Status/Planning EPB-
project • During 2015 expected closing enquiries for all the draft
EPB-standards (EN and EN-ISO)
• The OAS prEN ISO/DIS 52000-1 is now at enquiry stage Opening date 2015-08-27 Closing date 2015-11-27 the connected TR is available as N-document at ISO/TC163 and ISO/TC205 level, voting on TR is expected parallel to the FV of the OAS.
• The end of 2015 we expect most Enquiry comments to be resolved and draft Formal Vote versions ready at TC level.
• After voting we expect that by the end of 2016 all EPB-standards will be published as EN or EN-ISO standards

Observation in Europe
• One of the important instruments to support the proper implementation of the EPBD policy is the modularly structured, transparent, unambiguous, but flexible* set of EN and ISO EPB standards
*: for local climate, national legal framework, building tradition, building use, existing local energy-infrastructure, etc…
ISO-TC163-205-WS-Victoria 9/13/2015
workshop
Why we need this flexibility
and transparency Flexibility: to be suitable for:
– local climate,
– National/ regional legal framework,
– National/ regional building tradition and building use,
– existing local (national or regional) energy-
infrastructure,
– Etc…
Transparency: to accommodate a levelled
playing field when:
– Expressing the EP of buildings
– offering various energy (or CO2) saving solutions

Connection of custom
modules: input data
Each calculation module needs two types of input data:
• Data coming from other parts of the calculation: (required
energy output, operating conditions, etc.),
• Data specified only when using this module, «local data»
Typically these are product data and application conditions
like localization of components (boiler, pipes indoor/outdoor)
Conditions to be satisfied by custom non-EN/ISO modules:
• The input data of the replaced module, together with custom
local data, shall be complete, to be able to perform the
calculation according to the custom module.
• The available input data coming from other parts are listed as
«operating conditions» in the input data specification of the
replaced EN/ISO standard module
workshop
Set of EPB standards: unambiguous but flexible
(allowing national choices, boundary conditions and
input data)
Each EPB standard contains:
• Annex A (normative): template for choices and
input data needed for using the standard
• Annex B (informative): informative default
choices and input data
• In general:
– Each individual user of the EPB standard is free to
create his/her own data sheet according to the
template of Annex A
(~ replace the default choices and values of Annex B)

NOTE
In particular for the application within the context of
regional or national legal requirements.
These choices (either the default choices from Annex B
or choices adapted to national/regional needs),
but in any case following the template of this Annex A
can be made available as National Annex or as
separate (e.g. legal) document.

National implementation of
EPB standards: • National cover page and the Introduction text in the EPB
standards: this text allows the NSB’s (or authorities) to
include information regarding the position of the EPB standard
in their national regulation, version indication etc…
• NSB’s can publish a National Annex to each EPB standards
where they make use of the Annex A template. A National
Annex is not an Annex A.
• A NA is a separate document, it does not have to be attached
to the standard it refers to
• A NA could include more additional information! More
National Annexes could be developed, e.g. for different
building functions etc…
9/13/2015 ISO-TC163-205-WS-Victoria
workshop
The main target-groups of the set
of EPB standards
It is expected, if the default values and choices in Annex B are
not followed due to national regulations, policy or traditions, that:
– Either the NSB will consider the possibility to add or include a National
Annex in agreement with the template of Annex A.
– Or the national or regional authorities will, in the building
regulations, reference the standard and prepare data sheets containing
the national or regional choices and values, in agreement with the
template of Annex A.
• Further target groups are:
– users of the voluntary common European Union certification
scheme for the energy performance of non-residential buildings
– other Pan EU or Global parties wanting to motivate their policy by
classifying the building EP for a dedicated building stock.
– Global Innovators on the EP-market 9/13/2015 ISO-TC163-205-WS-Victoria
workshop
The developed EPB
standards
• have a modular and transparent structure,
an unambiguous framework for default
values and choices
• Include default values and choices in
annex B to most of the EPB standards;
• Include the possibility as user, national or
regional authority, to create (national)
Annexes based on the Annex A template;
9/13/2015 ISO-TC163-205-WS-Victoria
workshop Summary
• ISO and CEN are on a fast track to develop the
procedures and standards for buildings, systems
and products towards low energy buildings that
could meet the nZEB targets
• The developed standards and procedures will offer
the flexibility and transparency to apply them
throughout Europe and Globally
• CEN and ISO cooperate to achieve a common set of
EPB standards ( for ISO in the 52000 series:
52000—52150 have been reserved)

But first, recall:
the “Annex A, Annex B approach”
• Set of EPB standards:
– unambiguous but flexible
– allowing transparent national choices,
boundary conditions, input data and
references
• By the “Annex A, Annex B approach”
– Explained in presentation by Jaap Hogeling
– This approach is adopted in each EPB
standard Slide 26

