Added:Common general framework for the calculation of energy performance of buildings

Added:(referred to in Article 4)

Added:1. The energy performance of a building shall be determined on the basis of calculated or metered energy use and shall reflect typical energy use for space heating, space cooling, domestic hot water, ventilation, built-in lighting and other technical building systems. Member States shall ensure that the typical energy use is representative of actual operating conditions for each relevant typology and reflects the typical user behaviour. ▌ Typical energy use and typical user behaviour shall be based on available national statistics, building codes and metered data.

Added:Where metered energy is the basis for calculating the energy performance of buildings, the calculation methodology shall be capable of identifying the influence of the behaviour of occupants and the local climate, which shall not be reflected in the result of the calculation. Metered energy to be used for the purposes of calculating the energy performance of buildings shall require readings of at least hourly intervals and must differentiate between energy carriers.

Added:Member States may use metered energy consumption under typical operating conditions to verify the correctness of the calculated energy use and enable comparison between calculated and actual performance. Metered energy consumption for the purposes of verification and comparison may be based on monthly readings.

Added:The energy performance of a building shall be expressed by a numeric indicator of primary energy use per unit of reference floor area per year, in kWh/(m2.y) for the purpose of both energy performance certification and compliance with minimum energy performance requirements. Numeric indicators of final energy use per unit of reference floor area per year, in kWh/(m2.y) and of energy needs according to ISO 52000 in kWh/(m².y) shall be used. The methodology applied for the determination of the energy performance of a building shall be transparent and open to innovation and reflect best practices, in particular from additional indicators.

Added:Member States shall describe their national calculation methodology based on Annex A of the key European standards on energy performance of buildings, namely EN ISO 52000-1, EN ISO 52003-1, EN ISO 52010-1,EN ISO 52016-1, EN ISO 52018-1,EN 16798-1, EN 52120-1 and EN 17423 or superseding documents This provision shall not constitute a legal codification of those standards.

Added:Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that, where buildings are supplied by district heating or cooling systems, the benefits of such supply are recognised and accounted for in the calculation methodology in particular the renewable energy share through individually certified or recognised primary energy factors.

Added:2. The energy needs and energy use for space heating, space cooling, domestic hot water, ventilation, lighting and other technical building systems shall be calculated using hourly or sub-hourly time calculation intervals in order to account for varying conditions that significantly affect the operation and performance of the system and the indoor conditions, and to optimise costs, health, indoor environmental quality and comfort levels defined by Member States at national or regional level. The calculation shall include an estimation of the thermal responsiveness of the building and its capacity to offer flexibility to the energy grid.

Added:Where product-specific regulations for energy-related products adopted under Regulation 2009/125/EC include specific product information requirements for the purpose of the calculation of energy performance and life-cycle GWP under this Directive, national calculation methods shall not require additional information.

Added:The calculation of primary energy shall be based on dynamic and forward-looking primary energy factors, (distinguishing non-renewable, renewable and total) per energy carrier, which have to be recognised by the national authorities and taking into account the expected energy mix on the basis of its national energy and climate plan. Those primary energy factors may be based on national, regional or local information. Primary energy factors may be set on an annual, seasonal, monthly,daily or hourly basis or on more specific information made available for individual district systems

Added:▌The choices made and data sources shall be reported according to EN 17423 or any superseding document. Member States shall use a primary energy factor for electricity ▌reflecting the electricity mix in the country. When defining those factors, Member States shall ensure that the optimal energy performance of the building envelope is pursued.

Added:3. For the purpose of expressing the energy performance of a building, Member States shall define additional numeric indicators of total, non-renewable and renewable primary energy use, and of operational and embodied greenhouse gas emissions produced in kgCO2eq/(m2.y) over the expected service life of the building.

Added:3a. In the calculation of the primary energy factors for the purpose of calculating the energy performance of buildings, Member States may take into account renewable energy sources supplied and renewable energy sources that are generated and used onsite.

Added:4. The methodology shall be laid down taking into consideration at least the following aspects:

Added:(a) the following actual thermal characteristics of the building including its internal partitions:

Added:(i) thermal capacity;

Added:(ii) insulation;

Added:(iii) passive heating;

Added:(iv) cooling elements;

Added:(v) thermal bridges;

Added:(b) heating installation and hot water supply, including their insulation characteristics;

Added:(ba) capacity of installed on-site renewables, bidirectional electric vehicle charging infrastructure, demand-response and storage;

Added:(c) air-conditioning installations;

Added:(d) natural and mechanical ventilation which may include air-tightness and heat recovery;

Added:(e) built-in lighting installation (mainly in the non-residential sector);

Added:(f) the design, positioning and orientation of the building, including outdoor climate;

Added:(g) passive solar systems and solar protection;

Added:(h) indoor climatic conditions, including the designed indoor climate;

Added:(i) internal loads;

Added:(ia) building automation and control systems and their capabilities to monitor, control and optimise energy performance;

Added:(ib) efficiency of electrical installations (IEC EN 60364-8-1).

Added:5. The positive influence of the following aspects shall be taken into account:

Added:(a) local solar exposure conditions, active solar systems and other heating and electricity systems based on energy from renewable sources;

Added:(b) electricity produced by cogeneration;

Added:(c) district or block heating and cooling systems;

Added:(d) natural lighting;

Added:(da) demand-side flexibility capability (EN 50491-12-1).

Added:6. For the purpose of the calculation buildings should be adequately classified into the following categories:

Added:(a) single-family houses of different types;

Added:(b) apartment blocks;

Added:(c) offices;

Added:(d) educational buildings;
