Reducing Electricity Consumption for Water Heating in the Domestic Sector
This paper focuses on reducing primary energy use in the domestic sector by changing from conventional to renewable resources. Starting from an analysis of present available energy consumption data in the EU-25, the area for higher energy efficiency is identified on hot water consumption. Introduction of renewable energy technologies in the built environment gives opportunities to improve the overall energy performance of buildings. In particular the application of solar energy technology offers a variety of possibilities. The Renewable Electricity Sources Directive [1] and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive [2] require all Member States to implement national regulations within the near future. Other European Directives are under preparation to stimulate further improvements in energy performance and energy efficiency in the building sector. Integration of renewable energy sources for heating and electricity in the built environment is also stimulated through national regulations in a few Member States. ; JRC.H.8-Renewable energies
