The EU Energy Performance The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive of Buildings Directive
(EPBD)(EPBD)
Current Scottish progress on implementation
Gavin Peart
EPBD – BackgroundEPBD – Background
• An EU Directive is a set of rules imposed on Member States by the European Parliament
• It applies to all Member States• We can’t avoid implementation in
Scotland• The ‘top line’ of this Directive is
to ‘promote improvement in energy performance’
EPBD – Set in contextEPBD – Set in context
• Review of the Scottish Building Standards System – The Building (Scotland) Act 2003
• Review of Section 6: Energy• Housing Act (Single Survey)• Scottish Housing Quality
Standard (SHQS)
EPBD and new Scottish EPBD and new Scottish SystemSystem
Review of building standards system:
• Started before EPBD negotiations• Implementation timescale • New system essential to EPBD
implementation• New system started on 1 May
2005
EPBD and review of Energy EPBD and review of Energy StdsStds
• Current functional standards & guidance = level transposition
• Drivers for the review• Consultation on proposed Energy
Standards is now underway
EPBD and Housing ActEPBD and Housing Act
• Energy certification in consultation
• ‘Single survey’
EPBD and SHQSEPBD and SHQS
• Commitments for 2015
EPBD – Who does whatEPBD – Who does what
• SBSA – lead for Scotland• ODPM BR Division – lead for E &
W (assisted by DEFRA)• DFP BR Unit – lead for NI• ODPM BR Division - negotiate for
UK
Aims of EPBDAims of EPBD
Reduce energy use in buildingsto:• Meet EU’s Kyoto Protocol commitmentsand at same time:• Perceptibly increase user comfortbut without requiring:• huge additional expenditure
Exemptions:• Buildings that are not cooled or heated
How will EPBD do this?How will EPBD do this?
Member States must:• Adopt a methodology• Set minimum standards for new build• Give consideration to LZC technologies• Use minimum standards for renovations• Require energy performance certificates• Require advice/inspection of boilers &
air-con
MethodologiesMethodologies
They are needed for:• Setting standards (SAP and SBEM)• Generation of energy performance
certificates The types of building:• Domestic (SAP)• Non-domestic (SBEM)
Directive compliant? - Yes
Setting standardsSetting standards
• No level of energy performance specified for MSs to achieve
• Review standards at least every 5 years
• Exempt buildings• Reverse engineering
Directive compliant? - Yes
New buildingsNew buildings
New build must meet minimum standards:• Building regulations & guidance• The building standards systemNew buildings (1000m2) must take LZCenergy generating technologies, etc. intoaccount where feasible• Output of research on SBSA website
Directive compliant? - Yes
Existing buildingsExisting buildings
The EPBD allows 2 options on tacklingrenovations in (1000m2) buildings:• The renovated systems will need to
meet standards, or• The renovated building as a whole
will need to meet standards
First option adopted Directive compliant? - Yes
Next stagesNext stages
• Notify Europe• Consultation
Energy performance Energy performance certificatecertificateThe purpose of an EPC is to provideinformation to owners, tenants and
visitors
Building (Scotland) Act 2003 powers:• Require owners to obtain them
through enforcement notices• Require display in buildings• Penalties for non-compliance • Register?
EPC TimetableEPC Timetable
• Construction• Sale• Rental• Large public buildings
Energy performance Energy performance certificatecertificate
The EPBD requires an EPC:• Construction, sale, rental and
displayed at all times in (1000m2) public buildings
• Consultation• Guidance• Drafting secondary legislation • Certification work
Energy performance Energy performance certificatecertificateMethodologies – not all finalised – but willinclude:
– SAP– SBEM– RDSAP– SERT?– DSM?
Appearance of EPC not finalised – butwill include:
- Numeric indicator of performance (CO2)- Heating type- Energy used- A-G banding- Benchmarks- Cost-effective recommendations
Inspection of boilersInspection of boilers
Two options:a. Inspection and offer advice – but
independent manner of inspections; orb. Offer advice (with possibly some
inspections) – but there are reporting requirements
Second option proposed – SBSA are workingwith EST as a partner organisation
Inspection of boilersInspection of boilers
Partner organisation• Technical advice to users already
drafted• Send out advice – target audience• Use BSR as resource (+ other avenues)• Feedback
Inspection of air-Inspection of air-conditioningconditioningOnly one option:• Inspection and advice done in an
independent manner
• We set a functional standard and use continuing requirement powers in Building (Scotland) Act 2003
• Inspection work
Summary of Summary of implementationimplementation• Have notified Europe about Art.
3,4,5 & 6 and the derogations • Public consultation April/May 2006
(12weeks)• Submit timetable for derogation of
EPCs and boiler/air-con system inspections (Summer 2006)
• Summer 2006 start boiler advice
Summary of Summary of implementationimplementation• Once non-domestic methodology
available, commence roll-out of EPCs for public buildings
• Spring 2007, implement changes to energy standards in Scottish Regs and EPCs for construction
• 2008?, align with Single Survey and EPCs at sale
• Jan 2009, EPCs at rental• 2007/2008 phased air-con system
inspections
