EnergyConsumption in Buildings • Buildingsaccount for 40% of total energyconsumption in theEuropeanunion • Whatabout Portugal? • In 2010 the final consumptionofservices + domestic sector represented 55% ofthe final energyconsumption • Do youthinkthatthefractionofprimaryenergywouldbehigherorlower?

RCCTE – Indoor & Outdoor Conditions RCCTE - Outdoor conditions Reference Indoor conditions • 20ºC in heating season • 25ºC and 50% relative humidity in the cooling season • Consumption of 40 liters of water at 60ºC/occupant . day Reference Outdoor conditions: • Portugal is divided in winter and summer climatic zones
RCCTE – Outdoor Conditions RCCTE - Outdoor conditions Reference Outdoor conditions:
RCCTE – Outdoor Conditions Climate • HeatingDegree-days are: • Where: • Tb is the desired indoor temperature (20ºC) • Tj is the temperature outside the hours j • The Degree-days are calculated for an entire year • For example, to Lisbon, for Tb = 20 º C, heating degree days are 1190 º C.day. Knowing the heating season is 6 months (180 days), the average daily GD (GDI) will be 6.6 º C.
RCCTE – Outdoor Conditions Climate • Outdoor projecttemperature • The outside project temperature is calculated on a cumulative probability of occurrence of 99%, 97.5%, 95% and 90%. • A cumulative probability of occurrence of 99% means that in summer the temperature indicated is exceeded only in probabilistic terms, 1% of the time, ie, 30 hours per year (e.g. Lisbon).
