ANALYSIS OF THE DEPENDENCE BETWEEN ENERGY DEMAND INDICATORS IN BUILDINGS BASED ON VARIANTS FOR IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN A SCHOOL BUILDING
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 26
Abstract
One of the five far-reaching goals of the European Union is climate change and sustainable energy use. The first step in the implementation of this task is to reduce energy demand in buildings to a minimum by 2021, and in the case of public buildings by 2019. This article analyses the possibility of improving energy efficiency in public buildings, the relationship between particular indicators of the demand for usable energy (UE), final energy (FE) and primary energy (PE) in buildings and the impact of these indicators on the assessment of energy efficiency in public buildings, based on 5 variants of extensive thermal renovation of a school building. The analysis of the abovementioned variants confirms that the thermal renovation of merely the outer envelope of the building is insufficient and requires the use of additional energy sources, for example RES. Moreover, each indicator of energy demand in the building plays a key role in assessing the energy efficiency of the building. For this reason it is important to analyze each of them individually, as well as the dependencies between them.