Convention 2
• Step A/Step B approach:
• Step A:
– Energy exported to outside the assessment boundary is
recorded separately and not rewarded in the energy
performance of the building.
– But also the associated primary energy resources that were
needed to produce this exported energy are not taken into
account,
but recorded separately .
• Step B (optional choice for a country or region):
– All (or a fraction: kexp= 0<->1) of the exported energy is rewarded
in the EP of the building
– But also the associated primary energy (ren and/or nren)
needed to produce this energy is taken into account Slide 37

Convention 3: How to reward exported
energy in the optional Step B
• For the optional Step B:
• How is the exported energy rewarded in the EP of the
building?
• For electricity exported to the grid:
– By assuming that a same amount of electricity produced elsewhere
for the grid has been avoided by the exported electricity
– And then accounting how much primary energy (Pren and Pnren)
can be associated with the avoided electricity production
elsewhere.
Slide 40
Within this convention, still different ‘philosophies’ can be adopted.
These will be discussed further on, each with their consequences

Grid
workshop Smart observation 1
• If the primary energy factors for delivered electricity from
the grid and for exported electricity to the grid (avoided
prim.energy elsewhere) are the same:
– Then no split between Step A and Step B needed, because
delivered PE for exported energy == avoided PE by exported
energy!
• Answer:
– This is only true, if Step B is chosen, with kexp= 1
– But there may also be good reasons to have different PE factors
for delivered and exported energy
– See discussion further on
Slide 43
workshop
Additional optional benefit of
Step A, Step B approach
Slide 44
• If a country does not want to reward exported energy
from a building in the EP of the building.
• But if it accepts the EP of a combination of buildings (“on
site” or “nearby”; e.g. a university campus):
• The exported energy from building A may be accepted
as delivered energy to buildings C and D
workshop Convention 4
• Especially for Step B:
• In case of a Combined Heat and Power system (CHP) on site:
• What is the rule for associating the primary energy delivered to the
CHP to the produced electricity and to the produced heat?
• There are several conventions possible:
1. Caloric
2. Power loss, real
3. Power loss, equivalent
4. Exergetic
5. Alternative production
6. Residual power
7. Residual heat (power bonus)
• Many pro’s and con’s (internal note and spreadsheet Laurent Socal)
Slide 45
workshop Convention 4 (continued)
• In case of a Combined Heat and Power system (CHP)
on site:
• “Power bonus” convention is chosen: – Electricity is assumed to be produced with reference efficiency
This means: reference Pren and Pnren factors for delivered energy.
– The extra Pren and Pnren needed for the CHP is associated to the
produced heat
(values can become negative if reference factors are chosen too
conservative…).
• Reasons – In case of CHP for EP Buildings: CHP is supposed to be heat demand
driven
electricity is a by-product
– The concept of reference PE factors for delivered energy is known and
used for grid produced electricity Slide 46
workshop Smart observation 2
• I see only “own use” and “export” of electricity.
• But there may be also other electricity use at the building
site, for non-EPB uses. For instance appliances,
cooking, special processes, ..
– Why is this not taken into account? Because it is better to use it
on site than to dump it to the grid
• Answer:
– Agreed!
– It is taken into account: it is part of “exported electricity”, because
it crosses the EPB assessment boundary
– An option is given to have separate PE factors for this.
• It requires that the amount of non-EPB use of electricity is known.
• E.g. national values: kWh/m2, depending on the building category
Slide 47
workshop Smart observation 3
• It makes quite a difference whether the surplus of
electricity is considered at hourly time intervals, or
monthly or annual!
• Answer: True!
– In a monthly electricity balance, the momentary mismatch
between produced and used electricity is hidden.
– In an annual electricity balance even worse.
– So, for a monthly calculation method, to be consistent with an
hourly method, a “utilization factor” (or “matching factor”) is
needed to correct for the mismatch.
– Otherwise the monthly method will underestimate how much
electricity is not used but exported to the grid Slide 48
workshop
Why would a country consider different PE
factors for delivered and exported electricity?
Slide 49
Examples of
considerations/choices
Impact on PEF
values
(examples)
Impact on market
Delivered: based on national
grid, mix of renewable sources
and non-renewable fuel types,
plant (types and ages)
Exported: produced on site is
most likely using modern
technology should be
compared to modern technology
in the grid (BAT: Best Available
Technology).
Renewable sources in the grid
get priority, so exported does not
replace renewable at the grid
Pren;del =0,2
Pnren;del = 2,3
Pren;exp =0,0
Pnren;exp = 2,0
Stimulates own use of
electricity over export of
electricity.
If values for exported
electricity are also used
as reference for CHP:
less likely to get negative
values of primary energy
use for the heat
production

nZEB: How an efficient building should look like?
Building fabric > low amount of energy required => Indicator: Building
needs
Technical building system > efficient heating, cooling, DHW systems => Indicator: Energy use
Building as energy producer > cogeneration, PV => Indicator: Energy balance
Energy carrier > energy from renewable sources => Indicator: Non-ren primary
energy
Is defining only one requirement (the most global one) transparent and
satisfying?
Building products > low amount of energy required => Indicator: Thermal
losses
In Europe building products are taken into account by Ecodesign + labelling Directive
(mandatory)
In Europe the building as a whole is taken into account by the Energy Performance of building
Directive (framework directive)

boundary
1) Building compensated by PV
export
2) Building compensated by
renewable import
Evaluation hypothesis: always same result
(e.g. class A)
“Overall assessment” enabling global optimization between “on-site”, “nearby”
“distant”
Therefore for a class A building (the best) • Maybe low quality building fabric
• Maybe low quality technical building systems
• Maybe a high energy bill
Cost optimum
• High energy bill (but exported
energy)
• Insulation company ()
• PV producer ()
Will building user
understand this ?

