Environmental and health related criteria for buildings - ANEC

IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings
- Ene 2 Building Fabric: Heat Loss Parameter 25 of each dwelling ≤1.3 or ≤1.1 W/m²K (1
credit or 2 credits)
- Ene 3 Internal Lighting: ≥40% or ≥ 70% of fixed internal fittings are dedicated and
energy efficient 26 (1 credit or 2 credits)
- Ene 4 Drying space: provision of secure and sufficient drying space (internal or
external) for drying clothes (energy consumption for tumble dryers should be avoided) (1
credit)
- Ene 5 Energy Labelled White Goods: including
- A+ rating under the EU Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme for fridges and freezers
or fridge-freezers (1 credit)
- A rating for washing machines and dishwashers and either washer-dryers or tumble
dryers have a B rating (1 credit)
- If no (or not all) white goods are provided but information on the EU Energy
Efficiency Labelling Scheme of efficient white goods is provided to each dwelling the
credit can be awarded, too.
- Ene 6 External and Secure Lighting: All external space lighting, including lighting in the
common areas, is provided by dedicated energy efficient fittings (1 credit).
- Burglar secure lights have a maximum wattage of 150 W, movement detecting control
devices (PIR) and daylight cut-off sensors. All other security lighting has dedicated
energy efficient fittings and is fitted with daylight cut-off sensors or timers (1 credit).
- Ene 7 LZC technologies: If energy is generated from local renewable or low carbon
energy sources funded under the Low Carbon Building Programme (or similar), 2
additional credits can be achieved if this results in a 15% reduction of carbon emissions
or one additional credit in case of a 10% reduction.
Summary – (Operational) Energy and CO 2 -Emissions
The credits available are split approximately one half to the overall energy performance of a
building (measured in CO 2 emissions, but not in absolute figures, the reduction of the
emission rate is compared to a reference level) and one half to individual measures which
are to some extent already considered in the dwelling emission rate (such as heat loss
parameter of the building fabric or contribution of low or zero carbon technologies from local
sources) but they also consider user-relevant appliances (e.g. white goods, drying space,
internal/external lighting) and traffic-related aspects (such as provision of cycle storage and
home office).
There are no additional mandatory requirements (apart from the minimum percentage
reduction in dwelling emission rate over target emission rate to achieve the corresponding
Code levels).
25 The Heat Loss Parameter is defined as the total fabric and ventilation heat losses from the dwelling divided by
the total floor area (W/m²K) and is influenced by the external surface area, insulation value of construction, and
airtightness
26 The fitting must must be capable of only accepting lamps having a luminous efficacy greater than 40 lumens
per circuit Watt (e.g. tubular fluorescent and compact fluorescent lighting fitting). The fixing must be permanently
fixed to the ceiling or wall.
