IBO - <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> Health <strong>related</strong> Criteria <strong>for</strong> Buildings<br />

Traffic-<strong>related</strong> energy issues<br />

Energy or emissions from traffic to <strong>and</strong> from site are indirectly assessed within the optional<br />

<strong>criteria</strong> 42 <strong>and</strong> 43 “Use of materials/products locally produced - non-structural functions <strong>and</strong><br />

structural functions”.<br />

M<strong>and</strong>atory is the restriction of car-places <strong>for</strong> residential <strong>buildings</strong> (max. 1 car-place per flat).<br />

The use of low-emitting vehicles as well as cycling are encouraged as the building shall have<br />

obligatory facilities <strong>for</strong> charging electric vehicles <strong>and</strong> open-space parking <strong>for</strong> LPG vehicles<br />

<strong>and</strong> adequate cycle storage facilities, either indoor or outdoor to ensure dry storage of<br />

bicycles. What “adequate” means is not yet specified in the Third Draft Criteria.<br />

7.4. SBTool<br />

Larsson)<br />

Energy-relevant indicators are assessed both in section B “Energy <strong>and</strong> Resource<br />

Consumption” <strong>and</strong> in section C “<strong>Environmental</strong> Loadings”.<br />

The assessment framework provides a clear division into non-renewable primary energy<br />

embodied in construction materials <strong>and</strong> used <strong>for</strong> facility operations as pointed out in the<br />

following overview.<br />

B1 Total Life Cycle Non-Renewable Energy<br />

B1.1. Annualized non-renewable primary energy embodied in construction materials.<br />

Embodied primary energy used <strong>for</strong> structure, envelope (excl. glazing), <strong>and</strong> major interior components<br />

annualised over the expected life span of a building has to be taken into account (the proposal <strong>for</strong> rating<br />

ranges from 107 (acceptable practice) – 67 (best practice) MJ/m²a; assumed life span:75a).<br />

B1.2. Annual non-renewable primary energy used <strong>for</strong> facility operations<br />

Verification is provided by calculating the delivered energy in MJ per m² of net area, including fuel <strong>and</strong><br />

electrical use, as predicted by means of an acceptable method or tool. SBTool applies conversion factors<br />

to this value to convert them into primary energy. The proposals <strong>for</strong> rating are 300 (acceptable practice)<br />

– 150 MJ/m²year (best practice) primary energy dem<strong>and</strong> – electricity <strong>and</strong> 800 (acceptable practice) –<br />

500 MJ/m²year (best practice) primary energy dem<strong>and</strong> – total.<br />

B2 Electrical Peak Dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> Facility Operation<br />

Required is the average of peak monthly electrical dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> one year, W/m 2 , as predicted by means of<br />

an acceptable method or tool. The rating scale ranges from 5 (acceptable practice) – 2 (best practice)<br />

W/m² <strong>for</strong> small residential <strong>buildings</strong>)<br />

B3 Renewable Energy<br />

B3.1. Use of off-site energy that is generated from renewable sources<br />

The percentage of annual purchased electricity consumption planned to be obtained from sources that<br />

generate power by means of renewable energy is evaluated 15% (acceptable practice) – 30% best<br />

practice (ed. 2007).<br />

B3.2. Provision of on-site renewable energy<br />
