Already by 2021, every new building in Europe has to meet the standard of nearly zero-energy buildings.
During 2012, a consortium led by Ecofys undertook a study for the European Commission to provide guidance to Member States and the EC with regards to the implementation of the requirements for nearly zero-energy buildings under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The study features benchmarks for nearly zero-energy buildings for different European climates, an analytical framework for evaluating Member States national plans for increasing the number of such buildings, a reporting template for these plans and an analysis of the convergence between cost optimal levels and nearly zero-energy buildings.
The document discusses ASHRAE's goals and initiatives around sustainability and net zero energy buildings. It outlines ASHRAE's roadmap to develop tools enabling net zero energy buildings by 2030 through standards like 90.1 and 189.1. It also discusses opportunities in existing buildings, which represent most buildings that will exist in 2030 and offer the greatest potential for reduced energy use through retrofits.
This document discusses net zero energy buildings (NZEBs). It provides context on climate change and government policies driving the adoption of NZEBs. It defines NZEBs as buildings that produce as much renewable energy as they consume on an annual basis. However, there is no consistent definition as the energy balance can be measured at the site or source level and can include energy use, emissions or costs. The document also discusses practical challenges to achieving true net zero status and examples of organizations pursuing net zero energy goals.

This document discusses sustainability in building design in the UAE, with a focus on Dubai. It outlines climate change issues and environmental targets in the Kyoto Protocol, UAE, and Dubai. The presentation defines sustainability and explores potential sustainable MEP technologies like wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, and more. It emphasizes the holistic approach needed to implement sustainable solutions considering design methodology and implications for all parties.
The ECBC Building Code provides minimum energy efficiency requirements for commercial buildings in India to reduce their energy consumption and environmental impact. It applies to buildings with a connected load over 500kW or air conditioned area over 1000 sqm. The code covers requirements for building envelopes, mechanical systems, lighting, and electrical systems. Compliance with the ECBC is estimated to reduce energy use in commercial buildings by 30-40% compared to conventional buildings. Widespread adoption of the code could help India save 1.7 billion kWh of electricity annually according to BEE estimates. The code is currently voluntary but aims to become mandatory nationwide to significantly increase energy savings.
This document provides an introduction to building energy codes, including:
- The IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 are the primary baseline building energy codes that can be adopted by states. Both are updated every three years through open public processes.
- The IECC applies to both residential and commercial buildings, while ASHRAE 90.1 applies only to commercial buildings.
- The IECC process involves proposed changes being submitted and publicly reviewed before hearings where testimony is provided and votes are taken by governmental members to determine the final code.
- Collaboration between various stakeholders is important for maintaining and updating the codes to address technological and policy issues.

Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) in MalaysiaSteve Lojuntin
This document discusses nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs) in Malaysia. It begins by introducing nZEBs as an advanced low carbon building initiative, one step closer to achieving net zero or carbon neutral buildings through a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Examples of nZEBs in Malaysia are provided that demonstrate 50-86% reductions in energy usage. Retrofitting existing buildings is also discussed as a way to make progress toward nZEBs. Supporting factors are outlined, including incentives, energy monitoring systems, standards, experts, and guidelines. The document advocates a practical step-by-step approach focusing on energy management and renewable energy to achieve nZEBs.
Energy efficiency in buildings is an important concern due to rising energy demand, deregulation of energy markets, and environmental policies. Buildings consume over 40% of total energy in developed nations for heating, cooling, lighting and other uses. Tomorrow's highly energy efficient buildings will have unprecedented levels of insulation allowing comfort with only 50 kWh/m2/year of energy usage. Equipment and appliances will be highly optimized, and intelligence will seamlessly manage energy usage for optimal comfort and services while achieving net-zero energy usage. Achieving this future requires innovative solutions for new and existing buildings along with additional processing and automation.

