“…Other studies covering the issue of energy performance evaluation of building stock, using energy indicators also coming from certification schemes, are proposed by many authors: Caldera et al (2008), Dascalaki et al (2010), Pérez-Lombard et al (2009, Reis and Escórcio (2012), McKenna et al (2013), Tsanas and Xifara (2012).…”

“…The European Union (EU) is committed to developing a sustainable, competitive, secure, and decarbonized energy system by 2050. This is because the building stock is responsible for approximately 36% of all CO 2 emissions in the EU and its share is continuously increasing within the past decades [1][2][3]. Thermal performance of the building envelope is an important part of the overall heating energy efficiency.…”

During the building design phase, a lot of attention is paid to the thermal properties of the external envelopes. New regulations are introduced to improve energy efficiency of a building and impose a reduction of the overall heat transfer coefficient; meanwhile, this efficiency is more influenced by the efficiency of the heating system and the type of fuels used. This article presents a complex analysis including the impact of: heat transfer coefficient of the envelope, efficiency of building service systems, the type of energy source, and the fuel. The analysis was based on the results of simulation tests obtained for an exemplary multi-family residential building located in Poland that is not equipped with a cooling system. The conducted calculations gave quantitative evaluation of the influence of particular parameters on building energy performance and showed that the decrease of heat transfer coefficient of building boundaries, in accordance to the Polish regulation for 2017 and 2021, gave only 11% of reduction on usable energy demand index. On the other hand, it was found that modification of the heating system and heat source can significantly influence the values of the final and primary energy consumption at the level of 70%. The application of heat pumps has a greater influence on the final and primary energy consumption for heating indices than other parameters, such as the building’s envelopes.

“…Similarly, Sweden is another case evidencing the lack of agreement among the EU countries, as it is the only one that obliges all heating and electricity to come from renewable energy sources [4]. Finally, Portugal, which established its EEC procedure in 2006 and implementation in 2009, has the peculiarity that its methodology is based specifically on three foundations: the thermal cladding, heating and air-conditioning systems, and ventilation of the building [15].…”

A Comparison of Energy Efficiency Certification in Housing: A Study of the Chilean and Spanish Cases

et al. 2019

Faced with implementing policies that seek to improve the energy efficiency of housing and reduce the impact of CO 2 emissions, several countries are introducing (unilaterally or by international agreement) energy certification systems that allow the effects of these policies to be evaluated. This study aims to compare the energy efficiency certification systems in Spain and Chile, identifying convergent and divergent parameters, enabling the existing gaps to be identified and improvements noted for both systems. To do so, 20 sample dwellings in Santiago de Chile were evaluated, along with the local calculating tools in both countries. The analysis considered the aspects of regulation, its reach, the characterization of the models and the necessary indicators. The comparison identified, among others, differences such as obligatory implementation of the system, a study of the existing buildings in the focus area, the prevailing indicators for evaluating the effects of the buildings, the low incidence of mixed energy systems in the Chilean system and the possibility of proposing and evaluating improvements in the Spanish system. As a result, higher energy requirements and greater CO 2 emissions were identified in the Chilean system, reaching differences of 42 kWh/m 2 /year in consumption and 14 kgCO 2 / m 2 /year in emissions with regard to the Spanish qualification. The results of this comparison have facilitated the identification of improvements that will increase the evaluation standards of the Chilean system.
