Energy Consumption in Buildings
• Buildings account for 40% of total energy
consumption in the European union
• What about Portugal?
– In 2010 the final consumption of services +
domestic sector represented 55% of the final
energy consumption
– Do you think that the fraction of primary energy
would be higher or lower? Why?
Slide 2 of 53
Gestão de Energia
Energy Consumption in Buildings
• Most effective strategy to reduce energy use in
buildings (Harvey, 2010):
– Reduce heating and cooling loads through a highperformance envelope
• high degree of insulation, windows with low U values in
cold climates and low solar heat gain in hot climates,
external shading and low air leakage
– Meet the reduced load as much as possible using passive
solar heating, ventilation and cooling techniques while
optimizing the use of daylight
– Use the most efficient mechanical equipment to meet
the remaining loads
– Ensure that individual energy-using devices are as
efficient as possible and properly sized

Buildings – High Performance Envelope
• The effectiveness of the thermal envelope depends of
insulation levels in the walls, ceiling and basement
– Insulation levels control the heat flow by conduction &
convection through the exterior and the interior
Q  U  T  Area
– U value (W/m2/K), the heat trasnfer coefficient, is equal to the
heat flow per unit area and per degree of inside to outside
temperature difference
– The U value of a layer of insulation depends on its length and
type of material

Gestão de Energia
Buildings – High Performance Envelope
• The effectiveness of the thermal envelope depends on the
insulation levels of windows
– Windows offer substantially less resistance to the loss of heat
than insulated walls
– Single glazed windows have a typical U-value of 5W/m2/K
which can be reduced to to 2.5 and 1.65W/m2/K with double
and triple glazing because of the additional layers of air
– The U-value of 2.5W/m2/K of double glazed windows can be
reduced to 2.4W/m2/K and 2.3W/m2/K with Argon and krypton
– Double and triple glazing vaccum windows can reduce the U
value to 1.2 and 0.2W/m2/K

Slide 8 of 53
Gestão de Energia
Buildings – High Performance Envelope
• The effectiveness of the thermal envelope depends on the
gain/loss energy by radiation
– Windows permit solar energy to
enter and loss of infrared radiation
– Low emissivity coatings reflect more (reduce SHGC), i.e., reduce
heat gains in summer and winter
– Low emissivity coatings can reduce loss of heat by infrared
radiation
– The solar heat gain coefficient, SHGC, is the fraction of solar
radiation inicident on a window that passes through the window
Slide 9 of 53
Gestão de Energia
Buildings – High Performance Envelope
• The effectiveness of the thermal envelope depends on the air
leakage
– The net heat flow due to an air exchange at rate r is:
Q   air c p,air Vair T
– The stack effect promotes air leakage
• Cold air is sucked into the lower
part and warm air exits through
the upper part through craks
and openings because it is lighter.
• Stack effect can account for up to
40% of heating requirements on
cold climates
– The wind effect
Slide 10 of 53
Gestão de Energia
Buildings – High Performance Envelope
• The effectiveness of the thermal envelope depends on the air
leakage
– Careful application of a continuous air barrier can reduces rates
of air leakage by a factor of 5 to 10 compared to standard
practice (enforcement of careful workmanship during
construction)
– Buildings with very low air
leakage require mechanical
ventilation (95% of the available
heat in the warm exhaust air
can be transfered to the
incoming cold air) to keep indoor air quality

Buildings – The role of shape, form, orientation and glazed %
• Building shape & form
– Have significant impacts on heating and cooling loads and
daylight because of the relation between surface area and volume
– Which one minimizes heat transfer by conduction and convection?
• Building orientation
– For rectangular buildings the optimal
orientation is with the long axis facing
south
– Why?
Slide 13 of 53
Gestão de Energia
Buildings – The role of shape, form, orientation and glazed %
• Glazing fractions
– High glazing fractions increase energy requirements for heating
and cooling
– There is little additional daylighting benefit once the glazed
fraction increases beyond 30-50% of the total façade area

