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
DHW systems• Temperature requirements 45°C - 60°C,
Boosting once a week UK, DE, NL, HU, FR, SL,DK, BE to 65°C for controlling Legionella
55 °C min requirement in FI, SE (in all parts of the system)
• Circulation of water in central DHW system is not usually required but allowed
• Central Europe uses much more decentralized systems for DHW with gas or electricity, than Scandinavia
• Performance quality of decentralised systems is often low: Long waiting times for hot water Varying hot water temperature Low capacity of the system
• In Central Europe, it is much more common to have faucets only for cold water in comparison with Scandinavian countries
• Heat recovery from sewage water: not required but in NL heatrecovery from shower water is allowed and rewarded in EP calculations
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Insulation of HVAC systems
• Pipe insulation of heating system in most countries but not all, numeric values are given
• More variation in pipe insulation of DHW system Not required: UK, FR, HU,NO, NL Required: DE, IT, SL , FI, DK, SE
• Even more variation and less requirements for insulation storage tanks and valves
• Insulation of valves required in DE, UK, DK, SE (VVS AMA)
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Residential ventilation ratesDefinition of ventilation rates varies widely between countries: In this area Finland is one of the most advanced country
For example:DE: does not have any regulations regarding residential buildings andIT : does not have any ventilation regulations at all, except for
hospitalsSome examples of how ventilation rates are specified:
NO: Min 0,5 air changes and 7 ℓ/s per person in bedrooms SL: Min 0,6 ach during occupied period and 0,2 ach as a basic level 24h/d DK: each habitable room as well as the dwelling as a whole must have
fresh air supply of no less than 0.35 l/s/m². NL: for new buildings : Residential 0.9 l/s/m² usable space, for existing
buildings 0,7 l/s/m² UK: 0,3 l/sm² SE: “necessary OA air flow” but :
• min 0.35 l/s,m2 OA if occupied;• min 0,10 l/s,m2 OA) if not.
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Residential ventilation: System requirements in mechanical supply and exhaust systems
• Heat recovery System level requirements, DE (if used), FIN (45%)
*** low Finnish %-is not understood abroad – the system efficiency is not understood in Central Europe***
Equipment level requirements SL: nom temperature efficiency 65/75% NO: seasonal efficiency 70% all dwellings (or equivalent, as heat recovery not
explicitly required) NL: practice: temp efficiency 90%, DC motor DK: 65% UK: in 2010 regs
• Fan energy Min efficiency requirement given in FR SFP used in DE, SL, FI, NO, FR(reference system)
• Insulation of ducts required in FI, SL, DE, DK
• Air tightness of ducts and system FI, DE, UK,SL, SE, DK,
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Non-residential ventilation ratesAir flow requirements are typically based on occupancy:
FR: min 10 L/s (non smoking or specific pollution) UK: 8 - 10 [L/s.occ] (2006 - 2010)
3, 5, 8 [L/s.occ] (Schools)
SL: 4 [L/s.per] + air pollution based flow (olf/decipol), butMin 0,2 ach in all building from 2003
HU: 4-10 [L/s.occ] NO: 7 [L/s.pers.] + min 0.7 [L/s.m²] for emissions, with minimum
approx 0.7 [L/s.m²] at night etc.