The document outlines research using the TIMES model to study mitigation strategies for transitioning India's energy system towards net-zero emissions by 2050, comparing a current policy scenario resulting in over 100 Gt of CO2 emissions to lower emission scenarios enabled by increasing renewable energy, nuclear power, and carbon capture while reducing costs and maintaining supply. The results indicate pathways to reduce 2050 emissions to under 1 Gt through accelerated electrification, decarbonizing electricity and other sectors, and cumulative emissions by over 50% compared to current policies.
The proposed 2019-2021 Cape & Vineyard Electrification Demonstration aims to convert 700 non-gas heated homes to cold climate heat pumps, install PV systems, and provide battery storage. It seeks to reduce GHG emissions and electricity usage volatility. Key objectives include providing tiered incentives based on income levels. The proposal outlines efforts undertaken so far, proposed budgets totaling $20.3M from multiple organizations, and income verification levels for the offering.
With 80% of the built environment already in existence today, the choices we make in delivering low carbon, environmentally considered solutions must go beyond simply considering the operational efficiency of an installation. This presentation will look at what good lighting looks like for an existing space and how we can utilise already installed assets to deliver the lowest carbon impact without compromising on the needs of people.

The document discusses India's energy profile and efforts to reduce energy intensity. It notes that coal accounts for 44.1% of India's primary energy supply. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency was established in 2002 to develop policies and strategies to reduce India's energy intensity through greater efficiency. Major programs include standards and labeling for appliances, the Energy Conservation Building Code, and targets for designated consumers. The standards and labeling program has helped shift the market towards more efficient air conditioners. Overall, energy efficiency programs are estimated to achieve annual fuel savings of 44 million tons of oil equivalent.
The document summarizes India's energy efficiency policy and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency's initiatives. Key points include:
1) India's energy consumption has risen with economic growth, putting pressure on scarce resources. The Energy Conservation Act of 2001 established the Bureau of Energy Efficiency to promote efficiency.
2) The Bureau designates energy-intensive industries as "designated consumers" required to appoint energy managers, conduct audits, and meet efficiency standards. It has certified over 9,000 energy managers and auditors.
3) Standards and labeling programs require efficient appliances. The Energy Conservation Building Code sets efficiency standards for new commercial buildings. Initiatives include codes, awards, and efficiency recommendations for power plants.
Residential heat pumps in the future Danish energy systemIEA-ETSAP
This document discusses the potential role of residential heat pumps in future Danish energy systems based on energy system modeling. Residential heat pumps are found to supply 66-70% of individual heating demands after 2035, representing 24-28% of total heat demand. While Denmark's energy system can function without heat pumps, total system costs would increase by 16% and biomass use by 70%. Sensitivity analysis shows that parameters like heat pump performance and potential heat savings warrant further exploration to fully understand the impacts of residential heat pumps. The modeling highlights their potential to contribute flexibility and reduce excess renewable electricity production.

Webinar - Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings and Offsite RenewablesLeonardo ENERGY
The energy performance of buildings is key for reaching the European Union’s very ambitious climate targets. “Nearly zero energy building (nZEB)” is the term for a building standard that complies with this ambition.
Living in 2013 we have 8 years to go until every single Member State will have to build every new building as nearly zero energy building, and even only 6 years to go for nearly zero energy public buildings.
This webinar goes through some definitions of nZEB, including the concepts “on-site” and “nearby” electricity, introducing a debate around the role of “off-site” electricity in nZEB. An analysis will be done on how to determine the renewable share, balancing periods, suitable metering schemes, tariff design, ownership schemes of electricity generation, standardisation, monitoring and verification.
Still a lot of research needs to be done for developing a consistent European approach for nZEB. This webinar (and related background paper) aims to make a contribution to getting the answers in time.
The document summarizes a webinar discussing renovation tracks for Europe up to 2050. It describes three renovation scenarios that were modeled, varying the renovation rate and ambition level. Scenario 1 involved a shallow renovation approach that failed to meet CO2 reduction targets. Scenario 2 coupled a shallow renovation with high renewable energy use and met CO2 targets but with less energy savings. Scenario 3 incorporated a deep renovation approach with high efficiency and renewable energy use, achieving over 80% energy savings while meeting CO2 and cost goals. The analysis concluded that deep renovation was needed to successfully achieve European Union environmental and energy savings targets through 2050.

