Building sector
EU Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD), sets requirements at an EU level for Member States to improve the energy performance of buildings and to make an important contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Major Renovations to dwellings will be required to achieve a cost optimal performance. This is in line with the National Development plan and will bring dwellings undergoing Major Renovation to a B2 Rated BER. A major renovation occurs when more than 25% of the building envelope is renovated.
NZEB for non-residential buildings was introduced into the Building Regulations in December 2017. This specifies NZEB performance requirements for new non-residential buildings and Major Renovation requirements for existing buildings – and is a significant change. These new performance requirements improve the energy and carbon emissions performance in the order of 60% and introduce mandatory renewables on all new non-residential buildings. These regulations apply to works to new and existing buildings which commence after 1st of January 2019 subject to a one year transition.
