2 IEA International Energy Agency Autonomous agency of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co operation & Development) Created in1974 Secretariat: 250 Engineers, Economists & Statisticians Steering committees 28 Member Countries Asia Pacific: Japan, South Korea, New Zeeland, Australia North America: US & Canada Europe: UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Finland, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Turkey, Switzerland, Norway & Poland. Recommendations on energy security to IEA Member Countries

3 1. Across sectors IEA 25 Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations 4. Lighting 1.1 Measures for increasing investment in energy efficiency; 1.2 National energy efficiency strategies and goals; 1.3 Compliance, monitoring, enforcement and evaluation of energy efficiency measures; 1.4 Energy efficiency indicators; 1.5 Monitoring and reporting progress with the IEA energy efficiency recommendations themselves. 2. Buildings 2.1 Mandatory Building energy codes and minimum energy performance requirements 2.2 Aiming for net zero energy consumption buildings 2.3 Improving energy efficiency of existing buildings 2.4 Building energy labels and certificates 2.5 Energy performance of buildings components and systems. 3. Appliances 3.1 Mandatory energy performance requirements or labels; 3.2 Low-power modes, including standby power, for electronic and networked equipment; 3.3 Televisions and set-top boxes; 3.4 Energy performance test standards and measurement protocols. 4.1 Best practice lighting and the phase-out of incandescent bulbs; 4.2 Ensuring least-cost lighting in nonresidential buildings and the phase-out of inefficient fuel-based lighting. 5. Transport 5.1 Fuel-efficient tyres; 5.2 Mandatory fuel efficiency standards for light-duty vehicles; 5.3 Fuel economy of heavy-duty vehicles; 5.4 Eco-driving. 6.

Utilities 7.1 Utility end-use energy efficiency schemes.

4 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation 2.1: Mandatory building energy code and minimum performance requirements (MEPs) Governments should require all new buildings, as well as buildings undergoing renovation to features covered by the codes, to meet minimum energy performance requirements (MEPs) that aim to minimise life-cycle costs. These MEPs should be enforced, regularly strengthened and take a holistic approach that includes the building envelope and equipment. Article 3: Adoption of a methodology for calculating the energy performance requirements Article 4: Setting of minimum energy performance requirements Article 5: Calculation of costoptimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements Article 6: New buildings

5 IEA Recommendations

6 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation 2.3: Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings Governments should implement a package of policies to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings, with emphasis on significant improvements to building envelopes and systems during major renovations. Article 7: Existing buildings Article 20: Information Policies should include: An ambitious timeline and renovation rate for cost effective reduction of the energy consumption in existing buildings; Mandatory minimum energy performance requirements for the building as a whole, including key building envelope components and energy-using systems, to be achieved during renovations of existing buildings.

7 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation Policies and measures to aid building owners and occupants to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, such as: Energy audits, energy ratings and certification schemes Incentives to encourage investments in long lasting building envelope and system improvements, and increased market penetration of new high efficiency products; Training and other measures to improve the quality and reliability of building retrofit services; Information on financing options; A strong commitment by governments to improve the efficiency of public sector buildings. Article 14: Inspection of heating systems Article 15: Inspection of airconditioning systems Article 16: Reports on the inspection of heating and airconditioning systems Article 17: Independent experts Article 18: Independent control systems Article 10: Financial incentives and market barriers

8 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation 2.4: Building energy labels or certificates Governments should require building energy performance labels or certificates that provide information to owners, buyers and renters. Article 11: Energy Performance certificates Article 12: Issues of energy performance certificates Article 13: Display of energy performance certificate

9 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation 2.5: Energy performance of building components and systems Governments should establish policies to improve the energy efficiency performance of critical building components, such as windows, and heating, ventilating and cooling systems, in order to improve the energy performance of new and existing buildings. Specifically, governments should implement a package of policies to improve the overall energy performance of windows and other glazed areas.

10 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation Minimum energy performance (overall heat transfer coefficient) requirements for windows and other glazing that minimise lifecycle costs; Article 4: Setting of minimum energy performance requirements Performance-based requirements or guidelines that identify the maximum share of glazed area that is appropriate for specific building types. A requirement for window and glazedproduct manufacturers to provid e performance labelling, based on standard test protocols and certified product testing; Set up a policy package to reduce energy demand of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.

11 IEA Recommendations IEA Recommendation Mandatory minimum energy performance requirements for HVAC equipment and systems that are designed to minimize lifecycle costs; A requirement for HVAC product manufacturers to provide energy efficiency labelling and further energy efficiency information for their products; and Information and training for building designers, owners and others to ensure that HVAC systems are appropriately sized, installed, tested, and maintained so as to maximize building energy performance at least life cycle costs. Promote energy management and control systems to reduce energy consumption and better target energy-saving opportunities. Article 8: Technical building systems
