• Concerted Action supporting EPBD (Erhorn & Erhorn-Kluttig, 2011). - Identifies 23 different terms in use to describe energy-efficient buildings

across Europe (according to EPBD, 2010)

- Notes that Passive House voluntary standard is probably the best-defined and -accepted in various countries and regions

• nZEB Principles for nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (BPIE,2011) - proposed further thresholds for primary delivered energy, renewable energy

share and CO2 emissions

• REHVA Task Force on nZEB (REHVA, 2011) - Defines nZEB through the net zero energy building, which is a building

using 0 kWh/(m²a) primary energy under national cost-optimal conditions

• IEA Task 40 Annex 52 (http://task40.iea-shc.org/) - Introduces a better understanding of Net Zero Energy Buildings (source

book, verification tool and data sets)


A variety of nZEB terms is already being used

• Energy Efficiency Directive (EED, 2012) - Article 4 requires member states to establish a long-term strategy

for the renovation of the building stock.

- Defines the need for cost-effective deep renovation.

- Introduces ‘deep renovations’ as ‘refurbishments that reduce both the delivered and the final energy consumption of a building by a significant percentage compared with the pre-renovation levels leading to a very high energy performance’

• Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN, 2013) - Noted worldwide various existing terms regarding deep renovation,

such as Deep (Energy) Renovation, Deep (Energy) Retrofit, Deep (Energy) Reduction, Zero Carbon/Energy Renovation, Factor 2,4,6,10 Renovation..

- Concluded that a ‘window of possibility’ exists for defining a ‘deep renovation’.

- Proposed a common definition for deep renovation:


Only few references aim to define nZEB for renovation

• The energy performance after renovation fulfils the nZEB requirements for new buildings as they are defined at level of the EU MS and regions or/and

• The primary energy consumption after renovation is reduced by 75% as comparing to the pre-renovation status or/and

• Potentially additional: – Limit primary energy consumption for heating/cooling, domestic hot

water, ventilation energy consumption of auxiliary building’s systems (e.g. ≤ 50-60kWh/m2/yr (GBPN, 2013))

– Define renewable energy share (e.g. at least 50% of the remaining energy demand)

– Define minimum CO2 requirement (e.g. ≤ 3kg CO2/m2/yr suggested in (BPIE, 2011) based on the needs to meet the sectoral long-term decarbonisation goals)


Potential definition of deep renovation of a house (GBPN, 2013)

E.g. Netherlands: “Nationaal Plan Bijna Energieneutrale Gebouwen (BENG)” (October 2012)

• ‘Energy neutral’ buildings are defined as: EPC=0 according to NEN 7120 - Calculates net energy use on a yearly basis applying standard

useage and climat

- Energy use inside the building, energy production inside or outside the building

- 2015: EPC from 0,6 to 0,4; obligation from the end of 2020

• For deep renovations that follow the Dutch Building Decree ‘Nearly energy neutral' means ‘in the neighborhood of EPC = 0’


Legal nZEB definitions have mainly been developed for newly-built constructions

E.g. Brussels Capital Region: the Energy Performance of Buildings Ordinance (MB, 2011) requires

from January 2015 onwards for residential buildings:

- a primary energy consumption for heating, domestic hot water and auxiliary energy below or

equal to 45 kWh per m² per year;

- a net space heating need below or equal to 15 kWh per m² per year;

- ..

• Major renovations: the renovation activities cover at least 75% of the heat loss surface area and

the HVAC system.

- all limits for requirements are multiplied with a factor 1.2 (except for indoor temperature overrun)

• Small renovations:

- requirements on thermal insulation (U-values and risk assessment of thermal bridges) and ventilation.

• Allternative solutions possible taking account of specific urban characteristics such as a poor

compactness and/or less solar gains, requiring thermal insulation (U-) values of the building skin:

- average U-value 0.85 W/m²K for transparent parts;

- average U-value 0.12 W/m²K for non-transparent parts


Only a few countries already have a legal framework for nZEB renovation

• Energy labels/ energy performance certificates (NL) – usually only for homes that are being sold or rented (including

relatively new homes)

- not clear if and how a house was renovated

- not clear which range can be defined as nZEB


Energy label systems exist but nZEB renovations can not easily be detected

• nZEB renovations already exist with voluntary ‘quality assurance’ - Passive house certified projects

- Awards (e.g. Nationale Renovatieprijs/ Klus je Rijk/..)

• Large-scale nZEB experiments are ongoing in various countries - Lokaal Alle Lichten op Groen

- Blok voor Blok

• nZEB homeowner web communities exist - www.nzebopendoorsdays.eu

- www.huisvolenergie.nl

• Integrated nZEB renovation concepts are promoted - www.one-stop-shop.org

- www.ikhebeenidee.nu


The nZEB renovation market runs ahead of policy development

Existing nZEB renovations

nZEB working definition needed leading to a sufficient but limited number of actors

• Include a broad range (applicable for all countries): - Adopted future requirements for new or existing buildings

- Passive House

- Energy Performance Certificates

- Governmental support schemes (e.g. Energiesprong)

- Combination of measures from a predefined list

- Existing projects or lists where relevant market actors can be identified

- Other existing databases with exemplary renovation

• Define four nZEB levels in each country - Depending on the number of projects in each country

- Depending on the legal and market situation in each country

- General rule: the closer to zero energy, the better

1. Highest performance level, e.g. Energy

class A++ on EPC, NZEB, countries nZEB 2020 definitions including significant renewable energy generation onsite or nearby

Countries’ nZEB 2015 definitions

4. walls, floors and roofs renovated at very high U-values + correct ventilation

3. National Databases: energy class A or B renovations and ≤ 90-100 kWh/m2/yr

2. Buildings with additional quality assurance test included, e.g. passive house

Discussion nZEB radar A framework for tracking nZEB home renovations


The Dutch nZEB radar A tool for tracking nZEB home renovations in the Netherlands

1. EPC 0; alternatively energy bill 0 (frontrunner renovations included in “Lokaal Alle Lichten Op Groen”)

Renovation to EPC ≤0,4 (new buildings requirement in 2015) or label A+

4. Min. label A; alternatively max. space heating; alternatively at least 3 thermal insulation measures + controlled ventilation

3. Frontrunner renovations included in “Huis Vol Energie” or ”Blok voor Blok”

2. Min. label A++, alternatively: Passive House certificate

• Conclusion - Most national action plans in the framework of the EPBD

development did not sufficiently address the definition of an

nZEB renovation

- A national legal definition for nZEB renovation is currently

missing

- The market runs ahead with various initiatives

- The proposed Dutch nZEB radar will be used for tracking

renovations and listing actors in a public list
