9
Calculation Methods for Energy
Performance of Buildings
• Inter Departmental Working Group established in 2003 - to
oversee and plan the implementation of the EPBD
• Published a Draft Action Plan - sets out proposed tasks,
responsibilities and timescales for implementing EPBD in
Ireland
• At least 4 variants of technical methodology are likely to be
required
• Existing methodology for calculating the energy performance
of a building - Heat Energy Rating
• The HER is based on the Standard Assessment Procedure
(SAP) as used by the UK Government agencies
10
Calculation Methods for Energy
Performance of Buildings
• HER method possibly form the basis of the “calculation
engine” on which future building energy rating calculation
methods are based
• Different BER Certificate formats for Residential buildings
& Non-residential buildings
• Same format used for both new and existing buildings,
within the same functional class
• Proposed BER requirement will apply to New residential
buildings from the 1 January 2007
• Other New buildings (including non-residential buildings
and public service buildings) from 1 January 2008
• Existing buildings from 1 January 2009.
11
Calculation Methods for Energy
Performance of Buildings
HER takes account of the following:
• Energy requirements - heat loss through the fabric,
including at thermal bridges
• Energy requirements - air infiltration and ventilation
• Energy requirements - provision of domestic hot water
• Energy inputs - solar gains
• Energy inputs - occupancy including the use of energyusing appliances
• Heating system responsiveness to demand and degree of
control
12
Existing Minimum Energy
Performance Requirements
• Part L – Conservation of Fuel & Energy (1997)
• Part L – Conservation of Fuel and Energy Dwellings
(2002)
• Part F – Ventilation (2002)
• Part J – Heat Producing Appliances (1997)
• Building Regulation S.I. No. 260/1994 – Efficiency
Requirements for new Hot Water Boiler fired with Liquid or
Gaseous Fuels
13
Conservation of Fuel & Energy
Part L – Conservation of Fuel & Energy (1997)
Part L – Conservation of Fuel and Energy Dwellings (2002)
•
Elemental U-values should not exceed the following limits for
non-domestic buildings:
 Roof: 0.35W/m2K
 Walls: 0.55W/m2K
 Ground Floors: 0.45W/m2K
•
Domestic Buildings
 Roof: 0.25W/m2K
 Walls: 0.37W/m2K
 Ground Floors: 0.37W/m2K
14
Ventilation
Part F – Ventilation (2002)
• “adequate means of ventilation shall be provided for
people in buildings, including adequate provision for the
removal of water vapour from kitchens, bathrooms and
other areas where water vapour is generated”
• “adequate provision shall be made to prevent excessive
condensation in a roof or in a roof void above an insulated
roof”
15
Heat Producing Appliances
Part J – Heat Producing Appliances (1997)
• deals with provisions for solid fuel, oil and gas burning
heat sources under several heading: ‘Air Supply’,
‘Discharge of products of combustion’, ‘Protection of
Buildings’ and ‘Oil storage tanks’
16
Hot Water Boilers
Building Regulations S.I. No. 260/1994 – Efficiency
requirements for new Hot Water Boilers fired with liquid or
gaseous fuels
• Manufacturer or his authorised representative within the
European Community shall affix the EC mark of conformity
to the energy efficiency requirements on boilers in a
visible, easily legible and indelible manner
• The conformity mark consists of the letters ‘CE’ , in the
prescribed format, along with the last two figures of the
year in which the mark was affixed
17
Existing Experience with Energy
Performance Certificates &
Boiler/AC inspection
• Concept of “energy rating” of dwellings - been in operation
on a voluntary basis for several years
• Principal voluntary methods in Ireland:
–
–
–
–
Heat Energy Rating (HER)
Irish Home Energy Rating (IHER)
National Home Energy Rating (NHER)
National Irish Centre for Energy Rating Ltd (NICER)
• HER is the official Irish rating method and is freely
available in the Irish Building Regulations
18
Existing Experience with Energy
Performance Certificates &
Boiler/AC inspection
• IHER: developed in 1998 under EU SAVE Programme partnership involving National Energy Services, (UK),
Energy Action Limited, Dublin, the Energy Research
Group, University College Dublin and Alembic Research
(Scotland)
• NHER: operated in the UK by National Energy Services &
is principally concerned with the energy consumption of
the dwelling when in use
• NICER: established in 1991 to use measurement and
software approach to offer energy audits and ratings for
Irish houses
19
Existing Experience with Energy
Performance Certificates &
Boiler/AC inspection
• Estimated approx. 230 full-time assessors will be required
to carry out approx. 62,700 transactions p.a. in GDA
• Assessors drawn from existing base of building
professionals, e.g. Engineers, Surveyors, Architects,
Building Services Engineers, etc
• Estimated cost of Building Energy Rating €300 per house
20
Existing Experience with Energy
Performance Certificates &
Boiler/AC inspection
• Boiler and AC inspection is voluntary in Ireland
• Boiler inspections encouraged through the National Boiler
Awards
• Irish EPBD working group has specified in the Draft Action
Plan that it favors option (b) of Article 8 of the Directive
regarding boilers
• Study to be commissioned by SEI - review the existing
structures and activities in place in the area of airconditioning systems commissioning, servicing and
inspection in Ireland
