| Objectives | (BD2431) The overall aim of this project is to develop suitable performance standards and guidance for the installation of low or zero carbon energy sources in buildings. The specific objectives of this project are: * To identify existing published standards for low or zero carbon energy sources in use in buildings, * To assess the available performance standards and installation guidance and identify any gaps, * To prepare suitable guidance on performance standards and installation practice fo r inclusion in ADL. | |
| Abstract | Low or zero carbon energy sources are increasingly being installed in buildings, e.g. small scale and micro CHP units, photovoltaic panels and building mounted wind generators. The development of performance standards and suitable guidance on satisfactory provisions, on e.g. structural measures, weatherproofing and location is needed, also compliance with ADL and any relevant provisions of the forthcoming Electrical AD. This desk study will also take account of the Energy White Paper and the EUEnergy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Summary of results: The project proposed a specified list of low or zero carbon energy sources as alternatives to energy conservation and energy efficiency measures in order to achieve target carbon emissions for different building types. The potential for each LZC energy source to contribute to carbon emissions reductions in domestic and non-domestic building applications was assessed. The findings were considered as part of the 2005 review ofPart L. | |
