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)

Annex A and 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?

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)

Example: Only one requirement based on

non renewable energy balance?

Assessment

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)

workshop

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

workshop

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

workshop

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)
