Framework Guidelines for Energy Efficiency Standards in Buildings

Framework Guidelines for Energy Efficiency Standards in Buildings Oleg Dzioubinski UNECE Sustainable Energy Division

Environmental impact of buildings In the developed world, buildings are responsible for: • consuming over 70% of the electrical power generated • consuming 40% of primary energy • 40% of CO 2 emissions from combustion

Environmental impact of buildings • Developing countries will need to accommodate 2. 4 billion new urban residents by 2050

Environmental impact of buildings • In Europe 75 -90% of buildings standing today are expected to remain in use in 2050

UNECE and EE Standards in Buildings Joint Task Force on Energy Efficiency Standards in Buildings in the UNECE Region • Committee on Sustainable Energy and the Committee on Housing and Land Management • Sustainable Development Goals – SDG 7 (and others) • Sustainable Energy for All Initiative • Geneva UN Charter on Sustainable Housing

Joint Task Force on EE Standards in Buildings in the UNECE Region Planned activities: • (a) Mapping energy efficiency standards in buildings and preparing gap analyses • (b) Evaluating options for the development, adoption or promotion of energy efficiency standards in buildings • (c) Preparing guidance materials • (d) Promoting partnerships with other international organizations • (e) Establishing a network of experts on energy efficiency in buildings • (f) Developing and organizing training programmes

Framework guidelines for EE standards in buildings A holistic, systems approach to building design, delivery and operation

Framework guidelines for EE standards in buildings Buildings as energy producers and not solely or primarily as energy sinks

Framework guidelines for EE standards in buildings The energy required by buildings can be reduced to a level that can be supplied largely, perhaps exclusively, by non-carbon-based energy

Framework guidelines for EE standards in buildings Annual energy consumption • building heating and cooling requirements – up to 25 k. Wh/m 2 • total primary energy use in buildings’ conditioned spaces, including heating, ventilation, cooling and hot water, can be limited to 45 k. Wh/m 2 • including plug-in loads (appliances) – up to 90 k. Wh/m 2
