Energy performance of buildings (EPB) Slide 5

Slide 6

Energy producing built environment Slide 6 History 2000 Bldng envelope & components Bldng heating needs 1980 2020 Energy use for heating and cooling Overall building energy performance

Slide 7

Now: Overall energy performance of buildings (EPB) Building and building elements (thermal, solar,..) Ways to express EP (num. indicators, ratings) Overall Energy balance (energy use, own production) Assessment boundaries Heating systems Cooling systems Daylight and lighting (systems) Air flows and ventilation systems Domestic hot water needs and systems Building automation & control Operating conditions Climatic data Energy at District level Renewable energy sources Requires an integrated and modular set of calculation procedures

Slide 8

Since 2009 in ISO ISO/TC 163/WG 4, joint working group of TC 163 and TC 205 Energy Performance of Buildings using the holistic approach Co-convenors: Mr Dick van Dijk (Netherlands) Prof Essam Khalil (Egypt) Building and building elements (thermal, solar,..) Ways to express EP (num. indicators, ratings) Overall Energy balance (energy use, own production) Assessment boundaries Heating systems Cooling systems Daylight and lighting (systems) Air flows and ventilation systems Domestic hot water needs and systems Building automatio n & control Operating conditions Climatic data Energy at District level Renewable energy sources !?! Inspired by European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

Slide 9

Systemic approach Boundary conditions EP Building energy needs and system energy losses Common terms, definitions and symbols Component input data EP expressions EP aggregation Boundaries, classification Collect all energy elements Today: Think pyramid

Slide 10

Why systemic approach? Product performance Performance in building Slide 10

Slide 11

ASHRAE (USA) Possible Future Roadmap Chart is an estimate of possible future regulations to achieve Near Net Zero by 2034 based on studies done by Carrier on technical limits of HVAC equipment Average ASHRAE 90.1 2013 Requirements Component approach reaches limit Need for systems approach

Slide 12

Example: heat recovery unit (ventilation) High performance product: 95% efficiency Applied in building: Duct heat losses? Frost protection? Windows opened? By pass (summer)? Slide 12

Slide 13

Example: heat pump High performance product Applied in building: Sufficient capacity? Heat source temperature? Slide 13 Performance Power

Slide 14

Example: Renewable energy Complex policy issues involved For instance appreciation of: Use of biomass as renewable energy Green electricity produced on site and exported to the grid Use of renewable energy produced at district level . Slide 14

Slide 15

Example: Infrared panel heater Claim: significant energy saving, because.. (for instance) Better room temperature distribution Fast response More comfortable Decreased ventilation heat losses Requires detailed model to evaluate claims Complex standard assumptions (for level playing field) Slide 15

Slide 16

Overall EP requirements in The Netherlands since 1995 Major innovation motor EPB Standards: Regularly updated with new technologies (Inter-)national policies: Regularly tightened minimum EP requirements (Financial) incentives Awareness campaigns Research and innovation: New EPB technologies EP

Slide 17

The Netherlands High performance lighting (offices) Heat pumps High perfomance glazing Heat recovery & Demand controlled ventilation Heat recovery showers Solar hot water systems PV systems Future: ??!! DC fans Combined heat and power Condensing boilers Served as one of the examples for the European Directive Transparent long term national policy

ISO & CEN: Unique international cooperation Slide 18 ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the built environment 2000 2010 2020 CEN/TC 89, Thermal performance of buildings and building components ASHRAE standards ISO/TC 205, Building environment design CEN/TC 371, Project Committee on Energy Performance of Buildings ISO JOINT WORKING GROUP Energy Performance of Buildings using holistic approach (ISO/TC 163/WG 4)

Slide 19

Work in progress Set of EN ISO standards on Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB): ISO 52000 series ISO 52000 ISO 52001 ISO 52003 ISO 52004 ISO 52009 ISO 52010.. ISO 52015 ISO 52016 ISO 52017 ISO 52018 ISO 52019 ISO 52020 ISO 52021 ISO 52022 ISO 52145 ISO 52146 ISO 52147 ISO 52148 ISO 52149 ISO 52150

Slide 20

Conclusions International standards on overall energy performance of buildings A major innovation motor Systemic approach is necessary Challenges: Calculation procedures regarded as complicated Input data from product performance assessment Need to cover wide range of technologies, climates, building types, occupants patterns, policy issues,.. -- Slide 20
