published the European Directive 2010/31/ce on the improvement of energy performance of buildings: it will replace Directive 2002/91/ce
The new Directive 2010/31/ce on energy performance in building was published on the European official gazette (June 153/13, 18, 2010).
Directive 2010/31/ce, in force from next 9 July 2010, repealed, with effect from 1 February 2012, Directive 2002/91/ce.
the Directive, as Article 1 specifies, "promotes the improvement of the energy performance of buildings within the Union, taking into account local and external climatic conditions, as well as the requirements relating to the indoor climate and the effectiveness in terms of costs".
in particular the new European legislation provides provisions on:
methodology for calculating the integrated energy performance of buildings and real estate units to apply minimum requirements to the energy performance of buildings and real estate units energy certification of buildings or real estate units independent control systems for energy performance certificates and inspection reports national plans intended to increase the number of " almost zero energy buildings" periodic inspection of heating and air conditioning systems in buildings the Member States of the European Union must define a general methodology for calculating energy performance of buildings.
In addition, the Directive provides that in order to contain energy requirements, Member States shall lay down requirements for technical construction plants on a relatively small scale:
to global energy performance
the correct installation and size
the proper adjustment and control
These requirements, established for the case of new installation, replacement or improvement of technical systems for construction, apply at least to the following plants:
heating systems;
hot water production plants;
air conditioning systems;
large ventilation systems.
by 31 December 2020 it is planned, finally, that all new buildings are "an almost zero energy building". a ' quasi-zero energy building' is a building with a high energy performance, determined in accordance with Annex I, whose energy requirements (very low or almost zero) should be covered very significantly by renewable energy sources.
