Article 3

Adoption of a methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings

Member States shall apply a methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings in accordance with the common general framework set out in Annex I.

This methodology shall be adopted at national or regional level.

Article 4

Setting of minimum energy performance requirements

1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that minimum energy performance requirements for buildings or building units are set with a view to achieving cost-optimal levels. The energy performance shall be calculated in accordance with the methodology referred to in Article 3. Cost-optimal levels shall be calculated in accordance with the comparative methodology framework referred to in Article 5 once the framework is in place.

Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that minimum energy performance requirements are set for building elements that form part of the building envelope and that have a significant impact on the energy performance of the building envelope when they are replaced or retrofitted, with a view to achieving cost-optimal levels.

When setting requirements, Member States may differentiate between new and existing buildings and between different categories of buildings.

These requirements shall take account of general indoor climate conditions, in order to avoid possible negative effects such as inadequate ventilation, as well as local conditions and the designated function and the age of the building.

A Member State shall not be required to set minimum energy performance requirements which are not cost-effective over the estimated economic lifecycle.

Minimum energy performance requirements shall be reviewed at regular intervals which shall not be longer than five years and, if necessary, shall be updated in order to reflect technical progress in the building sector.

2. Member States may decide not to set or apply the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 to the following categories of buildings: (a) buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment or because of their special architectural or historical merit, in so far as compliance with certain minimum energy performance requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance; (b) buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities; (c) temporary buildings with a time of use of two years or less, industrial sites, workshops and non-residential agricultural buildings with low energy demand and non-residential agricultural buildings which are in use by a sector covered by a national sectoral agreement on energy performance; (d) residential buildings which are used or intended to be used for either less than four months of the year or, alternatively, for a limited annual time of use and with an expected energy consumption of less than 25 % of what would be the result of all-year use; (e) stand-alone buildings with a total useful floor area of less than 50 m2.

Article 5

Calculation of cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements

1. The Commission shall establish by means of delegated acts in accordance with Articles 23, 24 and 25 by 30 June 2011 a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements.

The comparative methodology framework shall be established in accordance with Annex III and shall differentiate between new and existing buildings and between different categories of buildings.

2. Member States shall calculate cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements using the comparative methodology framework established in accordance with paragraph 1 and relevant parameters, such as climatic conditions and the practical accessibility of energy infrastructure, and compare the results of this calculation with the minimum energy performance requirements in force.

Member States shall report to the Commission all input data and assumptions used for those calculations and the results of those calculations. ►M2 ————— ◄ Member States shall submit those reports to the Commission at regular intervals, which shall not be longer than five years. The first report shall be submitted by 30 June 2012.

3. If the result of the comparison performed in accordance with paragraph 2 shows that the minimum energy performance requirements in force are significantly less energy efficient than cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements, the Member State concerned shall justify this difference in writing to the Commission in the report referred to in paragraph 2, accompanied, to the extent that the gap cannot be justified, by a plan outlining appropriate steps to significantly reduce the gap by the next review of the energy performance requirements as referred to in Article 4(1).

4. The Commission shall publish a report on the progress of the Member States in reaching cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements.

Article 7

Existing buildings

Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that when buildings undergo major renovation, the energy performance of the building or the renovated part thereof is upgraded in order to meet minimum energy performance requirements set in accordance with Article 4 in so far as this is technically, functionally and economically feasible.

Those requirements shall be applied to the renovated building or building unit as a whole. Additionally or alternatively, requirements may be applied to the renovated building elements.

Member States shall in addition take the necessary measures to ensure that when a building element that forms part of the building envelope and has a significant impact on the energy performance of the building envelope, is retrofitted or replaced, the energy performance of the building element meets minimum energy performance requirements in so far as this is technically, functionally and economically feasible.

Member States shall determine these minimum energy performance requirements in accordance with Article 4.

Article 11

Energy performance certificates

1. Member States shall lay down the necessary measures to establish a system of certification of the energy performance of buildings. The energy performance certificate shall include the energy performance of a building and reference values such as minimum energy performance requirements in order to make it possible for owners or tenants of the building or building unit to compare and assess its energy performance.

The energy performance certificate may include additional information such as the annual energy consumption for non-residential buildings and the percentage of energy from renewable sources in the total energy consumption.

2. The energy performance certificate shall include recommendations for the cost-optimal or cost-effective improvement of the energy performance of a building or building unit, unless there is no reasonable potential for such improvement compared to the energy performance requirements in force.

The recommendations included in the energy performance certificate shall cover:

(a) measures carried out in connection with a major renovation of the building envelope or technical building system(s); and

(b) measures for individual building elements independent of a major renovation of the building envelope or technical building system(s).

3. The recommendations included in the energy performance certificate shall be technically feasible for the specific building and may provide an estimate for the range of payback periods or cost-benefits over its economic lifecycle.

4. The energy performance certificate shall provide an indication as to where the owner or tenant can receive more detailed information, including as regards the cost-effectiveness of the recommendations made in the energy performance certificate. The evaluation of cost effectiveness shall be based on a set of standard conditions, such as the assessment of energy savings and underlying energy prices and a preliminary cost forecast. In addition, it shall contain information on the steps to be taken to implement the recommendations. Other information on related topics, such as energy audits or incentives of a financial or other nature and financing possibilities may also be provided to the owner or tenant.

5. Subject to national rules, Member States shall encourage public authorities to take into account the leading role which they should play in the field of energy performance of buildings, inter alia, by implementing the recommendations included in the energy performance certificate issued for buildings owned by them within its validity period.

6. Certification for building units may be based: (a) on a common certification of the whole building; or (b) on the assessment of another representative building unit with the same energy-relevant characteristics in the same building.

