Economic feasibility of tailored energy efficiency recommendations for buildings
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) inform building owners and users about the current energy efficiency of the building. They also include recommendations for the improvement of the energy performance of the building. They provide the efficiency classes associated with the different individual or package of energy efficiency measures (EEMs). However, financial constraints are the main reason for people not to renovate or why building owners choose less efficient solutions, hampering the long-term transition. The inclusion of a financing evaluation of EEMs into energy performance assessment methods and EPC schemes, based on the cost-optimal methodology, is a necessary instrument for building owners to take decisions regarding building renovation and to plan the staged deep renovations. Harmonized economic and viability analysis based on energy saving estimation in EPC schemes will instil trust in the market and mobilize investments in energy efficiency based on energy renovations of existing buildings ePANACEA project intends to integrate the cost-optimal methodology into energy performance assessment and certification schemes as a tool to evaluate the economic feasibility of integrated packages of business as usual (BAU) technologies and smart novel technical solutions. Chapter 1 of this document introduces this report and summarizes political surroundings of the European Green Deal and the EPBD. Chapter 2 includes the description of the ePANACEA cost-optimal methodology based on the adaptation of the CE cost-optimal framework defined in the EU Guidelines [EU 2012a] and Regulation (EU) N° 244/2012 [EU 2012]. A description of all considered BAU technologies and novel and smart technical solutions are also included in this section. Chapter 3 shows the implementation of the cost-optimal methodology in two case studies: a new residential building and an existing office building. Chapter 4 explores the integration of the economic assessment into staged deep renovation roadmaps and Building Renovation Passports (BRP). Additionally, a database with costs of energy efficiency measures (EEMs), including current and main novel and smart technologies for target countries (AT, BE, EL, ES, FI) is been developing. This database will be included into the final ePANACEA methodology and its pilot Smart European Energy Performance Assessment and Certification Platform (SEPAP).
