Tightening the EPB-requirements: turning the potential into reality - Brainstorming and discussion document
The work programme of the European project ASIEPI, as established in 2006, set as objective to investigate possible methods to compare the energy performance requirements among different countries. In the mean time, the recast of the EPBD has been developed. Observing that comparing the requirements between countries is not only extremely difficult at the present time, but also not the most relevant approach (given the different boundary conditions in different countries, e.g. for costs of labour and materials), the recast now calls for an internal economic analysis within each country in order to establish requirements that are cost-optimum or better. This new approach was outside the contractual scope of the ASIEPI project, and not many resources could be allocated to study the issues related to this different way of doing. Still, based on the general familiarity of the project partners with energy performance regulations, some elementary considerations on this complementary topic have been put onto paper in the framework of the project. This brainstorming and discussion paper may serve as an inventory of some of the many challenges in order to achieve a sustained reduction of the energy consumption in reality.
