4 Understanding Building Energy Use Buildings don t use energy people do: comfort/commodity/delight People don t demand energy, they demand energy services: heating/cooling/ventilation/sanitation hot water/cooking/refrigeration/lighting entertainment/internet/communications Buildings are a piece of energy infrastructure: conservation (insulation/thermal mass/embodied energy) production (e.g. BiPV, CHP) adaptation & resilience Source:

8 Building Energy Use: Comfort Different Building uses create different comfort challenges: Commercial/Public Buildings: mainly cooling & lighting Residential Buildings: heating/cooling depending on climate C making B match A Ensure the required indoor conditions with little or no use of energy, other than from ambient or renewable sources. (Szokolay, 2004) Source:

9 Building Energy Use: Commodity Examine the context: site conditions, climate, daylight, sonic environment Establish the limits of desirable or acceptable conditions: temperatures, lighting, air movement, acceptable noise levels, space requirement Attempt to create space in the most material efficient & life cycle considerate way Attempt to control the variables of light, heat & sound by passive means as far as practical Provide energy based services only for the residual control tasks (Szokolay, 2004) BAU 2X Energy Demand by 2050 in centrally planned Asia Source: BEPS

20 Review Questions What are the most important energy services required for buildings to provide in your jurisdiction? What factors are driving demand for energy services in your jurisdiction? Which building type offers the greatest energy savings potential? Which policy measures might reduce demand for space cooling and growth in electricity consumption? Which policy measures might influence the behaviour of building occupants to promote energy conservation?

21 Buildings energy efficiency sessions done in partnership with: Energy Efficiency Training Week Where to start: Understanding building energy use Buildings Session 1

22 Building energy use Buildings account for: more than one third global final energy demand 60% of the world s electricity use, one third of energy related CO 2 emissions, two thirds of halocarbon, and 25 33% of black carbon emissions (GEA 2012) Other sectors 4% Transport 31% 4% 11% 22% Coal Oil Natural gas Industry 31% Buildings 35% 28% 5% 30% Electricity Commercial heat Renewables Global Final Energy Demand, 2012

32 Example of savings by reconstruction. Czech Republic We can build and retrofit buildings to achieve 60 90% savings as compared to standard practice in all climate zones (providing similar or increased service levels) Before reconstruction over 150 kwh/(m²a) Reconstruction according to the passive house principle 15 kwh/(m²a) -90% Source: Jan Barta, Center for Passive Buildings, EEBW2006

33 Net Zero Energy Buildings In aiming for zero fossil fuel energy use as quickly as possible, an economical energy strategy would implement some combination of: reduced demand for energy; use of available waste heat from industrial, commercial, or decentralized electricity production; on-site production of sustainable energy; Combined with off-site supply of carbon-free and low impact energy, taking into account all the costs and benefits and the reliability of various options.
