Comparing Energy Performance Requirements Across Europe
27 January 2009, 10:00-12:00 GMT+1 (Paris time)
One of the goals of ASIEPI is to investigate ways to compare the energy performance (EP) requirement levels in the EU Member States.
For outsiders, a national energy performance requirement level is quite a black box. It is almost impossible to have an idea of what such a national requirement level exactly means when you are not working with the national calculation method in question regularly. For instance, the energy performance requirement level for residential buildings in Flanders (Belgium) is E100, whereas the Dutch energy performance requirement level is 0,8. What do these levels mean? And what does tightening of the levels mean, e.g. from E100 to E90? Let alone, how can we compare the Flemish E100 with the Dutch 0,8?
This web event on January 27 has given a glance of some pilot study results of the comparison of requirements and share with you why comparing the requirements among the countries in Europe isn’t evident. For everyone involved in the discussion on the comparison of energy performance requirement levels in Europe, it is crucial to understand the challenges involved in this task.
The strictness of the requirement levels is set on national level. Already the Member States are obliged by the EPBD to tighten the energy performance requirement levels every few years on national level. This development of the EP requirement levels in the Member States will be monitored. The results of the ASIEPI project will contribute to this monitoring.
To increase the impact of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) the EPBD is being recasted. A proposal of the recast was published two months ago. The key issues of the recast has been discussed during this web event.
