Austrian Energy Agency
Austria´s national energy agency (*1977)
independent non-profit scientific association
50 members:
the Federal Government,
the Federal Provinces (Länder)
enterprises (energy industry and energy engineering)
financial institutions
interest groups, …
65 employees
6 Million Euro annual turnover
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 2
Competence of EPBD
implementation (1)
Building codes:
Competence of the nine Federal Provinces, therefore:
Nine different …
building codes
regulations concerning new or refurbishing old buildings
conditions in the subsidy schemes for new and existing
buildings
EPBD
most articles will be implemented by the Federal
Provinces
only few regulations will be made on national level
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 3
Competence of EPBD
implementation (2)
In General: Federal Provinces („Länder“)
Art. 7: Energy Certification - Sold and
rented out buildings
(Ministry of
Justice)
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 4
Harmonisation of Building
Codes
Before EPBD became effective:
Process of harmonising the nine Austrian building code
Coordinated by Austrian Institute of Construction
Engineering (OIB)  codes, guidelines
Status quo (draft): Harmonisation process including
implementation of Art. 3 to 6 of EPBD Outlook
(expected): Nationwide harmonised calculation method
and minimum standards of energy performance for
buildings
Outlook (expected): Nationwide harmonised energy
performance certificate
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 5
Art. 3: Methodology
Based on existing calculation method for energy
performance of OIB (heat demand)
Updated OIB calculation guideline „Energy
performance of buildings“
Status quo: extension of existing calculation method
Heat Demand
DHW Demand
Heating system losses + Aux.
End Energy Demand
Air-conditioning, ventilation,
built-in lighting, passive solar
systems and solar protection
existing
End Energy Demand
in
process
Primary Energy Demand + C02 Indicator
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 6
draft
Art.4 - 6: Energy performance
requirements
Status quo: Nine different building codes including
definition on energy performance requirements
OIB building code (draft)
New residential buildings
Minimum Standards:
2006/2010
In progress
U-Values
Heat Demand
End Energy Demand
Remaining building types according to EPBD
Existing buildings
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 7
Art. 7: Legal implementation
Sold and rented out buildings
Ministry of Justice
separate act for implementation of EPBD (“Energy
Certification Providing Act” EAVG)
Constructed and renovated buildings
Energy performance calculated with OIB calculation
guideline
Energy performance (existing buildings)
detailed calculation method
Building typology (year of construction, area, U-values,
heating system)
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 8
Art. 7: Transposition
Current proposal
Transfer into national/regional
law
New residential buildings
New non residential buildings
Renovated buildings
Existing buildings
2006
2007
2008
2009
I II III IV I II III IV I II III IV I II III IV
additional period
National uniform transposition expected
Transposition of EPBD act on national level at Jan
2009
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 9
Art. 7: Independent experts
Current proposal:
some professional guilds are allowed ex lege
craftsmen with course and final exam
course for energy performance certificate issuing in
preparation
national harmonised regulation for independent
experts expected
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 10
Art. 7: Outlook
Determination on
Layout and content of energy certificates
Qualification standards for independent experts
Quality assessment
Developing of simplified methodology
Legal implementation of EAVG
Some important decisions expected soon
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 11
Art. 8 + 9: Inspection of heating and
air-conditioning system
Before EPBD became effective
some regulations for inspection of boilers and heating
system already exist (efficiency levels and emission
limits)
In process
regulation for inspection of air conditioning systems
customer-oriented recommendations for improving the
efficiency
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 12
EIE project: AUDITAC
Field Benchmarking and Market Development for
Audit Methods in Air Conditioning
Objectives
market information concerning the inspection of AirConditioning systems
Information and motivation of relevant actors in terms
of adoption
guideline for inspection of A/C systems (including best
practise examples)
Aim
high quality audits instead of investment-grade audits
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 13
EIE project: STABLE
Securing The Take-off of Building Energy
Certification: Improving Market Attractiveness through
Building Owner
Objectives
Increase market attractiveness of EP certification
Increase the awareness and interest of European
building owner by target campaign
Increase the certification related competence and
knowledge level of qualified energy auditor
Transfer best practices on energy certification and
building energy auditing
Austrian Energy Agency | 07/07/15 | Page 14
Summary
Implementation in process (for every article)
Including harmonisation of building codes
Still remaining activities for implementation
Final decisions for implementation for various issues
has to be done soon!
EPBD implementation until mid 2006
Transposition for (parts of) Art. 7 – 9 later than
4.1.2006
Several projects supports the implementation
