  1. DST, Decision Support Tool for energy-efficient and sustainable renovation of dwellings • What is a DST? • DST is a tool, containing simple guidelines to help energy-efficient and sustainable renovation of dwellings. • DEMOHOUSE project aims to develop minimum standards for energy-efficient and sustainable renovation of dwellings. • Main decisions in relation to ambitions in energy-efficiency, sustainability, economic feasibility and occupants’ participation take place in the first, or the initiative phase. • For whom is the DST? • The Decision Support Tool is focusing on decision makers (for example housing association managers, home owners association, etc. ). • The tool also contains practical and in-depth information of relevance to: architects, energy experts, building contractors, and building users. • What kind of decisions are supported with the DST? • Decision making process towards facilitating energy-efficient and sustainable renovation of dwellings.

Why energy efficient renovations ?

  3. Enhanced Property Value • Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a factor in the value or selling price of dwellings. • Customers are increasingly becoming prepared to pay for improved living comfort. • The EPBD, Energy Performance Building Directive, energy label of the dwelling will influence its market position. • A ‘good’ EPBD energy label results in a positive image for marketing and selling purposes. DST home page Property Value Lettability Energy Labeling Comfort Social Status Living Costs Environment How energy efficient renovations ? Why energy efficient renovations ?

  4. Improved Lettability • If tenants can choose between a label A and label Cdwelling, they will prefer the label A. • In a mild rental housing market, energy efficiency (the EPBD energy label) will influence lettability. • Satisfied inhabitants are the best advertisements for energy efficient house retrofit. DST home page Property Value Lettability Energy Labeling Comfort Social Status Living Costs Environment How energy efficient renovations ? Why energy efficient renovations ?

  5. Improved Building Energy Labeling After Renovation • EPBD, Energy Performance Building Directive label reflects the energy efficiency of a dwelling on a scale from A to G. • Label A reflects the best energy performance and label G reflects the lowest energy performance. • Energy Efficient renovation will yield a higher label. • It is the obligation of the building owner to hand over an Energy Performance Certificate that shows the energy performance of the dwelling with the corresponding EPBD label when selling or letting a dwelling.

  6. Comfort • Comfortable indoor climate as a result of eliminating heat losses and cold draughts with high level of insulation and air-tightness of the building skin, in particular around windows. • Sound reduction using energy efficient and air-tight fitted windows and doors in addition to draught reduction. • Prevention of condensation on indoor surfaces, thus preventing growth of moulds and fungus. • Prevention of moist indoor air penetrating the structure, causing condensation resulting in possible structural damages due to decay, corrosion and frost. • The constant air renewal with a mechanical ventilation system provides good indoor air quality, removing odours and harmful indoor pollutants. • Thermal comfort for tenants. Comfortable room temperatures all year round. DST home page Property Value Lettability Energy Labeling Comfort Social Status Living Costs Environment How energy efficient renovations ?

  12. Barriers and opportunities for an energy-efficient and sustainable renovation Financial • Profitability: increased height of investment is regarded as a barrier, while increased market value at the same time can be an opportunity. • Financial consequences for the tenants: rent increase (barrier) versus lower living costs (opportunity). • Marketability: need for extra promotional effort (barrier) versus higher appeal to potential buyers and enter new markets (opportunities). • High payback times and higher economical risks can be a barrier, while banks are considering energy efficiency as a new field of interest. DST home page ArchitecturalFinancial Legal Social Technical How energy efficient renovations ? Why energy efficient renovations ?

  13. Barriers and opportunities for an energy-efficient and sustainable renovation Financial • One of the main barriers of energy efficient renovation is the extra investment required, compared to a ‘standard’ or ‘business as usual’ renovation. • Several options exist to (help) overcome the financial barrier, e.g novel financial models: DST home page ESCO, Energy Service Company Low Cost components e.g. HRV-unit Roof top apartment ArchitecturalFinancial Legal Social Technical How energy efficient renovations ? Why energy efficient renovations ?

  14. Barriers and opportunities for an energy-efficient and sustainable renovation Legal and administrative issues • Legal and administrative constraints (permits, procedures) can be a barrier. • Lack of existing legislation can be a barrier. • Governmental institutions encouraging sustainability in buildings can be an opportunity. DST home page ArchitecturalFinancial Legal Social Technical How energy efficient renovations ? Why energy efficient renovations ?

  15. Barriers and opportunities for an energy-efficient and sustainable renovation • Social • Usually there is a high percentage of support needed amongst the present tenants for collective measures. • Even when tenant consensus is not formally required, the tenants will be more willing to cooperate and be happier with the result if they can have a say in the process. • If tenants can participate in finding solutions, they will be more readily accepted. • Lack of knowledge can be a motivational problem. Visit to efficient-renovation examples and monitored results can be used to inform and educate tenants. • Temporary re-housing during construction works is an additional barrier for support of the present occupants. • Keeping the renovation period as short as possible to avoid length of temporary re-housing. Offering bonus tickets to visit local attractions, parks, etc. can greatly please the tenants. DST home page ArchitecturalFinancial Legal Social Technical How energy efficient renovations ? Why energy efficient renovations ?

