1 LOW-ENERGY BUILDINGS IN EUROPE Standards, criteria and consequences

2 low energy use energy-efficiency sustainable development CO 2 emissions...

3 Low-energy building Passive house Zero energy building...and many more EPBD 2020 all buildings nearly zero energy

5 Katharina Thullner Civ.Ing., Technical University Lund, Sweden Diploma thesis in cooperation with Swegon, Tomelilla Aims existing definitions and regulations in 9 European countries criteria and limit values - 4 subject areas (building envelope, energy, ventilation, follow-up) focus on criteria on ventilation comparison criteria / comfort guideline values consequences on building suitable ventilation systems limited to residential buildings

6 Concept low-energy buildings - example Passive house

18 Limit values Building envelope Energy Follow-up Ventilation

19 Limit values Building envelope U-values windows W/m 2 K U-values outer walls W/m 2 K Air tightness h -1

20 Limit values Energy Varies very much between the different definitions Reasons different calculation methods differently included energy posts energy level (primary energy?)

21 Limit values Follow-up Air tightness (blower-door test) self-documentation Actual energy use (Sweden) Indoor air quality (spot tests, Switzerland)

22 Limit values Ventilation Prescribed ventilation system? Airflow rates Noise levels Efficiency of units

23 Heat exchanger efficiencies η t η WRG η WBG η WRG, t, eff η t 70 % 70 % η WRG

24 Air exchange rates 0,3 h -1 0,7 h -1 0,4-0,5 h -1

29 Conclusions Great number of defined low-energy building types Some definitions more comprehensive some less High heat exchanger efficiencies required Not impossible to meet, but attention on which efficiency (definition) is meant!
