1 Building Audit October 1, 2009 Frank Schipper

2 Algemeen Quality control Accreditation commission Certification institute BRL 9500 EP consultant Certificate Clients

3 2 type of advice Energy certificate Energy performance detailed advice Energy certificate Energy performance detailed advice

4 Energy performance NL Definition Energy Index EI = Q total /Q permitted Q permitted = α A envelope + β A floors

5 Standard data for buildings Why standard data? Label for the building not the user Comparison between buildings

6 Standard data for: Meteo data, temperature and solar radiation Inside temperature (different functions) Usage time, usage factors Infiltration Minimum ventilation Humidification Internal heat (persons and office equipment) Lighting (burning houres) Hot water production

7 Audit building Collect data Surfaces Drawings (Building and installation) Audit and site measuring Preparation Ground plans on A4/A3 format Accessibility of rooms Building boundaries

8 Intake Digital photo camera, spring rule, lighter, flashlight, compass, knitting needle Interview care taker

9 Where do we have to look for Are the drawings correct? Building envelope (m2, U-value, orientation) Transparent parts (m2, U-value, orientation, shading) Gross area Different functions (office, school, restaurant, ) Different climate systems Repetition Exeptions Technical rooms Roof and basement

10 every room check: Ventilation system (in, out, control) Heating system (distribution, control) Cooling system (distribution, control) Lighting (type, W, control) Windows (glass type, frame type, shading) Repetition Exceptions

11 Advice for energy saving: Office equipment Server Elevators No-break systems, back-up systems Telecommunication Control of the installation (GBS) Outside lighting Kitchen equipment

12 Lets go!

13 Separation in building parts Different climate installations no yes >90% of the building has the same climate installation yes One building part no Split up the building in more building parts One building part

14 Separation in energy sectors Different combinations within one building part no yes >90% of the building has the same climate installation yes One energy sector no Split up the building in more energy sectors One energy sector

15 Separation in building functions Different functions within one energy sector no yes >90% of the building has the same function yes Energy sector has one function no Energy sector has more building functions Energy sector has one function