This document summarizes the key principles for nearly zero-energy buildings in the European Union. It discusses the EU's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, with buildings needing to achieve an 88-91% reduction. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires all new buildings from 2021 onward to be nearly zero-energy buildings. While providing flexibility for national implementation, the directive leaves room for interpretation in defining key terms like "nearly zero energy" and the use of on-site renewables. This study aims to establish common principles and methods to help member states develop effective, practical, and well-thought-out national definitions of nearly zero-energy buildings.
This document summarizes John O'Brien's presentation on UNDP GEF energy efficiency projects in Europe and the CIS region. It provides an overview of the growth of UNDP's climate change portfolio in the region from $60 million in 2009 to $127 million by 2014. It describes several ongoing energy efficiency projects focused on public and residential buildings, lighting, and other sectors. It emphasizes the importance of adaptive management and highlights the Croatia project's development of an energy management information system to monitor building energy usage across the region.
The sEEnergies project aims to operationalize the energy efficiency first principle (EEFP) both qualitatively and quantitatively. It will develop a decision support tool combining sector-specific energy demand models to analyze EE potentials from an energy systems perspective. Bottom-up models of buildings, transport, industry and grids will provide cost curves and potentials for EE measures. Scenarios from the EU's "A Clean Planet for All" will be used as common references. Energy system modelling will assess EEFP impacts and enable scenarios assessing synergies. A spatial model will map supply and demand and efficiency potentials. Heat Roadmap Europe provides recommendations including prioritizing savings over supply, utilizing excess heat and renewable energy in district heating, and establishing
Improving Technical Installations in BuildingsLeonardo ENERGY
This document provides input from the European Copper Institute into the public consultation on the evaluation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). While the EPBD has helped improve energy efficiency in buildings, it has primarily focused on new builds and major renovations, failing to capture significant potential savings from improving existing building technical systems. Upgrading controls and equipment offers cost-effective savings across the entire building stock. The EPBD could be improved by better addressing operational energy use and ensuring cost-optimality assessments properly consider all options like building automation.
Primary Energy Demand of Renewable Energy Carriers - Part IILeonardo ENERGY
This document summarizes a webinar presentation on primary energy demand of renewable energy carriers - part II. It discusses various definitions and accounting principles for primary energy factors. It reviews how primary energy factors are addressed in the Energy Efficiency Directive, Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, and Renewable Energy Directive. It also examines the policy implications of using different primary energy factor definitions, noting they can impact assessments of energy source reductions and priorities. The presentation cautions that a sole focus on reducing primary energy use could lead to conclusions that contradict climate goals of minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.
A policy perspective on Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS)Leonardo ENERGY
Improved management of technical building systems (TBS) can offer a cost-effective potential to reduce building energy consumption, improve the quality of life of occupants and facilitate the integration of renewable energy systems by providing flexibility to the connected energy grids.
Multiple policy initiatives related to BACS currently exist or are under development. This presentation will give an overview and some examples of European policy tools and/or local implementations. The most relevant policy tools that can help contribute accessing these savings potentials are the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD), the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), Ecodesign Directive (ED) and Energy Labelling Regulation (ELR).
Some examples of existing policy will be given and reference will be made to the recently completed Smart Readiness Indicator study and the ongoing Ecodesign BACS preparatory study.

