1 EU Energy Performance Buildings Directive: 2nd revision: New OPPORTUNITIES The role of ISO standards in this new EPBD what can we expect? Using the built-in flexibility of the set of EPB ISO standards. Jaap Hogeling JWG of ISO TC 163&205 : Chair of advisory group on coordination of ISO and CEN Work on EPB Chair CEN TC 371 Program Committee on EPBD jaap.hogeling@epb.center Fellow of ASHRAE and REHVA

2 2018: Current Status Energy Performance Buildings-standards All EN and ISO EPB-standards and connected Technical Reports (EN and ISO) have been published Implementation of these standards via the national EPB regulation is the next step Many EU countries will do this, step by step in the coming months/years, however there is a big variation in the legislation framework, building regulation is up to the EU MS s.

4 EPBD Annex 1: Common general framework for calculation of EP of buildings: The EP shall be expressed in kwh/(m2.y) primary energy use. The assessment methodology shall be transparent and open to innovation. EU MS s shall describe/report their national procedures following at least the ISO EPB standards: ISO ; ; ; ; ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 4

5 The overarching type ISO EPB standards required by the EPBD ISO : Overarching EPB assessment General framework and procedures ISO :Indicators, requirements, ratings and certificates General aspects and application to the overall energy performance ISO : External climatic conditions Conversion of climatic data for energy calculations ISO : Energy needs for heating and cooling, internal temperatures and sensible and latent heat loads Calculation procedures ISO : Indicators for partial EPB requirements related to thermal energy balance and fabric features Overview of options ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 5

6 Implementation of the set of EPB standards If properly implemented, the benefits are: Harmonisation of the EPB assessment procedures in Europe and possible globally via the use of these standards. This will have impact on the harmonisation of the product and system requirements for energy relevant products/materials used in buildings and their HVAC, DHW and lighting systems. Which is expected to have a positive impact on innovation creating a level playing field for energy saving solutions ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 6

7 Leading towards convergence and transparency The set of EPB standards is intended to bring convergence and transparency in the EPB assessment methods in particular: to check compliance with the minimum energy performance requirements and as information for the energy performance certificate. ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 7

8 Flexibility via tailored choices Each EPB standard contains a series of choices ( Annex A ) that enables tailoring of the method to the national context. Such national or regional choices remain necessary, due to differences in climate, culture & building tradition, policy and legal frameworks. ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 8

9 Direct use of an EPB standard : The authority mandatory prescribes, for the assessment of the EP in the context of their building regulations, the use of this EPB standard in combination with a specific set of choices and values published in the national data sheet according to the template of Annex A of this EPB standard. It replaces (a part of) the current National or Regional Energy Performance of Buildings assessment procedures. ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 9

10 conclusions A substantial number of EU countries are taking over the set of EPB standards as they are using the flexibility of the annexes All EU countries have to declare, on basis of annex A, if and how, their national procedures deviate from the ISO series assumptions. Many countries will choose a step by step introduction For several legislators the EPB standards will not be a direct referenced, they reference national procedures based on the set of EPB standards. ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 10

11 Follow-up the EPB Center has been set up by REHVA and ISSO (see ) EPB.CENTER : your service center for information and technical support on the new set of EPB standards If successful to attract sufficient support the EPB center will contribute to the follow-up ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 11

12 The EPB.Center has been set-up with the mission: focus on the EPB standards implementation at national and regional levels. With the aim to provide free of charge stakeholders and interested parties with technical support for the implementation and dissemination of information on the set of EPB standards at national and regional level. While providing this support aiming to assist with formulating needs in order to further develop, maintain and improve the set of EPB standards. See ENECE Joint TF, Yerevan, Armenia 12
