Big emerging questions in the energy efficient building sector

Mariangiola Fabbri Senior Project Manager Buildings Performance Institute Europe Norway House - June 13, 2016

EU Sustainable Energy Week – ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE BUILDING SECTOR

@BPIE_eu

⌂ Committed to increasing the energy performance of buildings across Europe

The context

• Construction sector is characterised by a low level of innovation

(product and process)

• EU EPBD requirements re nZEB have stimulated transformation in

the new construction market

• Existing building stock big elephant in the room: no one-fits all-

solution to tackle this beast

• Fast changes in the energy market (RES, smart grids, storage

capacity, smart devices, big data, DSM and DR), new trends, players and service models

Is the building sector keeping up?

Building nZEBs is no longer rocket-science, but… ⌂ Low-energy buildings are complex systems and need holistic approaches

• Need for new service-oriented business models, integrating design, skills

and financing  DO CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS HAVE THE NECESSARY SKILLS? ⌂ nZEBs are not required for existing buildings

Question #1 NZEB as a paradigm shift – is it true for all?

@BPIE_eu

Question #2 How to improve the existing building stock? Great heterogeneity of EU building stock

CZ SW NL DE FR UK GR ES PT IT BE RO BUL LIT AU

75-90% of the current building stock will be in use in 2050

Main Challenges Buildings are expected to satisfy different needs (comfort, performance and affordability) In practice:

• 1. Achieve higher and deeper renovation rates (and

avoid lock-in effects)

• 2. Deploy mass market potential by applying

industrialised processes and new service oriented models

• 3. Address fuel poverty
• 4. Consider multiple benefits of better performance

How to achieve deeper renovation rates and avoid lock-in effect?

RENOVATION HOLISTIC DEEP RENOVATION STAGED DEEP RENOVATION

How to deploy mass market potential ?

Energy performance guarantee One-week delivery Affordability Attractiveness

Energiesprong: organising mass demand

How to address fuel poverty? Need for affordable renovations and modular new residential buildings

• EU between 50 and 125

million (20%) people are in fuel poverty.

• Energy subsidies and direct

financial support for household heating don’t provide long-term solution to fuel-poverty (BPIE 2014)

• No common definition
• Vigorous energy-renovation

measures offer a long-term answer

Multiple benefits of better building performance

Question #3 How to pay for renovation?

Question #4 How to deal with a changing energy market?

Buildings as micro-energy hubs

The value of H2020 H2020 calls (Sept 2016) cover most of these issues:

• NZEB and Cost-reduction (call EE-13)
• Upskilling workforce ( call EE-14)
• Deeper and higher renovation and market barriers

(EE-11)

• Fuel poverty (EE-06)
• Financing (EE-23-24-25)

One final question Do we have the appropriate policy framework?