  16. Barriers and opportunities for an energy-efficient and sustainable renovation Technical • Some solutions require complex installations that people may not understand how to use. As a result, energy savings will be lower than expected. Try to use user friendly technologies/interfaces. • Experience shows that in any renovation process, errors or failures occur. With Quality Control during the renovation, these can be corrected. • More information Thermohraphic Camera test • More information Blower Door test • Lack of knowledge/technical know-how can be a barrier in the steps of the building process. However, once the knowledge/experience is gained, it will be a competitiveadvantage. DST home page ArchitecturalFinancial Legal Social Technical How energy efficient renovations ?

  17. How to do an energy-efficient, affordable and sustainable renovation? Is addressed through three main aspects categorised as: DST home page Technical aspect Financial aspect Social aspect Financial aspect Technical aspect Social aspect

  18. Technical aspect • The first step in a renovation is to set the target for the energy consumption. A good indicator is the energy need for heating per m2 of floor area per annum (kWh/m2a). • One m3 of natural gas or 1 liter of oil equals about 10 kWh of heat. So the indicator for a dwelling of 100 m2 consuming 1500 m3 of natural gas per year is 1500 x 10 kWh/a/ 100 m2 or 150 kWh/m2a, (where the a stands for annual or yearly). • Typically a household use 300-500 m3 of gas for DHW (Domestic Hot Water) so if you only know the total gas consumption, this number has to be deducted from the total to arrive at the number for space heating. • Some low energy values for space heating: • - 15 kWh/m2a to reach the German Passive House Standard for new built. • - 25-30 kWh/m2a for a ‘Passive House’ renovation. • - 50 kWh/m2a for a low energy building. • - 100 kwh/m2a for a typically built.

  19. Technical aspect • The first step in energy efficient renovation is minimising the demand, by the following 3 steps: • Insulating of the building skin (walls, high efficiency glazing). • 2. Minimising the air leakage to avoid ‘infiltration (unwanted cold air entering the building). • Heat recovery in the ventilation system. • The second step is introduction of renewable energy (solar collectors, PhotoVoltaic or PV cells) • The final step is introduction of efficient equipment, such as a condensing gas fired boiler or heat pump. • When the target level for energy in the renovation is set and a general idea is formed on which measures to invest, the design team can work on design and technical specification of the renovation.

  25. The Green Build Questionnaire • The Green Build Questionnaire is based on the Danish developed Green Build Tool, which works as an energy and environmental point system. • It was developed by Cenergia, Denmark. • When used the questionnaire assess all sustainable renovation building measures included in the renovation project. • This includes measures concerning sustainability related to: • - Water, rainwater and sewage • - Indoor air climate • - Materials and constructions • - Waste • - Energy • - Building and urban development area • The user should use the questionnaire in two phases: • - 1. Provides guidance through intentions in the renovation. • - 2. Provides advise on optimum renovation measures at the kick-off of the building process when all renovation details are known. • As a result, the energy and environmental points get one of the A to M rating categories.

  27. Construction Quality Control Techniques Thermographic Camera Test • Construction Quality Control in the course of the renovation appears to be very important in order to reveal potential faults within construction work. • In the Austrian Demohouse project project, thermographic photographs taken after the renovation revealed missing parts of insulation of the building envelope. As a result the contractor was responsible for repair. • The price of the thermographic quality control investigation by a specialist company is a fraction of the overall building cost (typically around 1000 €). • The long term benefits of giving finding out and correcting incorrect placement of insulation, cold bridges, air leakages outweight the costs of cost of investigation.

  28. In the Danish Demohouse project, repeated blower door tests in the course of the renovation proved very useful to correct failures in achieving the air-tightness required. • Construction Quality Control Techniques • Blower Door Test • In an energy-efficient renovation heat losses through unintentional air changes must be minimised by ensuring an air tight building envelope • In a blower door test, the dwelling is pressurised to • 50 Pa (0.0005 of normal atmospheric pressure) and corresponding air flow is measured. The leakier the building, the higher the air flow. • The air flow is related to the size of the building and expressed as infiltration rate n50 (the subscript 50 denotes at 50 Pa). So an n50 of 1 per hour means that each hour an amount of air is moving through the dwelling equal to the volume of the dwelling (at 50 Pa overpressure). • Under normal circumstances the pressure difference between indoor and outdoor is less than 50Pa. As a guideline, the air exchange rate (from wind pressure etc.) equals n50/20. • The German Passive House standard requires an n50 of 0.6 per hour or less. • Good practice in renovation is an n50 of 2.0 per hour or less.

  30. Energy Signature • Is a procedure to document the overall energy use for space and water heating. • The procedure entails plotting the weekly (or monthly energy consumption per m2 of floor area versus the average ambient temperature in that period (week or month). • The lower the ambient temperature, the higher the energy consumption for space heating. The slope of the line is an indication of the thermal quality of the building (the lower the slope, the better) • In summertime (average ambient temperature 15°C or more), there should be no energy demand for space heating. Remaining energy demand is for DHW and should be around 10 kWh/m2. Higher values indicate there could be something not working well in the heating system.

Common Evaluation Protocol • Is to be used as basis for evaluation of housing projects in terms of improvement of sustainability, energy and socio-economic aspects. • The format of the evaluation protocol includes 3 parts: • 1. The documentation part. • 2. The evaluation part. • The evaluation is split into: • - Pre-renovation evaluation carried out before the start of the renovation works. • - Evaluation during the renovation process. • Post-renovation evaluation, in short post-renovation carried out after the end of the renovation works. • 3.
