77th Forum Effect-Energy-Environment NFOŚiGW Warszawa, 5 November 2015 The EPBD and EED implementation in Poland from the perspective of the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) Szymon Firląg Senior Expert Buildings Performance Institute Europe
The Buildings Performance Institute Europe Committed to increasing the energy performance of buildings across Europe www.bpie.eu
Energy performance in buildings, a complex EU policy framework RES Directive 2009/28/EC Eco-design Directive 2009/125/EC Labeling Directive 2010/30/EU EPB Directive 2010/31/EU EE Directive 2012/27/EU Minimum RES levels in new buildings by 2015 Energyrelated products Minimum requirements Product regulations Energyrelated products Specific delegated acts Complement eco-design Buildings 9% energy savings by 2016 MS: Periodical NEEAP
Requirements of Energy Efficiency Directive Article 4 (2012/27/EU) Article 4 specifies five requirements that need to be covered with renovation strategies. In summary, these are: An overview of the national building stock; Identification of cost-effective approaches to renovations; Policies and measures to stimulate cost-effective deep renovation of buildings; A forward-looking perspective to guide investment decisions; An evidence-based estimate of expected energy savings and wider benefits.
Scoring the Strategies 0 = MISSING - the item is not covered at all, or only described in another source 1 = UNSATISFACTORY only the most cursory coverage of the item 2 = INADEQUATE item addressed poorly, with insufficient detail, or with important aspects missing 3 = ADEQUATE meets the basic minimum requirements 4 = GOOD topic is described in some detail 5 = EXCELLENT exemplary coverage of the topic

Polish renovation strategy - National Energy Efficiency Action Plan for Poland 2014 Overview of building stock (4) described in some detail Identification of cost-effective approaches to renovations (3) is more like a technical manual or training guide Policies to stimulate cost-effective renovation (2) are dominated by an exposition of existing sources of finance, as well as an indicative allocation of EU Structural Funds
Polish renovation strategy Forward-looking perspective to guide investment decisions (2) do not constitute a strategic framework for advancement of building renovation activity in Poland Estimate of expected energy savings and wider benefits (2) provides useful information typical energy performace improvnet of some example buildings - but falls somewhat short of the requirements specified in Article 4
Requirements of Energy Efficiency Directive Article 5 (2012/27/EU) Art. 5 of Energy Efficiency Directive stipulates that all Member States shall ensure that, as of January 1, 2014, 3% of the total floor area of the heated and/or cooled buildings owned and occupied by its central government is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements.
Requirements of Energy Efficiency Directive Article 5 (2012/27/EU) Source: The Coalition for Energy Savings:
Implementation of Art. 5 in Poland The alternative approach was chosen examples of measures (e.g. renovation of envelope, change of buildings systems, energy management, behaviour change) reference to existing policies and programmes (e.g. Structural Funds, national funds) list of measures with estimates of energy saving potential was not provided Expected energy savings Polish government notified the Commission on the energy savings potential and planned measures for the building sector, taking into account both residential and non-residential buildings. Expected savings are calculated to be 2 122 000 MWh/year.
European NZEB regulation: the EPB-directive (2010/31/EU) One EU requirement 28 national implementation rules!
Implementation of EPB-directive in Poland (2010/31/EU) The Act of 29 August 2014. The energy performance of buildings Ordinance of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy dated 5 July 2013, amending the ordinance on technical conditions to be met by buildings and their location The building law from the 7th of July 1994;
Implementation of EPB-directive in Poland (2010/31/EU) The Act on the energy performance of buildings specifies: rules for drawing up the energy performance certificates; rules governing control of heating and air conditioning system in buildings; the rules of conduct central registry energy performance of buildings; how to develop a national action plan aimed at increasing the number of buildings with low energy consumption.
Energy Performance Certificates Some main facts: In order to prepare an EPC, an authorized person has to be on Ministry of Infrastructure list. Authorized means person having completed higher education, with professional title of Engineer or Master of Science, has building license. No training is required. EPC not required for single family buildings which are not sold. EPCs are not verified. According to the Act, the minister responsible for housing, local planning and zoning, using the EPC register verifies energy performance certificates.

Energy Performance Certificates SK Slovakia has had a national database since 2010 and has taken significant steps in the direction of developing a functional database with open content.
Energy Performance Certificates RO In Belgium (Wallonia, Flanders), France, Portugal, Romania, the Netherlands and Scotland, the quality control of EPCs is based on the check by qualified expert
Implementation of EPB-directive Central EPC register https://rejestr.cheb.mir.gov.pl It is not possible to automatically verify the energy performance certificates It is not possible to automatically copy the data from calculation tool to the register they have to be copy manually point after point. Public access to EPC data should be provided. The data from the register should be used for verification the policy and the efficiency of EPBD implementation. http://www.energielabelatlas.nl
Implementation of EPB-directive NZEB definition The NZEB will be identified and defined as a building with low energy consumption!!! Building with low energy consumption (not nzeb) will have to meet the requirements regarding the U values and max primary energy demand for 2021.

The EPBD and EED implementation in Poland conclusions The Directives were implemented Relevant regulations seems to be insufficient e.g. no minimum levels of energy from renewable sources in new buildings Awareness raising / Information complains should explain e.g. what is EPC and why it is useful Relevant economic incentives and financing instruments are available but we do not know much about their effectives Education and training is missing