EN 15251 Used but not mandatory in DE, HU, NO and FR
Some remarks Working spaces have more stringent requirements, even schools or teachers,
offices etc DE -SL: no mechanical ventilation in schools IT: Ventilation requirements only for hospitals
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Non-residential ventilation: System requirements in mechanical supply and exhaust systems
• Heat recovery System level requirements (FI) Equipment level requirements (other countries)
Definitions are being developed for i.g.: NO: seasonal efficiency 80% except for hospitals/nursing homes (70%), from 2010
• Fan energy SFP- all countries
• DCV Allowed but no requirements CO2 – based control more often used
• Insulation of ducts required in all countries
• Air tightness of ducts and air handling system required in FI, DE, DK, SE should be also UK, FR (expert opinion) Control by random measurement UK, FR, DE, SE, NO, DK
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Calculation of energy use• Required by building codes - all countries
• Required for building permit - all countries but
calculation can be avoided if building complieswith a prescriptive checklist of measures (ig NO)
• Required for energy certificate in all countries
• For all buildings - all Exempted are the buildings listed in EPBD
The expert group concluded that temporarily occupied buildings should not be excluded
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Energy flows included in the calculation process and calculated separately
• Ventilation, Heating, DHW are included in all countries
• Cooling/air conditioning – typically but break down may differ from country to country
• HVAC Electricity (can be part of those above)• Lighting: FR, DE, DK, NL, NO, UK 2010 (but not in
residential)• Facility/building electricity most of the countries
but not in FR, HU, SL• Household electricity not usually but estimated
in UK, NO• Humidity control – not in any of the countries but
should
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Innovative systems• Innovative system = equipment or system
that may have an excellent energy performance but is not yet in national calc. process
• The purpose of EBPD is not to limit innovations
• But if only the traditional technologies are included in calc. procedure → limitation
• Each MS has to have a procedure how to show the performance of a new system
• Cal procedures has to be revised frequently• …or a process has to be established to
handle new innovations
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Process for innovative systems• Certified bodies are slow and expensive• Accredited institutes can be used• Specific processes and equipment needed• National approvals vs. local approvals• Open register should be established • Danish light system is preferred to heavy
process in Belgium• For reference calculations input values
have to be standardized – hopefully on a pan-European level
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
New/unusual/innovative systems that are not yet included in “official”calculation process (1)
exceptions identified• Night time ventilative cooling –DK, FR• Ground source cooling – DK, FR• Air quality or demand based ventilation - DK • Demand controlled lighting -DK• Ventilation effectiveness• Thermal bridges for cooling season- DK• Double skin facades• Water loop heat pumps for simultaneous heating and cooling• Phase change materials• Aquifer cooling and heating • Evaporative and desiccant cooling• Waste water heat recovery
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Standard operation schedules are not available but are needed for:• Ventilation schedule• In DCV ventilation: the control values for concentrations • Occupancy schedules in various buildings• Window opening pattern• Solar shading, threshold values for radiation and
lighting, requirements for daylight factors• Domestic water use pattern• Use of household and kitchen equipment and their use
including Sauna• Revised weather data for innovative systems like
desiccant cooling

Subsidies (1)(see a specific report how the subsidies an punishments are applied in some countries)
Direct Funding of Energy Repairs as part Governmental action plans From investment Dependent on energy efficiency Controlled afterwards
Direct Subsidies on Sustainable energy technology Heat Pumps, Micro CHP, Thermal solar collectors, PV…
Financial help for low-income households
Personal Tax deduction related to domestic employment of service provider
Lower VAT on labour costs and/or Materials Government adopt lower VAT rates on materials and services in the
(sustainable) energy sector (insulation, heating system, solar thermal system)
Green loans / Soft Loans Banks and/or national organisms grant loans with advantageous interest
rates to finance sustainable energy or energy repairs projects.
Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations
Subsidies (2)Rent Indexation Measures against split incentives
The owner that retrofits and increases the energy efficiency of his estate does often notbenefit from the situation while the renter benefits of a lower energy bill. Therefore, insome countries or regions, the maximum rent an owner is allowed to ask for a housewill be coupled to the energy label.
“Feed-in” Tariffs In some countries, the electricity providing companies buy the energy surplus that
comes from renewable sources with an attractive kWh price. Households or industriesthat “over-produce” energy can inject this surplus
Third Party Financing Third Party financers for energy projects are referred to as “Energy Service
Companies,” or ESCOs. ESCOs are businesses that design, build, install, finance, andmaintain projects designed to provide energy through energy generation and/ orreduced demands.
Intracting intracting involves a city or community that reserves special funds for the energy
improvement of buildings. This fund is spent as a investment and paid back by theenergy savings. This return on investment is then again injected in the next energyefficient renovation.
Taxes on CO2 emissions Such taxes are not incentives but hindrances that influence the behavior of some
industries at a national level as well as a more regional one in some countries.Moreover, the revenues that this taxation brings as well as the revenues from emissiontrading are often re-injected in green energy plans.

Example 1: Punishments and administrative fees - Belgium
Walloon region (Belgium): • Thermal insulation: 60€ per W/K difference between the observed and
the threshold value of thermal conductance with code U-values• Global Energy Performance: 0.24€ per MJ difference between the
observed global energy performance and its legal threshold.• Overheat: 0.48€ per 1000 Khm³ difference.• Ventilation: 4€ per 1m³/h difference from the ventilation equipment
capability.• The fee amount goes from minimum 250€ to maximum 50 000 €• If in the next 3 years following the sanction decision a new infringement
is detected and charged to the same contravening, the fee amount is doubled (but can't reach more than 50.000€)
