1 Building classification methodology in Albania Results of the residential building retrofitting methodology in Albania Zsuzsa Szalay PhD Support for Low-Emission Development in South East Europe (SLED)

2 Structure of the presentation Development of building typology Statistical data on the building stock, construction materials and building service systems Definition of retrofit options BAU, standard and ambitious retrofit Energy calculation methodology and main assumptions Climate data, building envelope, building service systems Calculation results Net energy demand, delivered energy, primary energy demand and CO2 emissions of the building types Investment costs Building envelope and building service systems

3 Technical support The building classification was carried out in collaboration with the Albanian expert team - Gjergji Simaku, Teuta Thimjo and Thimjo Plaku Aleksandra Novikova The work is based on the information and data provided by the local expert team Thank you for the contribution!

4 Main data sources Simaku, Gjergji; Thimjo, Teuta; Plaku, Thimjo: Albanian Residential Building Typology Matrix, Simaku, Gjergji; Thimjo, Teuta; Plaku, Thimjo: Albania National Building Typology, Energy Performance and Saving Potential, Simaku, Gjergji; Thimjo, Teuta; Plaku, Thimjo: Assessment of the energy performance of buildings heating, Simaku, Gjergji; Thimjo, Teuta; Plaku, Thimjo: Performance Calculation of Building Types, INSTAT: Statistical databases Census 2011 INSTAT: Statistical databases Census 2001 INSTAT: Statistical databases Construction INSTAT: Albania in Figures 2013, REKK: SLED Electricity sector modelling scenarios, 2015

5 Goal of the building classification Bottom-up methodology for the sectorial modelling of the residential building stock Residential building typology did not exist in Albania 20 building types Local experts Gjergji Simaku Energy demand of the present state Energy demand of retrofitting options Sectorial modelling by Aleksandra Novikova Investment costs

6 Albanian Residential Building Typology Main sources Albanian experts Statistical data from latest census (2011) Estimations based on the census if required level of detail was not available

7 Albanian Residential Building Typology Main considerations (based on experts and census data) building type detached houses; semi-detached houses; row (terraced) houses and apartment buildings. construction period: six construction periods: buildings built before 1960; between 1961 and 1980; ; and size of building: number of dwellings in the building: buildings with one dweling; two dwellings; three to four dwellings and five or more dwellings. number of floors: buildings with one floor; with two floors; three to five floors and six or more floors

8 Albanian Residential Building Typology Additional considerations: Climate zones (based on census data) Climate zone A, B and C Construction materials (based on experts) Heating systems and energy sources (based on census and experts) Electricity, wood and LPG

9 Albanian Residential Building Typology

23 Statistical data on the building stock (2011 census) Residential buildings by climate zones Disaggregation of data to climate zones was based on classifying prefecture data to climate zones. Based on census 2011

24 Statistical data on the building stock (2011 census) Building permits issued for new buildings Based on INSTAT

25 Statistical data on construction materials (2001 census) Buildings by main construction material Based on Census 2001

26 Energetic quality of buildings Before 1960: no insulation, poor energetic quality Apartment buildings after 1960: some insulation in sandwich wall 1990s: partly or insufficiently insulated 2000s: partly or insufficiently insulated (building code not strict enough, many buildings don t comply) Part of the building stock already refurbished most common interventions are roof insulation and window replacement

27 Statistical data on energy sources for heating (2011 census) Main energy sources for heating Based on Census 2011

28 Statistical data on energy sources for heating (2011 census) Main energy sources for heating by urban/rural area Main energy sources for heating by climate zone Based on Census 2011

30 Statistical data on heating systems (2011 census) Main type of heating by urban/rural area Main type of heating by climate zone Based on Census 2011

31 Statistical data on cooling systems (2011 census) Acc. to census 6% have air conditioner we assumed these are reversible heat pumps, which are used both for space heating and cooling.

32 Statistical data on hot water No statistics available for hot water Experts opinion: electric hot water boilers are common, some use wood stoves

33 Energy demand calculation Net energy demand calculation with German PhPP software (Passivhaus Institut) Stationary calculation method, suitable also for conventional buildings - based on EN ISO 13790: Energy performance of buildings Calculation of energy use for space heating and cooling Was chosen because also can model cooling demand Baseline calculation for Climate zone B and adapted to the other zones according to the heating and cooling degree days Set-point temperatures: 20 C for heating and 26 C for cooling Full and partial - intermittent heating and cooling options

34 Retrofit options Three options considered Business and Usual (improvement BAU) change of windows and heat pump: -20% in energy demand Standard retrofit (improvement 1) Complex retrofit: insulation of building envelope and efficient building services with solar collectors Ambitious retrofit (improvement 2) Complex retrofit: insulation of building envelope and efficient building services with solar collectors

35 Climate zones Based on degree days (base temperature 17.5 C) Zone A: Degree days less than Zone B: Degree days between 1501 and Zone C: Degree days higher than Prefecture Berat Dibër Durrës Elbasan Fier Gjirokastër Korçë Kukës Lezhë Shkodër Tiranë Vlorë Climate zone B C A B A B C C A B B A A B C

54 Problems Data on energy sources and heating systems: available for climate zones, but not by building type. Acc. to local experts there is a controversy in data - Expert guesses were needed. Unheated areas and duration of heating high uncertainty It is recommended to carry out statistical surveys on partial heating and cooling The typology is built for model heating; for cooling other classification critareas would be more relevant (glazed ratio, orientation, built environment) Final values reached by calibrating the bottom-up model with a top-down approach - Aleksandra