• Furnaces
– heat air and distribute the heated
air through the house using ducts;
– are electric, gas-fired (including
propane or natural gas), or
oil-fired.
– Efficiencies range from 60 to 92%
(highest for condensing furnaces)
• Boilers
– heat water, and provide either hot
water or steam for heating;
– heat is produced from the combustion
of such fuels as natural gas, fuel oil,
coal or pellets.
– Efficiencies range from 75% to 95%
(highest for condensing boilers)

• Chillers
– Produce cold water which is circulated through the

– Electric Chillers: use electricity
– Absorption chillers: use heat (can be waste heat from
cogeneration)
– Electric chillers, COP = 4.0-7.5 (larger units have a
higher COP)
– Absorption chillers, COP = 0.6-1.2

Buildings: HVAC Systems
• Ventilate and heat or cool big buildings
• All air systems: air at a sufficient low (high) T and in
sufficient volumes is circulated through the building to
remove (add) heat loads
– CAV: constant air volumes
– VAV: variable air volumes
– Air that is circulated in the supply ducts may be taken entirely
from the outside and exhausted to the outside by the return
ducts or a portion of the return air may be mixed with fresh air
– Incoming air needs to be cooled and dehumidified in summer
and heated and (sometimes) humidified in winter
• Restrict air flow to ventilation needs and use additional
systems for additional heating/cooling
• Heat exchangers that transfer heat between outgoing and
incoming air flows

– If the minimum energy performance requirements of old
big comercial buildings are not met than there is na
energy audit to develop an energy rationalization plan
and all efficiency measures with economic viability have
to be implemented

System Requirements for HVAC
• Limit the installed power:
– Heating or cooling PNOM < 1.4 of the power needed
• Promote Energy Efficiency
– If PNOM> 100 kW than HVAC system with centralized heat
production
– The connection to centralized heating and cooling systems (if
available) is mandatory
– The heating power obtained by Joule effect cannot exceed 5%
of the heating thermal power
• Control and regulation systems
– Control confort temperatures
– Turn off when the space is not used
• Monitoring (PNOM> 100 kW ) and Energy Management
Systems (PNOM> 200 kW ) with centralized optimization
(PNOM> 250 kW )
• Audits to big boilers and AC

Differences between Directives 2002/91/EC and 2010/31/EU
• 2010/31/EU has requirements on increasing the
number of nearly zero-energy buildings;
• 2010/31/EU has requirements on the minimum
energy performance of all (not only on big)
existing buildings subject to major renovations
• In 2010/31/EU the framework for energy
performance:
– Based on the computed or actual annual energy
consumed in order to meet different needs associated
with typical behavior
– Energy performance indicator and a numerical indicator
of primary energy consumption

Differences between Directives 2002/91/EC and 2010/31/EU
• 2010/31/EU sets the minimum energy
performance requirements targeting cost-optimal
levels (to be calculated in accordance with a
comparative methodology framework).
• 2010/31/EU considers that the methodology for
the identification of cost-optimal levels should :
– take into account use patterns, outdoor climate
conditions, investment costs and maintenance and
operating costs;
– be computed for reference buildings with different
functionalities and geographic locations;
– define the efficiency measures that should be assessed;
– consider the expected economic life-cycle of the building;

Differences between Directives 2002/91/EC and 2010/31/EU
• 2010/31/EU considers that the technical,
environmental and economic feasibility of highefficiency alternative systems such as
(decentralized energy supply systems based on
energy from renewable sources, cogeneration,
district or block heating or cooling, heat pumps)
should be considered for all (not only > 1000 m2)
new buildings
• 2010/31/EU considers that when all buildings
(not only > 1000 m2) undergo major renovation,
the energy performance of the building or the
renovated part thereof is upgraded in order to
meet minimum energy performance requirements
