Implementing cost-optimal methodology in existing public buildings

This study presents some preliminary results of an on-going European Project, RePublic_ZEB, where an analysis is conducted for identifying the cost optimal levels for the existing buildings, towards nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) performance. The analysis is applied to the reference building for an existing office building in five different countries: Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Greece. The evaluat...

New challenge of the public buildings: nZEB findings from IEE RePublic_ZEB Project

Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEBs) have received increased attention in recent years as a result of constant concerns for energy supply constraints, decreasing energy resources, increasing energy costs and rising impact of greenhouse gases on world climate. The EPBD recast directive [1] requests all new buildings to meet higher levels of performance than before, by exploring more the alternative energy supply...

How low should be the energy required by a nearly Zero-Energy Building? The loa...

Directive 2010/31/EU adopted that by the end of 2020 all new buildings should be nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB) and Member States should achieve cost-optimal levels by ensuring minimum energy performance requirements for buildings. This paper discusses how low should be the energy required by a nZEB, in the context of housing energy consumption in a Mediterranean climate (Lisbon). For selected houses built...

New energy performance indexes for energy-efficient interactive buildings

This paper argues that promoting energy supply by Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in buildings, namely residential, requires additional informative indexes to be included in buildings Energy Performance Certificates. The load-generation approach for the energy balance is here discussed, and compared with the current recommended by CEN/TR 15615, i.e. the delivered-exported approach. Besides the Energy Performance...

Energy Efficiency Plan in Public Sector in Portugal

January 2011 the Energy Efficiency Programme in Management Public - Eco.AP Project, a rolling program, to: increase the energy efficiency of Public Administration services, buildings and equipment, target of 30% by 2020, contracts with ESCOs to obtain, in a cost-effective, improvements in efficiency.

Solar Load Ratio and ISO 13790 methodologies: Indirect gains from sunspaces

This paper reviews and analyzes the compatibility of the simplified empirical method based on the dimensionless parameter of Solar Load Ratio (SLR) and the monthly procedure of the standard ISO 13790 for indirect gains, specifically for unconditioned zones adjacent to a conditioned zone, but separated from it by a partition wall (sunspaces). The main contribution of the work presented here is the new formulatio...
