Energy Performance:
Energy Performance:
The amount of energy actually consumed or estimated to meet different needs associated with at standardised use of the building, which may include, inter alia, heating, hot water heating, cooling, ventilation and lightning.

Will the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive make a difference ?
??? Yes !
– but it depends on the member states !– and you !

CONCERTED ACTIONS CONCERTED ACTIONS After 1-year of preparations, we started these actions in a 2 days
workshop in Rome on the 25th and 26th of January 2005
85 persons participated in Rome representing 24 countries, the Commission, and CEN standardisation.
Since then 3 workshops and participation is growing
From each country 3 specialists are appointed to participate in the different themes covered by the Concerted Action
Members typical from Ministries or National Energy Agencies
Major task for CA is to share information and experiences and to develop common solutions and to convergence in the countries
8 workshops are planed all in all

OVERALL OBJECTIVESOVERALL OBJECTIVES
To enhance and structure the sharing of information and experiences from national implementation.
To promote good practice concepts in activities required of Member States for implementation of the EPB Directive.
To create favourable conditions for an accelerated degree of convergence of National procedures in EPBD related matters.
To complement the work of the Energy Demand Committee (Article 14 of the EPBD) and its ad-hoc group on CEN standards and Certification.

New Rules in Denmark New Calculation Method Energy Performance in
Buildings - (SBi)
– finalised in October 2005
– computer programmes December 2005 New Buildings Code - (EBST)
– sent out in June 2005 New Act on Promotion of Energy Savings in Buildings
– presented in Parliament 30th of March 2005
– approved unanimous in parliament June 2005
All in Act since 1 January 2006 (1 April - August)
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Energy Regulation for New Buildings New Danish rules from January 2006
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
New Building Regulations in Dk
Use Energy Performance Reduce energy demand with 25 - 30 % (5,5 l. pr. m²) Introduce:
– low energy class 2=> 75 % (4,0 l. pr. m²)
– low energy class 1=> 50 % (2,5 l. pr. m²) Demands for components too Demands for all major rebuilding / improvements:
– both large and small buildings New demands for calculation and permits
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Three different requirements Thermal values and values for efficiency components
Energy frame building (better insulation etc.)
Energy Performance
Use of solar energy and efficient systems or improved insulation
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Low Energy Classes new Buildings
Energy performance New Buildings: 70 + 2200 / A (kWh/m2 year)
Low energy class 2
Low energy class 1
Use of solar energy and efficient systems is needed !

Energy Certification of Buildings New Danish rules from January 2006
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Energy Certification of Buildings New certification schemes in Denmark from 2006:
Based on user, not size of Buildings ! One-Family Houses:
– many each year
– keep it simple
Multifamily Houses:
– whole building incl. typical flats
Public Buildings – Trade & Services:
– different buildings and use
– can be very complicated
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Energy Labelling of buildings
Energy Labelling of buildings by construction, sale andrenting and regular for large buildings and all public
buildings
Will be valid for 5 years Focus on renovation of building or building parts Focus on extra costs by exchange (windows, boilers) More focus on heating systems and renewable energy Focus on longer term, not just after buy/take-over
Implementation of savings and supporting activities

JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Energy Certification - New Buildings
New Building Regulation in January 2006 (April): Energy certification just after construction
– Control based on Building Codes, pipe insulation etc. Focus on low energy houses or “passive houses” No real investments possible in new houses Help for buyer or renter of new house Will be a part of building authority approval for use
– Enforcement of regulation
– Control => competition on same conditions (no cheat !)

Energy Efficiency Action Plan from June 2005
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Energy Efficiency Action Plan
The EPBD implementation in Denmark is a part of a national action plan for energy efficiency:
Agreed by a very large majority in parliament Took the implementation of EPBD further
– 5 years, small buildings, regular inspection etc. Mandatory to implement savings in public sector National targets for yearly savings
– Proved new energy savings ! Enlarged savings by the supply companies Collaboration between all major actors
– Industry, supply companies, installers, NGO’s
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
JHL / Jens H Laustsen – April 2006 Les Hippocampes
Recommendation
Energy efficiency pays by the end of the day The potential is enormous Energy efficiency:
– Saves money for the owners
– Create jobs
– Secure the supply
– Helps the environment The EPBD is only a minimum
– You can go much further !