ECCE Webinar: The Value of Energy-Efficiency in the Housing SectorECCE_UM
Europe has a large public housing sector, about 15-20 percent of the housing stock, where very little is known about the financial outcomes of energy-efficiency investments in the building sector. In this slidedeck, Andrea Chegut and Rogier Holtermans present the financial outcomes of energy-efficiency investments in the public housing sector.
The European Commission has big goals to reduce total energy consumption. To achieve that goal, regulatory nudges and financial investments are striving towards increasing the energy-efficiency of the housing sector. As part of that goal, the Building Energy Efficiency for Massive Market Uptake (BEEM-Up) Program, an EU 7thFramework Program project, delivers some first results on the engineering feasibility and financial performance of existing building retrofits that reduce primary energy demand in buildings by 75 percent.
Academically this is also very interesting as to date, studies using measurement tools like Energy Performance Certificates document a positive impact from high energy-efficiency in buildings on their transaction or rental value in residential and commercial real estate markets. However, most of these studies focus on the private housing or commercial real estate markets. This webinar, shares the financial performance and feasibility of energy-efficiency for the public housing sector.
Thibaut Hermans - Learning on the move - Brussels 2004-2015ecobuild.brussels
Brussels Environment developed a strategy from 2004-2015 to promote sustainable buildings in Brussels. The strategy aimed to (1) stimulate demand through financial incentives and exemplary projects, (2) improve knowledge and skills, and (3) improve supply through training and partnerships. This led to over 500,000 square meters of sustainable buildings constructed or renovated, including many passive houses. The strategy also grew the energy budget and agency staff. Going forward, Brussels Environment will focus on sustaining the market and ensuring quality through monitoring and skills development.
Cost effectiveness of cohesion policy investments in energy efficiencyMARIE Project
This document summarizes a report by the European Court of Auditors on the cost-effectiveness of Cohesion Policy investments in energy efficiency. The Court assessed whether such investments were cost-effective in three EU countries. It found that the programming and financing of the investments did not enable cost-effective projects because needs assessments were inadequate, cost-effectiveness was not a key factor, and monitoring indicators were inappropriate. It also found that energy efficiency projects in public buildings were not cost-effective, as their main objective was refurbishment rather than energy savings, energy audits were sometimes lacking, and the investments had an average payback period of around 50 years, which is too long.

When designing energy and climate policies, EU Member States have to apply the Energy Efficiency First Principle: priority should be given to measures reducing energy consumption before other decarbonization interventions are adopted. This webinar summarizes elements of the energy and climate policy of Cyprus illustrating how national authorities have addressed this principle so far, and outline challenges towards its much more rigorous implementation that is required in the coming years.
Impacts of scenario definitions on CO2 mitigation cost in energy system modelsIEA-ETSAP
The document discusses how different definitions of CO2 constraints in energy system models can impact modeling results. It analyzes two case studies using the TIMES and E2M2 models to compare scenarios with different CO2 constraints: a CO2 cap, CO2 budget, and additional constraints like energy autarky goals or coal phaseouts. The key findings are:
1) A CO2 budget constraint, which defines a total available CO2 budget over the entire modeling period, results in lower total system costs and average mitigation costs compared to an annual CO2 cap in both models.
2) Adding a second constraint, like an energy autarky goal or coal phaseout, increases total system costs but can further

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

Energy efficiency, structural change and energy savings in the manufacturing ...Leonardo ENERGY
- Structural changes in manufacturing have significantly reduced energy consumption in Denmark since 1990 through growth in lower intensity sectors like food production.
- Energy efficiency improvements also contributed, especially from 2010-2014, lowering consumption alongside structural changes.
- A decomposition analysis found that decreases in consumption from 2006-2014 were mainly from structural effects in the first half, and efficiency gains in the latter half.
- Reported energy savings from Denmark's energy efficiency obligation scheme align with estimated efficiency improvements, though some autonomous gains likely occurred too.
Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies (Lea Gynther, Motiva)Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief looks at questions ‘how to measure energy sufficiency’, ‘which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency’ and ‘how they are used in Europe today’.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits. The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.
This is the 13th edition of the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy, and number 519 in the Leonardo ENERGY series. The recording of the live presentation can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEAdYbI0wDI&list=PLUFRNkTrB5O_V155aGXfZ4b3R0fvT7sKz

This document discusses moving towards a systems approach in ecodesign and energy labelling regulations. It provides an overview of some challenges in regulating systems compared to individual products, including assessing system efficiency, identifying responsible parties, and challenges for market surveillance authorities. Examples of studies on specific systems like heating/water heating packages, lighting systems, and pumps are mentioned. Views from the EU Commission emphasize that ecodesign regulations currently apply to individual goods placed on the market, but can also cover systems if they are put together on location. Moving towards more systems approaches could increase energy savings but also introduces complexity around testing, compliance, and enforcement.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
