  1. Buildings in the EU • construction industry (EU15): 10 - 12 % of the EU GDP, 25 - 30 mio. employees in 2.7 mio. companies • 70 % residential, 30 % non-residential buildings • over 150 million dwellings, 50 - 60% single family houses • 40 % of the European energy use • household expenditure for energy: 3.3 % Spain, 3.5 % NL, 4.1 % Germany, 5 % Finland • strong increase in cooling (warm & cold countries) • strong increase in electricity consumption ESV-Design 051113en

  2. The potential is enormous! • 22 % economic saving potential • half of the potential can be realised at zero or "negative" costs • min. 25 % potential for renewable energy sources (est.) ESV-Design 051113en

  3. Energy Efficiency in Buildings – the programmes in Upper Austria Christiane Egger O.Ö. Energiesparverband Landstraße 45 A-4020 Linz, Austria T: +43-732-7720-14380 office@esv.or.at www.esv.or.at ESV-Design 051112en

  4. Oberösterreich - Upper Austria Capital: Linz Population: 1.38 mio Area: 12.000 km² GNP: 30.400 mio € Final energy cons.: 273 PJ; 33 % renewables (93 PJ) Unemployment: 4.4 % economic activities: industry, service sector, tourism, 25% of the Austrian exports ESV-Design 051112en

  5. Energy Action Plan of Upper Austria 1994 - 1999 30 % renewable energy(14 % hydro, 14 % biomass, 2 % solar) energy consumption in new housing reduced by 30 % 15,000 jobs 2000 - 2010 double biomass & solar increase energy efficiency by 10 % O.Ö. Energiesparverband regional energy agency energy efficiency, renewable energy & innovative technologies main funding: regional government services to private households, SMEs, public bodies ESV-Design 051112en

  6. Towards Sustainable Buildings in Upper Austria Energy performance indicator Energy certificate Training & education Subsidy programmes Advice & information Legal measures In Austria, the regions are responsible for the implementation of the Buildings Directive. ESV-Design 051112en

  7. The Upper Austrian Energy Performance Certificate • Issued as part of funding programme since 1993 • Legal obligation since 1999 • 40,000 certificates issued by O.Ö. Energiesparverband since 1993 • Further development until 2006 ESV-Design 051112en

  9. Building Trends in Upper Austria existing building stock "energy efficient house" 1993 "energy efficient house" 1995 "energy efficient house" 1997 legal threshold 1994 legal threshold 1999 "passive house" 2005 minimum performance requirements 2005 "low energy house" 1999 "lowest energy house" 2005 ESV-Design 051112en

  10. Results Sustainable housing programme1993-2004 • 40,000 homes (new & renovation) • calculation of the energy performanceindicator ("Energiekennzahl") • individual energy certificate • individual energy advice session • 7 million m² • 285 mio. kWh energy savings/year • average energy indicator:2001 (4,150 homes): 65 kWh/m²2004 (5,700 homes): 54 kWh/m² ESV-Design 051112en

  11. Energy advice service in Upper Austria • Objectives & approachPromote EE & RES in buildings Inform & motivate concrete investment decisions • Target groupsprivate households 1.5 hrs freemunicipalities 1 day freecompanies 2 days 75 % free • Service providersa network of energy advisers managed by ESV • FundingMostly regional government of Upper Austria ESV-Design 051112en

  12. Sustainable public buildings 1) Minimum performance requirements 2) Priority for renewables for heating 3) Public funding linked to 1) + 2) 4) Energy performance indicators in architects' tenders 5) Support from O.Ö. Energiesparverband (advice, training,...) 6) Obligatory energy accounting for municipalities 7) Annual benchmarking of public buildings ESV-Design 051112en

  13. Biomass technologies used in Upper Austria log wood boilers wood chip boilers wood pellets boilers biomass district heating ESV-Design 051112en

  14. Biomass in Upper Austria capacity in MW > 1 MW 100 kW - 1 MW < 100 kW Upper Austria • 14 % of total energy consumption • 17,500 biomass heating installations • 200 district heating plants • > 100 municipalities use biomass for heating ESV-Design 051112en

  15. Biomass in Upper Austria capacity in MW > 1 MW 100 kW - 1 MW < 100 kW target: doubling till 2010 ESV-Design 051112en

  16. Solar thermal in Upper Austria cumulated EU15: 0.034 m²/inh. Germany: 0.063 m²/inh. Austria: 0.34 m²/inh. Upper Austria 2004: 0.5 m²/inh. Upper Austria 2010: 0.72 m²/inh. in 1.000 m² target: doubling till 2010 ESV-Design 051112en
