Markus Pieper, , Herbert Reul => most reluctant! Studies showcasing the importance of optimizing the energy performance of Technical Building Systems An overview

Case study 1: A study carried out by Cardonnel Ingéniérie demonstrates that replacing thermal heating and cooling equipment can result in energy savings of 25 to 40% combined with payback times of 5 to 10 years depending on the type of the building. Upgrading the envelope of the same buildings, however, requires payback times of 24 to 28 years, achieving energy savings from 40% to 50%.

Case study 2: A study carried out by Kirsten Gram-Hanssen study on efficient technologies shows that energy certification and passive efficiency technologies like insulation are not sufficient to ensure expected energy efficiency due to the rebound effect in the human user behaviour. The first step to enable energy friendly behaviour is to ensure metering of system performance and then mitigate deviations by active TBS controls.

Case study 3: A study conducted by DG Energy on energy saving potentials in the industry sector highlights the importance of an integrated control system and demonstrates that building controls are key to reduce energy consumption in existing commercial and industry facilities.

Case study 4: A study conducted by Waide Strategic Efficiency shows that incremental investments are nine times less than the value of the resulting savings in energy bills. Proper application of building automated technology and controls has the theoretical potential to save about 22% of building energy consumption by 2021.

Basics: • Appropriate dimensioning (e.g. sizing of pumps) • Proper installation (e.g. insulation of pipes) • System adjustments (e.g. hydronic balancing, thermostatic radiator valves) High performance: • BACS • Monitoring Ecofys Study – Savings Potential

30% average energy savings potential by optimising technical building systems Tour de table on each association‘s priorities EPEE position on the EPBD EPEE specific proposals on TBS

• Ensure that full load and part load conditions are taken into account when assessing the energy performance of technical building systems

• Three step approach to mandatory inspections and BACS: 1. mandatory regular inspections for all buildings with a technical building system of an effective rated output of over 70kW 2. mandatory requirements to install continuous electronic monitoring and effective control functionalities for residential buildings with centralised technical building systems of a cumulated effective rated output of over 100 kW 3. mandatory requirements to install active BACS for large non-residential buildings with total primary energy use of over 250 MWh per year

• Ensure that inspections for buildings with smaller equipment are done at regular intervals (every two years) and that inspections also cover ventilation

• Ensure that inspections are followed by servicing and maintenance of the accessible parts of technical buildings systems, if assessed by the inspection as being needed(amendments 5 & 6 in Annex I) What is your position?

Association Priorities AREA • Mandatory inspetions with current thresholds, inspections cannot be replaced completely by Bacs • Ventilation need to be included • Regularity of inspections should be harmonised COGDEM/FIGAWA • Mandatory inspections for heating systems • Health & safety requirements for heating systems EU.BAC • Mandatory BACs, complementary with inspections. • Definition of BACs needed (limitation of TBS in Art 8.5 and the changes made to Art.14/15 by Member States are worrying)

EUROACE • All energy using equipment should be considered TBS • Mandatory BACs and mandatory inspections with lower thresholds (concerned with 3rd alternative to inspections introduced by Member States) • Regular inspections every 2 years EHI • Small buildings are excluded of EC and EP proposal so EHI suggests Mandatory inspections with light inspections regime for smaller buildings • Labelling of installed boilers EHPA • Need for harmonised recommendations form the Commission for the inspections of TBS EVIA • Need for requirements on IAQ • Mandatory regular inspections of ventilation system annd BACs as an alternative GCP • Mandatory inspections, inspetions and Bacs are complementary • Inspections of ventilation systems REHVA • IEQ is a priority and ventilation should be included • Need to widen definition of TBS for all technologies to be included (thermal control) • Mandatory inspections and mandatory BACs for big buildings • CEN standards are important • Smartness indicator focused on IAQ SMART ENERGY • BACs enable demand response DEMAND • Mandatory requirements of BACs in all new buildings and renovated buildings Where can we join forces?
