Objetivo
The recent EU Directive 2002/91/EC on Energy Performance of Buildings (EPD) urges member states to develop and design energy performance policies. For some member states this will imply a drastic change of current building regulations and a huge effort for developing energy performance based regulations. In order to stimulate application of RES by building regulations and support member states in (re)developing energy performance regulation in a RES oriented way for both new and existing housing, the Build-On-RES project has been formulated. The Build-on-RES project will develop the methodological and contextual framework for the maximum incorporation of renewable energy sources (RES) in Energy Performance policies. The framework will address both new and existing residential buildings. In this way the project will contribute to the aim of the EU to stimulate the application of RES in the building sector.
1. Benchmark of energy performance regulations and incentives, with regard to the incorporation of renewable energy sources, for new housing and extensions to existing housing (B, DK, F, NL, UK);
2. Benchmark of energy performance regulations and incentives, with regard to the incorporation of renewable energy sources, for existing housing and conversions of existing buildings (B, DK, F, NL, UK);
3. Description of the context for extension of energy performance regulations and development of an implementation protocol for an RES-oriented building code;
4. Development of a framework for an RES-oriented European Model Building Code of Energy Performance for Housing;
5. General publication through a website, plus targeted dissemination of findings through publications and seminars, to relevant organisations.
The framework for RES oriented energy performance policies will be based on the results of an analysis of the contents, the system and the experiences regarding RES in energy performance building regulations in five member states already having experience with energy performance regulations: Belgium, Denmark, France, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Next to this, the project will investigate the potential contextual constraints on the extension of energy performance requirements, with reference to building control bodies, national standards organisations, utility companies, financial lenders, landlords, and consumers. The final outcome of the project will be two frameworks for a RES oriented Energy Performance Model Building Code: one for new housing and one for existing housing.
