Project summary
Welcome to the ASIEPI website
- EPBD requires Member States to define building energy performance requirements... but did the Member States take this opportunity to strengthen their existing legislation?
- Member States are free to define their calculation methods and their requirements... Is it therefore possible to compare requirements across Europe? If yes, are the requirements from one country more severe than those of neighbouring countries?
- EPBD gives a list of aspects to consider in the calculation procedures... Practically, how to effectively handle thermal bridges, stimulate good summer comfort conditions and good building and duct airtightness?
- EPBD should not be a barrier for innovation. Are there legal and technical frameworks to assess the energy performance of new innovative systems not covered by the standard procedures?
- Regulations are only useful if they are respected. How do the Member States organise control and compliance?
The ASIEPI project (01/10/2007 - 31/03/2010) has analysed those aspects in participating countries, and has made suggestions for improvements.
You can get an overview of the main lessons of the project by watching this "presentatioon-demand", available in English and 6 other languages (see flags below) !
This presentation lasts 60 minutes, but you can directly watch one of the topics that interest you the most. It requires Adobe Flash Player.
I wish you a pleasant visit of our website.
Peter Wouters,
ASIEPI coordinator.
