Abstract
European Union, including Poland, has not yet introduced full and complex legal regulations exclusively regarding energy-efficient construction. However, legal regulations do define the possibility of using renewable energy resources in the construction industry. In this article you can find a detailed overview of legal regulations concerning the bases of using renewable energy resources in the construction industry. They involve investors, designers and contractors. The article also indicates economic instruments supporting the energy-efficient construction in Poland.
Highlights
The term ‘energy-efficient construction’ was entered in Western Europe in the 1970s during the first energy crisis
The above causes that the annual unit energy demand for heating and ventilation (EUco) of this building is 10 kWh/m2
The primary criterion for energy efficiency is to obtain an appropriate indicator of the annual unit energy demand for heating and ventilation (EUco), calculated in accordance with the Regulation [1]
Summary
The term ‘energy-efficient construction’ was entered in Western Europe in the 1970s during the first energy (oil) crisis. The project included construction of 14 buildings (covering 258 residential units) in the passive house standard in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and France. The annual unit energy demand for heating and ventilation (EUco) of the building in the standard heating season is 15 kWh/m2. The primary criterion for energy efficiency is to obtain an appropriate indicator of the annual unit energy demand for heating and ventilation (EUco), calculated in accordance with the Regulation [1]. The legislation in this area in the European Union, including Poland, is not codified in one leading legal act (legal regulations are divided into various legal acts) These legal provisions regulate the possibility of using renewable energy sources in the construction industry.
