Energy performance of buildings - Application of calculation of energy use to existing buildings

Energy labelling of buildings requires a method valid for both new and existing buildings, and treating them in an equivalent way.
In new buildings all required information exists to compute energy use, when necessary using conventional occupancy data; but the actual energy use is not available. In existing buildings, actual energy use is known in some cases from energy meters, but often some information, such as U-values of components or actual air change rate is missing. Since energy use for space heating and cooling strongly depends on occupants' behaviour and that different uses are involved, actual energy use cannot be used for energy labelling of the building without correction.
Therefore, a methodology should be developed to get the same results from different sets of data. The work will propose a methodology to assess missing data and to calculate a "standard" energy use for space heating and cooling. This work item also includes a methodology that allows determining the energy effectiveness of possible improvements.

Introduction
Energy assessments of buildings are carried out for various purposes, such as:
a) Judging compliance with building regulations expressed in terms of a limitation on energy use or a related
quantity;
b) Transparency in commercial operations through the certification and/or display of a level of energy
performance (energy certification);
c) Monitoring of the energy efficiency of the building including heating, ventilation and air conditioning
systems
d) Helping in planning retrofit measures, through prediction of energy savings which would result from
various actions.
Energy certification of buildings requires a method that is applicable to both new and existing buildings, and
which treats them in an equivalent way. Therefore, a methodology to obtain equivalent results from different
sets of data is presented in this standard. A methodology to assess missing data and to calculate a "standard"
energy use for space heating and cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting is provided. This
standard also includes a methodology that allows assessment of the energy effectiveness of possible
improvements.
Two principal types of ratings for buildings are proposed in this standard:
1) The asset rating is obtained by calculation for standardised conditions, but there can be different
ways of assembling the input data – from drawings and design values for new buildings, from
drawings, site surveys and rules derived from building typology for existing buildings, and by
improving on the latter by making use of metered energy.
2) The operational rating is obtained by metering and summing up all delivered energywares.
Because of the differences in the way these two ratings are obtained, they cannot be compared directly.
However, the difference between the two ratings for the same building can be used to assess the cumulative
effects of actual construction, systems and operating conditions versus standard ones and the contribution of
energy uses not included in the asset rating.

1 Scope
This standard defines the uses of energy to be taken into account for setting energy performance ratings for
new and existing buildings, and provides:
a) A method to compute the asset rating, a standard energy use that does not depend on occupant
behaviour, actual weather and other actual (environment or input) conditions. For this, occupancy, climate
and some other data that do not depend on the building itself are conventional ones, depending on the
intended use of the building and on the climatic zone considered.
b) A method to assess the operational rating, based on the delivered energy.
c) A methodology to improve confidence in the building calculation model by comparison with actual energy
consumption.
d) A method to assess the energy effectiveness of possible improvements.
It is up to national bodies to define under which conditions and for which types of buildings the various ratings
apply.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 7345 and the following
apply.
3.1
rating
evaluation of the energy performance of a building based on the weighted sum of the calculated or metered
use of energy carriers.
3.2
asset rating
rating based on calculations of the energy used by a building for heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water and
lighting, with standard input data related to internal and external climates and occupancy
NOTE It represents the intrinsic energy potential of a building under standardised conditions of weather and
occupancy This is particularly relevant to certification of standard performance. The asset rating represents a weighted
sum per energyware of the total energy for heating, hot water heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting. This rating
quantifies the calculated energy intensity of the building under standardised conditions for a given set of energy end uses.
3.3
design rating
rating based on calculations using building drawings and design values, calculated for a building at the design
phase
NOTE The design rating is calculated on the basis of building plans, whereas the asset rating is calculated using data
for the building as actually constructed.
3.4
tailored rating
rating based on calculations of the energy used by the building for heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water and
lighting, with actual climate and occupancy data
3.5
operational rating
rating based on measured energy use
NOTE The operational rating is the weighted sum of all energywares used by the building. It is a measure of the in-
use performance of the building. This is particularly relevant to certification of actual performance The operational rating
represents the sum per energyware of the total energy used by the building, as measured by meters or other means
described in Annex B. This rating quantifies the total actual energy use of the building.
3.6
building
inhabited construction as a whole, including its envelope, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning
systems
3.7
new building
building at design stage or under construction or (for operational rating) too recently constructed to have
reliable records of energy use
3.8
existing building
building that is erected, for which actual data necessary to assess the energy use according to this standard
are known or can be measured
3.9
building calculation model
mathematical model of the building used to calculate its energy use
7