1st hurdle: Energy needs
1st requirement:
performance of the building fabric characterized by the energy needs
Characteristics taken into account:
• quality of the building envelope (e.g. insulation, windows),
• bioclimatic design (e.g. orientation, solar gains, natural lighting)
• indoor climatic conditions (avoid possible negative effects).
Characteristics not taken into account:
• Only space heating is considered, e.g. not domestic hot water
• No impact of technical building systems (e.g. heat pumps)
(“Over” insulation without considering performance of
technical building systems leads to sub optimal solutions)
The energy needs are calculated with EN ISO 52016-1
workshop
Johann.zirngibl@cstb.fr Page 61
2nd hurdle: Total primary energy use
2nd requirement
Efficiency of the technical building systems (e.g. HVAC installation),
characterized by the total primary energy use
Rationale for total primary energy factor
• Technical building systems are linked to an energy carrier (e.g. gas boiler).
• Total primary energy use is a coherent and fair way for setting technical building system
requirements. Some systems (e.g. direct electrical emitters) have some of their systems
losses outside the building assessment boundary (e.g. electricity).
• Total primary energy use allows to consider performance using renewable energy (e.g.
biomass boiler)
• Only energies delivered through the assessment boundary from nearby and distant (not
on-site !!) are taken into account (linking with the energy meters /price).
• Difficulty: Different evaluation if systems are moved from “on-site” to “nearby” (e.g. heat
pumps), System losses by on-site renewables (e.g. solar) are not directly covered.
Characteristics not taken into account:
• Positive influence of energies from renewable sources (e.g. active solar systems)
The total primary energy use is calculated with EN ISO 52000-1 + system standards
workshop
Johann.zirngibl@cstb.fr Page 62
3rd hurdle: Non-renewable primary energy use
without compensation between energy carriers
3rd requirement
contribution of energies from renewable sources (e.g. active solar systems) from
“on-site”, “nearby” or “distant” characterized by the non-renewable primary
energy use.
Characteristics not taken into account:
• Building as energy “producer” (not only consumer)
Exported energies, Interaction with grid
• No Overall optimization
Compensation between energy services and energy carriers
The non-renewable primary energy use is calculated with EN ISO 52000-1 +
system standards
workshop
Johann.zirngibl@cstb.fr Page 63
“Arrival”: Final nZEB rating
non-renewable primary energy with compensation
EP= (weighted Delivered – weighted
Exported)
Arrival
Only if the requirement of each hurdle (see before) is
reached then the primary energy balance assessment (rating)
can be made
But
Country can choose the level of requirement (hurdle height)
(if all hurdles low overall optimization)

Impact of definition on technologies
Compensation: same or different energy carrier
There are several possibilities of considering exported energies:
one energy carrier can be only compensated by the same energy
carrier
• on-site biogas could be deducted from delivered gas,
• PV electricity from grid electricity
one energy carrier could be compensated by different energy carrier
(e.g. on-site PV electricity production could be deducted from
delivered gas);
Compensation “only between same energy carrier” favors electricity
use (e.g. use of heat pumps instead of condensing boilers)
because exported energy is often electricity produced by PV
workshop
Johann.zirngibl@cstb.fr Page 65
Impact of definition on technologies
Compensation: same or different time step
Possible Time step of compensation
energy compensation only at the same time step (e.g. hourly, monthly,
yearly)
(e.g. auto consumption of produced electricity)
energy compensation at different time step (e.g. it is admitted that the energy used by the building in winter
is compensated by the PV electricity production in summer),
Compensation “only at the same time step” favors auto-consumption and energy
storage

Flexibility and transparency of national choices
“national tuning screws” – level of requirement
CEN propose the principles (common structure)
Member States defines the level of requirement (hurdle
height) National choice

Resume
Consequences of nZEB requirements on the end user
(building owner, industrial)
Industrial: National boundary conditions have a strong influence on technical
systems:
• energy carrier, on-site production, auto-consumption, etc
• technical systems will reach or not the nZEB level
technical solution will be out of market
National boundary conditions should be based on cost optimum calculation !!
nZEB definition = important industrial
challenge
nZEB definition: common + transparent metrics
needed
Building owner: energy bill (e.g. class A building but high energy bill)