7. Certification for single-family houses may be based on the assessment of another representative building of similar design and size with a similar actual energy performance quality if such correspondence can be guaranteed by the expert issuing the energy performance certificate.

8. The validity of the energy performance certificate shall not exceed 10 years.

9. The Commission shall, by 2011, in consultation with the relevant sectors, adopt a voluntary common European Union certification scheme for the energy performance of non-residential buildings.

ANNEX I

Common general framework for the calculation of energy performance of buildings

(referred to in Article 3)

▼M1

1. Cinnfear feidhmíocht fuinnimh foirgnimh ar bhonn úsáide ríofa nó iarbhír fuinnimh agus léireofar léi a ghnáthúsáid do théamh spáis, fuarú spáis, uisce te tí, aeráil, soilsiú ionsuite agus córais theicniúla foirgneamh eile.

Cuirfear feidhmíocht fuinnimh foirgnimh in iúl trí tháscaire uimhriúil d’úsáid fuinnimh phríomha in kWh/(m2.y), a bheidh comhchuibhithe chun críocha feidhmíocht fuinnimh a dheimhniú agus íoscheanglais feidhmíochta fuinnimh a chomhlíonadh. Beidh an mhodheolaíocht a chuirfear i bhfeidhm chun feidhmíocht fuinnimh foirgnimh a chinneadh trédhearcach agus féadfaidh sí a bheith nuálaíoch.

Déanfaidh na Ballstáit cur síos ar a modheolaíocht ríomha náisiúnta ag cloí leis an gcreat iarscríbhinne náisiúnta de chaighdeáin uileghabhálacha, eadhon ISO 52000-1, 52003-1, 52010-1, 52016-1, agus 52018-1, a forbraíodh faoi shainordú M/480 a tugadh don Choiste Eorpach um Chaighdeánú (CEN). Ní hionann an fhoráil seo agus códú dlíthiúil na gcaighdeán sin.

2. Déanfar na riachtanais fuinnimh do théamh spáis, fuarú spáis, uisce te tí, aeráil, soilsiú, agus córais theicniúla foirgneamh eile a ríomh d’fhonn sláinte, caighdeán aeir laistigh agus leibhéil chompoird a shainmhíníonn na Ballstáit ar an leibhéal náisiúnta nó réigiúnach a optamú.

Déanfar ríomh an fhuinnimh phríomha a bhunú ar phríomhthosca fuinnimh nó príomhthosca ualaithe in aghaidh an iompróir fuinnimh, a fhéadfar a bhunú ar mheáin ualaithe bhliantúla náisiúnta, réigiúnacha nó áitiúil, agus b’fhéidir séasúrach nó míosúil freisin, nó ar fhaisnéis níos sonraithe a chuirfear ar fáil do chóras ceantair aonair.

Déanfaidh na Ballstáit na príomhthosca fuinnimh nó na príomhthosca ualaithe a shainmhíniú. Agus na tosca sin maidir le ríomh feidhmíochta fuinnimh á gcur i bhfeidhm, áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go saothrófar feidhmíocht fuinnimh an imchlúdaigh foirgneamh is fearr is féidir.

Agus na príomhthosca fuinnimh á ríomh chun críche feidhmíocht fuinnimh foirgneamh a ríomh, féadfaidh na Ballstáit foinsí in-athnuaite fuinnimh a sholáthraítear tríd an iompróir fuinnimh agus foinsí in-athnuaite fuinnimh a ghintear agus a úsáidtear ar an láthair a chur san áireamh, ar choinníoll go gcuirtear i bhfeidhm é ar bhonn neamh-idirdhealaitheach.

▼M1

2a. D’fhonn feidhmíocht fuinnimh foirgnimh a chur in iúl, féadfaidh na Ballstáit táscairí breise uimhriúla den phríomhúsáid fuinnimh iomlán, neamh-in-athnuaite agus in-athnuaite, agus astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa a tháirgtear in kgCO2eq/(m2.y) a shainmhíniú.

ANNEX III

Comparative methodology framework to identify cost-optimal levels of energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements

The comparative methodology framework shall enable Member States to determine the energy performance of buildings and building elements and the economic aspects of measures relating to the energy performance, and to link them with a view to identifying the cost-optimal level.

The comparative methodology framework shall be accompanied by guidelines outlining how to apply this framework in the calculation of cost-optimal performance levels.

The comparative methodology framework shall allow for taking into account use patterns, outdoor climate conditions, investment costs, building category, maintenance and operating costs (including energy costs and savings), earnings from energy produced, where applicable, and disposal costs, where applicable. It should be based on relevant European standards relating to this Directive.

The Commission shall also provide:

— guidelines to accompany the comparative methodology framework; these guidelines will serve to enable the Member States to undertake the steps listed below,

— information on estimated long-term energy price developments.

For the application of the comparative methodology framework by Member States, general conditions, expressed by parameters, shall be laid down at Member State level.

The comparative methodology framework shall require Member States to:

— define reference buildings that are characterised by and representative of their functionality and geographic location, including indoor and outdoor climate conditions. The reference buildings shall cover residential and non-residential buildings, both new and existing ones,

— define energy efficiency measures to be assessed for the reference buildings. These may be measures for individual buildings as a whole, for individual building elements, or for a combination of building elements,

— assess the final and primary energy need of the reference buildings and the reference buildings with the defined energy efficiency measures applied,

— calculate the costs (i.e. the net present value) of the energy efficiency measures (as referred to in the second indent) during the expected economic lifecycle applied to the reference buildings (as referred to in the first indent) by applying the comparative methodology framework principles.

By calculating the costs of the energy efficiency measures during the expected economic lifecycle, the cost-effectiveness of different levels of minimum energy performance requirements is assessed by the Member States. This will allow the determination of cost-optimal levels of energy performance requirements.
