AGENDA:


– EPDB NZEB

– EED art. 4 and 5




5. CONCLUSIONS

• Kyoto (1997 – 2005) / Copenhagen (2009) / Cancun (2010)

• EU targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to be met by 2020:

– 20% compared to 1990 levels

– 20% increase in energy efficiency

– 20% share of renewable energy in

overall EU energy consumption

• EPDB Directive 2002

• Recast EPDB 2010

• EED 2012


Recast EPDB 2010:

• Minimum energy performance requirements also for the renovated building elements

• NZEB: nearly zero-energy building: “a building that has a very high energy performance. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby.”

– by 2018 for public buildings

– by 2020 for all buildings

• System requirements, intelligent metering, active control systems, regular inspection

• EPC when a building is constructed, sold or rented


Recast EPDB 2010: Member States of the EU now in the process of implementing

Exceptions: Protected heritage and historic buildings1. “in so far as minimum energy performance requirements

would unacceptably alter their character or appearance”

2. “buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities”.

Trogir, Croatia 08/2013

Level of the requirements is set by the individual Member States.


EED 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency:

• art. 4 Building renovation

Member States shall establish a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national stock of residential and commercial buildings, both public and private.

SOLUTIONS


Hyères, (Fr.) 2012

Efficient ENergy for EU Cultural Heritage

• bridges the gap between conservation of historic buildings and climate protection: active and passive solutions.

• Demonstrates the feasibility of “Factor 4” to “Factor 10” reduction in energy demand in historic buildings:

– respecting their heritage value

– with a multidisciplinary approach

– high quality interventions

• Bolzano/Bozen (Italy)

•• Thermography of the Public Weigh House

• Will work on innovative solutions for conservation and energy-efficient refurbishment.

• Contribution to the Directives on Energy Performance in Buildings (EPBD) and CEN TC 346 standards

Historic buildings

• are the trademark of numerous European cities

• are a living symbol of Europe‟s rich cultural heritage & diversity

• reflect the society's identity and need to be protected - 30% of building stock

• show a high level of energy inefficiency

• contribute with considerable CO2 emissions to climate change

• do not always offer “comfort” – to people as well as to artworks

• Are also non-protected buildings

buildings built before 1945 and representative of the period of their construction or history, not necessarily protected by heritage legislation.

EFFESUS ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR EU HISTORIC DISTRICTS SUSTAINABILITY

http://www.effesus.eu/



4 main scientific objectives:

• Categorisation of European historic districts and development of a multi-scale data model

• Evaluation, development and implementation of cost effective technologies and systems for significantly improving energy efficiency in historic districts

• Development of a methodology and a software tool to assess energy retrofitting interventions in historic districts

• Overcoming technical and nontechnical barriers for the implementation of project results



Main output: a Decision Support System (DSS), a software tool, which includes all the parameters needed to select suitable energy efficiency interventions for historic districts.

SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMMESME - Targeted Collaborative Project

FASUDIRFriendly and Affordable Sustainable Urban Districts Retrofitting

Consortium: Tecnalia, Fraunhofer, Acciona, D´Appolonia, IES, GEONARDO, ABUD, CALCON, SANTIAGO, LBS, iiSBE

Objective: develop tools that support decision making of renewal/retrofitting projects of buildings at district scale (including historic structures):

• Focus on the energy performance of buildings• Impact of district space planning• Urban networks and related installations

(transport, energy, …)

Friendly and Affordable Sustainable Urban Districts Retrofitting

Output: an Integrated Decision Support Tool(IDST) based on a new methodology supportedby a GIS software tool that will help decisionmakers to select the best energy retrofittingstrategy to increase the sustainability of the wholedistrict.

Report "Building Energy Efficiency in European Cities"

• Cities can lead in the reduction of CO2 emissions and the fight against climate change.

• However, considerable intensification in the delivery of ambitious whole-building energy efficiency upgrade programmes is needed.

Public private partnership (PPP) on “Energy efficient Buildings”

• Within the context of the economic crisis in 2008, the European Commission launched an Economic Recovery Plan.

• This Public Private Partnership “Energy efficient Buildings” (EeB) takes stock on the previous work of the “European Construction Technology Platform” (ECTP) and its “Focus Area on Cultural Heritage” (FACH).


Multi-annual Road Map

• Retrofit the existing building stock (200

million houses and many offices)

• Develop future positive energy buildings and

districts

• Integrate new technologies (including renewable

energy technologies)

Energy Efficient Buildings

The challenge for the future: HORIZON 2020

• Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020)

• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:

- Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth

- Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment

- Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology


Cultural heritage will still be addressed in the new FP for research and innovation “HORIZON 2020” in different ways under its three mutually reinforcing priorities

• “Excellent Science” (incl. infrastructures)

• “Industrial Leadership” and

• “Societal Challenges”.



AGENDA:

5. CONCLUSIONS

CEN/TC 346 Conservation of Cultural Property

CEN/TC 346/WG 8: Standards for Energy Efficiency in Historic Buildings

• Developing guidelines for improving energy efficiency of architecturally, culturally or historically valuable buildings while preserving their inherent cultural heritage values.

• Representation in WG 8:

CEN/TC 346/WG 8: Standards for Energy Efficiency in Historic Buildings

• This standard presents a normative working procedure for planning and selection of measures based on an in depth examination and documentation of the building.

• It outlines procedures to assess the impact of those measures in relation to preserving the authenticity and the architectural, cultural and historic values of the building, this includes taking into account risks and consequences of refurbishment measures.



AGENDA:





5. CONCLUSIONS

CONCLUSIONS

• We will get NEW SOLUTIONS: non-invasive, reversible and cost-effective new technologies and systems.

• We will get a DSS, decision support system, a METHODOLOGY and GUIDELINES for the energy performance upgrade of historic buildings and districts.

• We need EDUCATION: CPD

• We ARCHITECTS have to be CREATIVE

CREATIVITY!
