Housing/Building Standards Section,
DHPCLG
Outline
• Overview of Part L Dwellings
• Implementing the Energy Performance of Buildings
Directive and NZEB
• Part L Buildings other than Dwellings
• Next Steps
• Member states to ensure that all new buildings are “Nearly Zero Energy
Buildings” by 31st Dec 2020
• Member states to ensure that all new buildings owned and occupied by
Public Authorities are `Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’ after 31st Dec 2018
• Major Renovations to be at Cost Optimal Level in Building Codes .
Recommendations on NZEB issued by Commission in July 2016
• Member states should take account of “the period of validity of building
permits, the length of construction and completion of building works” to
avoid falling short of the NZEB target dates in the EPBD.
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
and NZEB
EPBD Definition- Nearly Zero
Energy Building
‘nearly zero-energy building’ means a building that has a very high energy performance, as determined in accordance with Annex I. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby;
RTE PV Array
Implementation of EPBD-Buildings other than Dwellings • TGD L Buildings other than Dwellings is
currently under review to provide detailed
NZEB guidance and include Major
Renovations performance requirement:
– Public Consultation –Start March 24th
2017 –Finish Friday 26th May
– Final Publication-Oct 2017
– Application- planned for early 2019
– NEAP to be revised in parallel
• NZEB Interim Specification for Public
buildings owned and occupied by Public
Authorities issued 23rd Dec 2016 for
buildings commencing design in early
2017
• Consultation with Stakeholders: – OPW,DES,HSE,SEAI, Construction Industry
Council (RIAI,SCS,EI,ACEI,CIF),CIBSE,

Note: The heat loss from non-firing boiler
modules should be limited by design or
application. For boilers that do not have low

For gas-fired boilers and multi-stage oil-fired
boilers, fully modulating boiler controls
1.4.2.4 For buildings with a heat demand of more than 100kW a full building management system should be installed to control the boiler(s). A full BMS linked to the heating plant will provide sequential controls of multiple boilers, full zoned time control and weather compensation where applicable, frost protection or night set-back optimization and monitoring and targeting.
Controls –air conditioning 1.4.3.15 A minimum controls package should be provided as in Table 7. Where the floor area to be air conditioned is greater than 200m2 a Building Management System should be installed which provides centralized control for air conditioning systems. In larger or more complex buildings, the guidance contained in CIBSE Guide H: Building Control Systems may also be followed.

Commissioning/Handover Par 1.5.5 Commissioning
The key elements of a commissioning plan, identifying the systems that need to be tested
and the tests that will be carried out and should be developed at the design stage. The
BSRIA Job Book A project framework for engineering services BG1/2009 provides further
useful information on Commissioning of Buildings other than Dwellings.
Airtightness testing
1.5.4.2, air pressure testing should be carried on all development sites, as outlined in
paragraphs 1.5.4.3 to 1.5.4.6 to show attainment of backstop value of 5 m3/hr/m2. The
tests should be carried out by a person certified by an independent third party to carry out
this work, e.g. National Standards Authority of Ireland certified or equivalent. The test
report should contain at least the information specified in Section 7 of I.S. EN ISO 9972:
2015.
Ductwork leakage testing
1.5.6.1 Ductwork leakage testing should be carried out on Class C and Class D ductwork
where required by and in accordance with the procedures set out in B&ES DW/143 and
B&ES DW/144 on systems served by fans with a design flow greater than 1m3/s.
Handover
Par 1.6.1 The owner of the building should be provided with sufficient
information about the building, the fixed building services and their
maintenance requirements so that the building can be operated in such a
manner as to use no more fuel and energy than is reasonable in the
circumstances.
TGD L-Draft Major Renovation
proposal • Define as “more than 25% of the surface area of the
building envelope undergoes renovation”
• Provide menu of measures to bring to cost optimal when
more than 25% of surface area being renovated:
– Upgrade inefficient heating systems
– Upgrade inefficient cooling systems
– Upgrade inefficient lighting systems
TGD L Major Renovations Par 2.3.2 When calculating the proportion of surface area undergoing renovation the area of the
whole building external envelope should be taken into account including i.e. external walls, roofs,
floors, windows, doors , and roof windows and lights
Works to the surface area of the building include the following:
• Cladding the external surface of the element
• Drylining the internal surface of an element
• Replacing windows
• Stripping down the element to expose the basic structural components (brickwork/blockwork,
timberframe steelframe, joists, rafters etc.) and then rebuilding to achieve all the necessary
performance requirements. Painting, replastering or rendering are not considered a major
renovation for this part of the regulation.
Par 2.3.4 The following improvements are normally considered to be cost optimal and will typically
be economically feasible when more than 25% of the surface area of a building is being upgraded
• Upgrading heating systems more than 15 years old and with an efficiency of less than that
shown in in table 10
• Upgrading cooling and ventilation systems more than 15 years old and a cooling unit Energy
Efficiency Ration less than that in Table 14 and/or Specific Fan Power greater than that in Table
12 and by the provision of new plant and
• Upgrading general lighting systems that have an average lamp efficacy of less than 40 lamp-
lumens per circuit-watt and that serves greater than 100m2 to the guidance in section 2.2.7.

Efficiency House Plus with E-mobility in Berlin
Project aim: This pilot building generates its own energy and makes it available to the users and the electric vehicles. Excess energy is fed back into the grid or stored in a battery. An annual positive energy balance is required for primary and final energy use.
Building address: Fasanenstraße 87a, 10623 Berlin
Building type: Residential Non-residential Public New Renovated
X X
Single-family house with 2 floors
Building size: 203 m² useful floor area (AN, with AN=0.32*Vgross), 138 m² living area
Building envelope construction:
The floor, the walls and the roof are made of timber panels filled with up to 52 cm cellulose insulation. The windows have triple glazing. Thermal bridges have been minimised. Photovoltaic modules cover the roof and the façade. All house elements can be separated and moved to another location or be disposed of after the lifetime of the building.
Building envelope U-values:
Wall 0.11 W/m²K
Window 0.70 W/m²K
Roof/ceiling to the attic 0.11 W/m²K
Cellar ceiling/ground slab 0.11 W/m²K Building service systems:
The house is heated by a central heating system with an air-to-water heat pump and floor heating. A balanced mechanical ventilation system with 80 % heat recovery and a building energy management system with touch pads are installed. The PV systems on the roof and facades generate electricity that is used by the building, fed into the grid or stored in a battery. The battery, with a capacity of 40 kWh, is made of 7,250 single second-hand battery cells formerly used in electric cars.
