6 Understanding Building Energy Use Energy follows Function Buildings don t use energy people do: comfort/commodity/delight People don t demand energy, they demand energy services:

7 Understanding Building Energy Use: Function: 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:

8 Delight Context: Examine the site conditions, climate, daylight, sonic environment Understanding Building Energy Use: Form & Function: Commodity Desirable or acceptable conditions: Establish the limits of temperatures, lighting, air movement, acceptable noise levels, space requirement Lifecycle embodied energy: Create space in the most material efficient & life-cycle considerate way Passive service: Attempt passive control of light, heat & sound Energy-based service: Provide energybased services only for the residual control tasks (Szokolay, 2004) Centrally Planned Asia, Total thermal energy use, Urban & Rural / All buildings, All V BAU 2X Energy Demand by 2050 in centrally planned Asia Source: BEPS Page 1 You are free to use this information under the conditions of the Creative Commons CC BY License and you must state the source of dat Buildings Performance Network, 2014".

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) Reconstruction according to Before reconstruction the passive house principle over 150 kwh/(m²a) 15 kwh/(m²a) -90% Source: Jan Barta, Center for Passive Buildings, EEBW2006

23 Scenario An influential NGO is urging for all new construction to be nearly zero energy buildings. What factors are key to achieving zero energy buildings?

24 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 carbonfree and low impact energy, taking into account all the costs and benefits and the reliability of various options.

25 Discussion 2015

26 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?