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
prEN 15203 :2005 (E)

to assess the energy use for all purposes.
3.10
validated building calculation model
building calculation model in which one or more parameters are adjusted so that its results do not significantly
differ from the measured reality
3.11
confidence interval
interval that has a high probability (e.g. 95 %) to include the actual value
NOTE Annex D provides ways to assess such intervals.
3.12
reasonably possible
can be achieved at a reasonable cost
3.13
reasonable cost
investment that is accepted by all parties to reach a given purpose
NOTE This cost strongly depends on the purpose of the effort. For example, the cost of a rating could be relatively
large if it is to provide an official certificate to put the building on the market or for displaying the building performance to
the public, but reduced if it is simply for statistical purpose.
3.14
energy carrier
substance or phenomenon that can be used to produce mechanical work or heat or to operate chemical or
physical processes [ISO 13600:1997]
3.15
energyware
tradable commodity used mainly to produce mechanical work or heat, or to operate chemical or physical
processes, and listed in Annex A of ISO 13600. [ISO 13600:1997]
NOTE Energywares form a proper subset of energy carriers. The set of energy carriers is open.
3.16
energyware consumption system
technical energy system consuming energyware and in many cases also other energy carriers and producing
products and services [ISO 13600:1997]
NOTE Buildings are such systems.
3.17
renewable energy
energy from sources that will not be exhausted during the lifetime of mankind, such as solar energy (thermal
and photovoltaic), wind, hydraulic, biomass
NOTE In ISO 13602-1:2002, renewable resource is defined as 'natural resource for which the ratio of the creation of
the natural resource to the output of that resource from nature to the technosphere is equal to or greater than one.
3.18
primary energy
energy that has not been subjected to any conversion or transformation process
NOTE For a building, it is the energy used to produce the energy delivered to the building. It is the delivered energy

NOTE The boundaries of the building include all internal and external areas associated with the building, where
energy is consumed or produced (see 5.1). The energy produced by the building itself, for example using solar water
heater, photovoltaic systems or co-generation and delivered back to the market is reported separately. Delivered energy is
presented per energyware.
3.19
energy use of a building

Article 2 of the EPBD , but they are in fact included in the total energy use of the building.
3.20
auxiliary energy
energy used by heating, cooling, domestic water, lighting and ventilation systems to transform the delivered
energy into the useful energy
NOTE This includes energy for fans, pumps, pilot flames, electronics, etc., but not the energy that is transformed.

5 Assessment of energy use of buildings
5.1 Building boundaries
The boundaries for the energy performance assessment shall be clearly defined for all energy carriers before
the calculation. It includes all inside and outside areas associated with the building, where energy is
consumed or produced.
For insulated buildings, it is defined by the building envelope for heat flows, the main building meters for gas,
electricity, district heating and water, the loading port of the storage facility for liquid and solid energywares,
and the smoke exhaust of chimney and connection to main wastewater duct for losses.
If a part of a building system (e.g.boiler, chiller, cooling tower, etc.) is outside the building envelope, it is
nevertheless considered to be inside the boundaries.
A building may refer to a group of adjacent buildings as a whole or parts thereof that have been designed or
altered to be used separately. If one building in a row of similar buildings are to be assessed, heat flows
through partition walls are neglected in the balance.
If adjacent buildings do not have the same type of use, and hence not the same internal design or actual
temperature, heat flows through partition walls are taken into account in the balance.
NOTE In many cases, buildings in rows have the same use and, for calculation purposes, the internal temperature of
all the buildings can be assumed to be the same, and these partition walls can be taken to be adiabatic. However, if the
external envelope is well insulated and partition walls are not, these heat flows can contribute an appreciable amount of
heat gains and losses.
The way the building envelope is considered to calculate heat flows is defined in prEN wi 14.
5.2 Types of ratings
This standard proposes two principal options for energy rating of buildings, the first being calculated, the
second being based on measurements. These options are the asset rating and the operational rating.
10

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
prEN 15203:2005 (E)

Figure 1 — The operational rating includes all energy uses under actual conditions, while the asset
rating includes only some uses, and for standard conditions
The asset rating is based on calculations of the energy used by the building for heating, cooling, ventilation,
hot water and lighting, with standard input data related to climate and occupancy (see 7.2). This rating
provides an assessment of the energy efficiency of the building under standardised conditions that enables a
comparison to be made between different buildings within climatic main regions and with identical or at least
similar activities.
The operational rating is based on measurement of energy use (see Clause 8). The operational rating
measures the in-use performance of a building, including all deviations between theoretical properties in
calculations and realised properties (air-infiltration, heat transfer, generation efficiency, control, etc.) and is
influenced by the way the building is maintained and operated. It cannot therefore be used to provide
prospective purchasers or tenants with like-for-like comparisons between buildings. It assists those trying to
improve the efficiency of building operation and allows displaying the actual energy performance of a building.
It can also provide useful feedback to the owners, occupiers and designers of new buildings if assessed a few
years after occupation and compared to the calculated asset rating, for the same set of energy end uses.
Only asset rating and operational ratings are used for building energy performance certification.
The design rating is similar to the asset rating, but based on building drawing and design intentions. It can be
used to get a building permit.
The tailored rating is an asset rating, in which either actual climatic data or actual occupancy related data or
both are used instead of standard ones. This can be used to compare two buildings having different climates
or different uses, to compare retrofit scenarios, to optimise energy performance, etc.
The calculation models and input used for the asset rating can be validated against the operational rating,
providing more confidence in the model (see Clause 9). The validated model can then be used to compute a
more accurate asset rating, or to study the effect of retrofit scenarios.
The types of rating are summarised in Table 3. The type of rating (asset rating or operational rating) to be
used for certification of different building types is defined in national regulations.
