Climate Action: Energy for a Changing World

This Climate Action from Dec 2008 builds on the many targets the EU set itself in 2007 for 2020 as part of the Energy Policy for the European Union including:

• 20% reduction in greenhouse gases;

• 20% increase in energy efficiency, and

• increasing renewable energy use to 20% of total energy consumption

• 10% share of bio-fuels in transport fuels by 2020

http://www.managenergy.net/products/R1592.htm

Political and Economical Motivation• Environment: Climate change: up to +6.4 Kelvin in 2100 (IPCC)

• Financial and Economic Crisis: EU’s Economic Recovery Plan

• Social & Economic: Recent energy prices and their volatility

• Security & Economy: EU Energy Import Dependency - Forecast:

European Commission - DG TREN Five important energy directives

Building performance – EPBD – 2002 and 2010

Member States to save at least an additional 1% of their final energy consumption each year for the next 9 years

improvement of energy performance of buildings

Energy using products – EuP - 2005Free movement of Energy using products (Art 95)

All aim at protecting the environment and securing energy supply

End use efficiency and energy services -ESD

Co-generation 2004

Renewable energies – December 2008

Increase of co-generation up to 18%

Increase the use of renewables up to 20%, biofuels upto 10%

Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD)

• Adopted in 2002, revision 2010• Deadline for implementation: January 4,

2006 • Extension possible for Art. 7 to 9 until

January 4, 2009• Unsatisfactory progress in a number of MS• A good examples available

7

Recasting of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive• 2007 preparatory work started in DG TREN Unit of energy

efficiency – two experts working full time

• Seminar by invitation in in February 2008 during EUSEW–also REHVA invited

• Public Consultation June 2008 via inernet - 250 responses including REHVA´s

• Revised (recast) version was submitted to EU-parliament and Council in November 2008

• Appointement of rapporteur (EPBD-Mrs Ticau from Romania)

• Committee meetings (EPBD in Industry, Research and Energy Committee) Jan- March 2009

8

Recasting of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

• First time in the Council in Feb 2009• Informal consultations: political groups, comission,

council president• Exchange of views

• 500 amendments proposed in EPBD recast – 93 in the final versions to parliament

• Recast approved in the plenary meeting of the Parliament April 24, 2009

10

Most significant changes in the recasting of EPBD 2002• Omit 1000 m² thresholds within the existing EPBD

• Better use and improved quality of energy performance certificates and follow up

• Requirements on heating and air-conditioning systems, and better inspection procedures

• Minimum energy performance requirements

• National plans towards zero energy buildings

• Strengthening of the leading role of the public sector

• Reporting as part of NEEAP

12

Energy using products directive - EuP

• Directive addresses all member states• Implementing measures address manufacturers • Applied to all energy using products, excluding

vehicles• Sold in important quantities ~ 200.000• Significant environmental impact + potential for

improvement• Life-cycle cost approach used in the analysis to

set the criteria

13

Regulations based on Energy using products directive• Apply without any national approval

to all EU- countries• Apply to all manufactured and

imported products in the common market

• First regulations given in January 2009

• Fans, pumps etc later in 2009

Ecodesign and Labelling : current status (1)

.25 products under preparation

.Implementing Measures that were/will be voted by the regulatory committee before 2Q 2009:

Total estimated savings (347 TWh) = about 10% of gross annual electricity generation in the EU

18

Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources(December 2008)

• electricity, heating and cooling and transport

• a 20% target for the overall share of energy from renewable sources and

• a 10% target for renewable energy in transport

• the proposed directive sets the principles how the use of renewable is defined, for example, the heat pump heating system

19

Increasing the share of renewable energies from 2005 to 2020 (more than 10% from all national primary energy use)

The Netherlands 2.4% -> 14%Finland 28.5 -> 38%Denmark 17.0% -> 30%Germany 5.8% -> 18%Estonia 18.0% -> 25%Ireland 3.1% -> 16%Greece 6.9% -> 18%Spain 8.7% -> 20%France 10.3% -> 23%Italy 5.2% -> 17%

20

Renewable sources defined• Active solar• Hydro• Biomass (boilers or co-generation) with min fuel efficiency

>0.8• Wind• Geothermal• Heat sources of heat pumps (air, water, ground)

Not included in renewables to avoid double counting:

• Improvements in energy efficiency• Passive solar

21

Heat sources of heat pumps

• Heat taken from outdoor air, ground and water considered renewable – minus the electricity used by heat pump

• Only the heat pumps with seasonal COP over app. 3 (depending the structure of electricity generation)

Let’s build better buildings for EuropePresentation of the BUILD UP initiative

Objectives of BUILD UP

• Inform and update public authorities, building professionals and building occupants about the energy legislation for buildings

• Transfer and promote best practices of energy savings measures in buIdings and update public authorities, building professionals and building occupants about the energy legislation for buildings

Build Up is a tool from the commission for the market. Success will be there if the portal is popular!!

• Therefore, important efforts for promotion and marketing are foreseen:

• Media desk• Cooperation with umbrella organisations• Fairs, events,…• Promotion material

• First version will be launched in the end of May

• The portal will be fully functional in June

Tasks of REHVA in BUILD UP

• 1) promotion campaigns to support Certificates and improvements of the efficiency of boilers and air-conditioning systems (from national experience)

2) Collect leading examples of energy efficient public buildings and implementation of EPBD

3) Establish and moderate an internet community energy efficient public buildings

• 4) Events data base5) Links data base6) Promotion of BUILD UP in national and international events 7) Promotion on BUILD UP in international and national journals

ASIEPI background

2003EPBD is

published

2006EPBD should

be implemented

2008-2009EPBD recast

ESD 20-20-20 approved

Currently, there is very little reliable information available

about the relative severity of the requirements levels in the different MS,

about procedures of compliance and control, about effective strategies

ASIEPI



ASIEPI aims to support the Member States in their implementation of the EPBD

Level of requirements in MS control and compliance, thermal bridges, building and duct airtightness, evaluation of innovative systems in EPBD contex, summer comfort and cooling.

ASIEPI support the European Commission for the monitoring of the EPBD implementation and for the ongoing EPBD-recast.

Objectives

1. To develop a concept for inter comparison and benchmarking of EPBD requirements in the Member States

2. To obtain a good overview how compliance and control of legislation is done in the individual Member States with suggestions for improvement

3. To raise awareness about the bottlenecks and possible solutions for: limiting thermal bridges improvement of building airtightness summer comfort and low energy cooling using the EPBD implementation as driving force

for innovation in energy efficient technologies



Expected results of the ASIEPI project

Expected result : increased awareness of the potential problems related to the analysed aspects and of the possible solutions !!!

Tools to achieve this result : a benchmarking method and tool to compare the current

EP-requirement levels in the Member States and able to follow the evolution of the requirements in time
