European CommissionDirectorate-General for Energy

The EU policy framework for energy efficiency and RES in buildings

2

Broader EU policy framework for sustainable energy

3

The new European Energy Efficiency Plan

bull Adopted on 8 March 2011 (COM 2011 (109) final) will now be discussed by Council and EP

bull Provides strategic framework for EE policy in Europe up to 2020 and beyond

bull To be followed up by legislative proposals eg recast of Energy Services Directive in June 2011

bull Messages include Conditionality on the spending of public funds Innovative financial instruments Energy service companies Increased role of energy companies

4

The new European Energy Efficiency Plan and the building sector

In going beyond the requirements of the EPBD recast it underlines

bull Need for more stringent EE criteria in public spending in buildings

bull Suggests 3 (of floor area) annual refurbishment target for public authorities buildings = doubling of current rate in EU

bull Announces new legislative initiative on energy performance contracting (including contracting in buildings sector) for 2011

bull Highlights need for training of the workforce

5

The 2050 roadmap for low-carbon economy

bull Adopted also on 8 March 2011 (2011 (112) final)

bull 20 reduction in EE = 25 reduction in CO2 by 2020

bull Additional investment euro 270 billion annually 2010-2050 or 15 of GDP on top of current 19

bull Crucial role of building sector Emissions here could be reduced by 90 by 2050

EPBD recast

bull Introduces for the first time cost effectiveness into the development of building codes in the EU ndash as of 2013 all MS have to assess investment and life time running costs (including energy) when setting minimum requirements

rarr Commission will present a regulation on a framework methodology for cost optimal requirements by June 2011

bull Initiates transformation of the building sector towards bdquonearly zero energy buildingsldquo (which includes RES)

12

EPBD recast 201031EU and nearly zero energy policy

bull All new buildings in the EU by 31 December 2020 will have to be nearly zero energy buildings (before that cost optimal requirements)

bull Public authorities have to be nearly zero by 31 December 2018

bull MS have to establish a national definition based on Directive ldquoArt 2(2) ldquoa building that has a very high energy performance (hellip) nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a significant extent by RES including onsite and nearbyrdquo

bull Intermediate targets to be set by 2015 MS to adopt policy plans for nearly zero energy

bull For existing buildings MS shall take measures towards nearly zero energy buildings can also include targets

13 | 13

bull Member States shall recommend the use of renewable energy

sources and district heating (Art 133)

bull Minimum RES levels by 2014 in new buildings and major renovations

bull Exemplary role of public buildings by 2012

bull Current building code 45 kwhm2a gross energy used for heating and hot water cooling and ventilation = 25 reduction compared to 2008 can be fully met with only EE No RES appliance yet needed

bull For the 2015 standard (30 kwhm2a = 50 reduction to 2008) technologies needed are 40 cm insulation triple glazed windows tight building envelope and ventilation with heat recovery and some solar heating This is expected to be cost optimal by 2015

bull Beyond 2015 you have reached the boundaries of the building only and have to go beyond (=RES off-site) (offshore wind etc)

DG ENER opinion on co-funding criteria

bull Now refurbishments to at least national minimum requirements ideally beyond (EE

Plan ldquoEach refurbishment should bring the building up to the level of the best 10 of

the national building stockrdquo)

bull Ideally setting of rules such need to improve existing building stock by at least two

energy label classes (e g from D to B) or similar in countries that do not use A-G labels

bull and as of 9 July 2013 to at least cost optimal levels ideally beyond

bull Public authorities shall endeavour to implement the recommendations given on the

energy performance certificate ndash and lead by example

DG ENER opinion on co-funding criteria ctrsquod

bull EE Plan When public bodies rent or buy existing buildings these should always be in

the best available energy performance class

bull Priority to first reduce energy demand for heating and cooling then only RES (very

often RES benefit from a support scheme anyway and EE can reduce energy bills for

poor peoplehellip)

bull Obligation to have the national energy performance certificate (not private labels only)

bull In the near future EUrsquos upcoming voluntary EU wide certification scheme and the future

Eco-label for office buildings can be used

Costs of energy efficiency

230 kwhmsup2a for heating

175 kwhmsup2 a for heating

New built Additional upfront investment costs of 3- 10 but payback time of a few years due to substantial savings

Existing buildings bull On average 200-250 euros additional EE costsmsup2 for an extensive renovation

ie circa 25000 Euros per house if an average existing building is brought down to 50 kwhmsup2a overall energy use

bull refurbishments can be cost effective over 10-20 years for up to circa 60 savings in existing buildings only beyond this the marginal costs increase steaply for the last kwhmsup2a savings

bull Payback time increases significantly (ca 50 years and beyond) if the energy efficiency improvements are not coupled to an anyhow renovation

bull Example from DENA (German energy agency)Basic energy efficiency refurbishment package applied to non refrubsihed 70ies building comprising cellar slab loft insulation insulation of waterpipes energy monitoring appliances and regular inspection cost 3000 Euro energy savings per year of 710 Euros rarrpayback period of less than five years

The new European Energy Efficiency Plan and the building sector

In going beyond the requirements of the EPBD recast it underlines

bull Need for more stringent EE criteria in public spending in buildings

bull Suggests 3 (of floor area) annual refurbishment target for public authorities buildings = doubling of current rate in EU

bull Announces new legislative initiative on energy performance contracting (including contracting in buildings sector) for 2011

bull Highlights need for training of the workforce

5

The 2050 roadmap for low-carbon economy

bull Adopted also on 8 March 2011 (2011 (112) final)

bull 20 reduction in EE = 25 reduction in CO2 by 2020

bull Additional investment euro 270 billion annually 2010-2050 or 15 of GDP on top of current 19

bull Crucial role of building sector Emissions here could be reduced by 90 by 2050

Costs of energy efficiency

230 kwhmsup2a for heating

175 kwhmsup2 a for heating

New built Additional upfront investment costs of 3- 10 but payback time of a few years due to substantial savings

Existing buildings bull On average 200-250 euros additional EE costsmsup2 for an extensive renovation

ie circa 25000 Euros per house if an average existing building is brought down to 50 kwhmsup2a overall energy use

bull refurbishments can be cost effective over 10-20 years for up to circa 60 savings in existing buildings only beyond this the marginal costs increase steaply for the last kwhmsup2a savings

bull Payback time increases significantly (ca 50 years and beyond) if the energy efficiency improvements are not coupled to an anyhow renovation

bull Example from DENA (German energy agency)Basic energy efficiency refurbishment package applied to non refrubsihed 70ies building comprising cellar slab loft insulation insulation of waterpipes energy monitoring appliances and regular inspection cost 3000 Euro energy savings per year of 710 Euros rarrpayback period of less than five years
