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. Final Report 64 31 03 2011
IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings Traffic-related Energy Aspects The last issues within “Energy and Atmosphere” explicitly relate to the reduction of emissions from motorised traffic which are - Ene 8 Adequate cycle facilities (which means that the cycle storage is of sufficient size, secure, weather-proof and has convenient access) thus encouraging the use of bicycles for short ways (up to 2 credits) - Ene 9 Home office: provision of adequate space and equipment thus reducing the commute traffic (1 credit) Further traffic-relevant topics are considered, but not directly assessed in the Home User Guide (see next section). Energy Information Policy (Home User Guide) Energy-related issues are by the way also integrated in the requirements for the Home User Guide (Man 1) which must be provided for all future tenants or buyers of a dwelling unit. The Home User Guide is divided into two parts: Part 1 (Operational Issues) including information about environmental design/features, energy, water use, recycling and waste, use of low VOC products or the purchase of certified timber and emergency information. Part 2 (Site and Surroundings) shall inform about recycling facilities nearby, sustainable (urban) drainage systems, public transport and local amenities, details of cycle storage and cycle paths in the area, responsible purchasing (e.g. organic food procurement/food growing/local produce/local food provision, e.g. farmers markets) and emergency information relating to the neighbourhood (nearest police/fire station, minor injuries clinics,..). Local amenities comprise the location of food shops, post boxes, postal facilities, bank/cash points, pharmacies, schools, medical centres, leisure centres, community centres, places of worship, public houses, children’s play areas, outdoor open access, public areas, other local amenities such as places of interest/cultural value, areas of beauty / wildlife / conservation / allotments etc. Preventing energy consumption and emissions from traffic is one of the main objectives of this information initiative within the Code for Sustainable Homes. Exceeding the system boundary of the assessed building and its immediate surroundings this issue tries to arouse awareness for comprehensive relations and climate protection measures (local food provision). Energy-relevant information related to the building itself are detailed information about the building’s energy performance, the fixed building services and their maintenance in order to guarantee energy-efficient operation widely free of defects and to be maintained at a reasonable level within the lifecycle. Instructions which are easy to understand for householders shall be provided next to the relevant building services comprising the making of seasonal adjustments to control settings and what routine maintenance is needed. Details of the EU labelling scheme for white goods, high efficacy light fittings and lamps and possible energy savings are required, too. Final Report 65 31 03 2011
