1 A vision for smart buildings in Europe 26 April

2 Agenda Welcome by Oliver Rapf (BPIE) Is Europe ready for the smart buildings revolution?, Maarten De Groote (BPIE) Q&A 9.45 A vision for smart buildings and the policy implications, Frances Bean (BPIE) Q&A Panel discussion & debate, moderated by Oliver Rapf (BPIE) What is needed at the European level to support and boost the transition to smart buildings? o Alix Chambris (Danfoss) o Christophe Arnaud (SolarPower Europe) o Grace Murray (Smart Energy Demand Coalition) o Steven Van Deun (Vito) Closing and next steps, Oliver Rapf (BPIE)

3 How ready is Europe for the Smart Building Revolution? Maarten De Groote Head of Research Buildings Performance Institute

4 Europe needs to accelerate the smart and sustainable energy transition Centralised Fossil fuel-based Highly-energyconsuming Decentralised Powered by renewable energy Efficient & consumer focused

5 Buildings recognise, predict, and respond to needs, lifestyles, and habits of occupants

6 Actual vs designed energy consumption Monitoring designed and actual heat use of low-energy dwellings and the effect of user behaviour on the final energy demand Source: Ghent University

7 Buildings are becoming micro-energy hubs Intelligent & User-friendly Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Production BUILDINGS Energy Storage Demand Response

8 10 principles for smart buildings in a decarbonised energy system All principles important separately, but most effectively considered together Apart from principle 1, the sequence is not in order of importance

9 Defining a smart building A smart building is highly energy efficient and covers its very low energy demand to a large extent by on-site or district-system-driven renewable energy sources. A smart building: stabilises and drives a faster decarbonisation of the energy system through energy storage and demandside flexibility empowers its users and occupants with control over the energy flows recognises and reacts to users and occupants needs such as comfort, health and well-being, as well as operational performance.

10 Mapping a smart-ready built environment

11 Energy performance of the building stock Ability to keep the building adequately warm Healthy living and working environment Renewable energy uptake Photovoltaic solar energy Efficient heating & cooling capacity Smart meter deployment Dynamic energy market Connectivity of households Access to demand response Roll-out of building energy storage Market penetration of electric vehicles

12 Ability Building to keep Envelope adequately warm Final energy consumption

13 Renewable energy uptake Share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption More RES = incentives for storage, demand flexibility and a dynamic energy market No evaluation on the national renewable energy targets

14 Demand response availability Indication of the authorisation of DR and aggregation of demand FI, FR and UK are the leading countries Reducing peak consumption to avoid grid imbalance Enabling security of supply, renewable energy and increased market competition

15 Smart meter deployment SE, FI and IT have completed their roll-out of smart meters Smart meters empower endusers with a better understanding and control over their energy consumption A two-way communication between the consumer and the utility company should be enabled Accurate measurement is a requirement to valorise demand response services

16 Is Europe ready for smart buildings? No country is fully ready SE, FI, DK and NL are the leading countries Austria ranked 7 th, Germany 8 th Overall low score o Rigid regulatory frameworks, e.g. demand response o Lack of investments, e.g. building energy performance or smart meters o Recent market penetration of some technologies, e.g. building energy storage and electric vehicles

20 EU legislation Energy Efficiency Energy Performance of Buildings Renewable Energy Electricity

21 EPBD Smartness indicator According to the European Commission: The indicator should cover: Features which enhance the ability of building occupants and the building itself to react to comfort of operational requirements, take part in demand response and contribute to the smooth and safe operation of various energy systems and district infrastructures to which the building is connected.

22 EPBD Smartness indicator Meaningful info Benefits Market pull Effective indicator

23 EPBD Smartness indicator Defining a smart building A smart building is highly energy efficient and covers its very low energy demand to a large extent by on-site or district-system-driven renewable energy sources. A smart building: - stabilises and drives a faster decarbonisation of the energy system through energy storage and demand-side flexibility - empowers its users and occupants with control over the energy flows - recognises and reacts to users and occupants needs such as comfort, health and well-being, as well as operational performance.

24 FEATURES EPBD Smartness indicator High building performance Reduction of energy demand Greater use of locally-produced renewable energy Healthy and comfortable indoor environment for occupants Dynamic operability Empower occupants with control over the energy flows Enhance the ability to optimise comfort, indoor air quality, wellbeing and operational requirements Energy system responsiveness Optimum operation of connected energy systems and district infrastructures
