1 WS 11: CCHVAC REHVA, 24 May 2016, Aalborg nzeb progress including energy efficient HVAC solutions in Central and North Europe Jarek Kurnitski Professor, Vice-president REHVA Tallinn University of Technology Aalto University

2 REHVA nzeb Task Force TF prepared nzeb technical definition and set of system boundaries for primary energy indicator and RER calculation in 2011 in 2013 it was revised in cooperation with CEN, resulting in REHVA Report No:4 Input to EPB Overarching standard pren ISO/DIS :2015 (expected 2016) TF is following nzeb technical, regulatory and policy progress Latest, ongoing analyses on RE contribution and RER indicator based on data from 8 nzeb office and school buildings across the EU

3 Energy flows to be covered by nzeb definition for EP P calculation Primary energy indicator EP P EP P E A P net Edel, i f del, i Eexp, i fexp, i i A net i For thermal and electrical energy it applies: Delivered exported energy = energy use on site renewable

4 EP and RER calculation needs detailed system boundaries System boundaries (SB) for energy need, energy use and delivered and exported energy calculation. The last one may be interpreted as the building site boundary. Demand reduction measures can be distinguished from RE solutions in the energy use SB, not in the delivered/exported energy SB

5 US DOE Site Boundary for ZEB Accounting Launched Sept 15,

6 Screening of energy frames and nzeb in 2013 by REHVA Differences in energy frames: Primary energy not yet used in all countries Some countries (Germany, France) use reference building method, fixed values in other countries Both simulation (Estonia, Finland) and monthly methods (Germany, Denmark) used Inclusion of energy uses depends on country: Germany/residential heating energy only (space heating, DHW and heating of ventilation air) Germany/non-residential cooling and lighting also included (appliances not) Denmark appliances and in residential also lighting not included Sweden appliances and user s lighting not included (facility lighting incl.) Estonia, Finland, Norway appliances and lighting included (all inclusive) RES (on site renewable energy production) is not accounted in all countries or is accounted differently

7 Towards nearly zero energy buildings Indicator Denmark Energy frame 2010 Energy frame 2015 Energy frame 2020 Maximum of primary energy to Primary energy factors Residential buildings (houses, hotels, etc.) Non-residential buildings (offices, schools, institutions and other buildings) /A in kwh/m²a /A in kwh/m²a /A in kwh/m²a /A in kwh/m²a 20 kwh/m²a 25 kwh/m²a Electricity District heating

D (cost opt.) kwh/(m 2 a) kwh/(m 2 a) kwh/(m 2 a) kwh/(m 2 a) Detached houses Apartment buildings Office buildings nzeb and low energy requirements officially given (not yet mandatory) Primary energy factors: Electricity 2.0 Fossil fuels 1.0 District heat 0.9 Renewable fuels 0.75

9 nzeb requirements summary 4/2015 Primary energy and % of minimum EP requirements are used as nzeb EP indicator in most of countries The range of values varies remarkably from positive energy buildings up to 270 kwh/m 2 /y primary energy: from to 20 kwh/m 2 /y to160 kwh/m 2 /y in residential buildings, but usually targets aim at 45 kwh/m 2 /y or 50 kwh/m 2 /y Values from 25 kwh/m 2 /y to 270 kwh/m 2 /y are reported for nonresidential buildings with higher values given for hospitals. Remarkable differences caused mostly due to different energy uses included, but the methodologies/input data have an effect and evidently there are differences in the ambition level nzeb primary energy values show a reduction by factor of 1.6 in Estonia and by 2 in Denmark compared to current EP minimum requirements of office buildings (reduction of 40-50%)
