4 Framework Political targets and strategies EU strategy: until % renewable energy shares Heat pumps are renewable 20% energy efficiency New buildings shall reach Nearly Zero by % reduced CO 2 -emissions Heat pumps in Nearly Zero Buildings are an economical way to cut CO 2 emissions USA (DOE) /Canada source: Dieryckx All new residential (commercial) buildings shall be Net Zero by 2020 (2030) All buildings shall be Net Zero by 2050 Japan Heat pumps and high performance buildings are considered as key technologies to mitigate climate change 4

5 Market state of low energy buildings High performance buildings Much research has been done on the building envelope Low energy and passive houses are well established on the market with strongly growing market shares Low energy houses are becoming the current building standard System integration into the building Less research has been spent on: System technologies adapted to NZEB Multifunctional building technology to cover different needs Building integration of system technology NZEB are rather in the P&D Phase About 300 NZEB worldwide, mostly to demonstrate net zero or plus energy balance 5

7 NZEB Definition Political targets indicate: Next step will be Nearly or Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) DEFINITION Nearly Zero Energy Building Means a building that has a very high energy performance Nearly or very low energy amount should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including renewable energy produced on-site or nearby =>Presently no common definition of NZEB, neither in policy nor in the market Timeline of EPBD recast for NZEBs source: Jakobs 7

8 renewable energy generation energy supply NZEB Definition Principle of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) energy efficiency passive approaches energy consumption Missing items for thorough definition Calculation/Balancing time: Monthly or annual calculation Energy/Emissions: Delivered energy, primary energy, embodied energy, CO 2 -emissions Energy production: Renewable production on-site vs. import of good locations (e.g. Southern Spain) System boundary: Heat generation, including auxiliaries including appliances, materials (LCA) Load mismatch/grid interaction: Grid-connected PV Avoid additional stress for the grid based on Voss / Lollini 8

13 Summary State Nearly Zero Energy Buildings Nearly Zero Energy Buildings But Already today, already plus energy, already self-sufficient, residential/non-residential Common interpretation is a grid-connected house with zero operational energy balance NZEB still in the P & D phase, often different systems installed Focus is on new buildings Many different concepts (technical feasibility in focus, often economically not optimal) Heat pumps in NZEB Heat pumps already well-established, many NZEB use heat pumps Heat pumps are a very promising system to link the sources and sinks efficiently Heat source energy is renewable and heat pump can be operated CO 2 -free Heat pumps can activate short-term storage option of electricity in the building thermal mass 13

14 IEA HPP Annex 40 Objectives and Scope Open questions How is an NZEB reached most energy- and cost-effectively? How are heat pumps integrated into building concepts for NZEBs in the best way? Objectives 1. Optimisation of concepts for Nearly Zero Energy buildings (NZEB) with heat pumps 2. Evaluation of building- and system integration options favorable for NZEB 3. Requirements for further developments of current marketable heat pumps to exploit specific performance opportunities in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (e.g. multi-source ability, capacity range, capacity control, temperature lift) Scope Residential buildings (focus on space heating, DHW, extensions ventilation, space cooling) Small commercial buildings (focus on space cooling, ventilation, DHW lower demand) 14

15 Concept Plus energy house - Integration options for heat pump Integration options for plus energy house concept Ground-to-air HX could be replaced by borehole HX by HP (subcooling) PV could serve as heat source (as PV/T) => ground coupling (smaller, back-up) solar regeneration can reduce borehole HX event. solar thermal system can be replaced X X PV (cooling) and HP (subcooling) may be operated more efficiently X source: IGS
