Introduction - sectoral energy consumption – 1990 - 2007 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV

Targets » For new buildings • Obligation for energy performance according to EPBD » For existing buildings: Energy renovation programme 2020 – no energy wasting dwellings • Each dwelling has roof and floor insulation • Existing single glazing -> improved double glazing • Efficiency of central heating >= 90 % • Support for: • Outside insulation of exterior walls • Hollow wall insulation • Replacement of electrical heating (no heat pumps) 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 7

Policy - Energy performance of buildings implementation in Flanders » EPC for residential existing buildings ongoing since nov 2008 » Mandatory for dwellings “for sale” & “for rent” » Certificates collected at a central server by VEA (Flemish energy Agency) » +/- 120. 000 EPC’s collected in one year » Different procedure & software as for EPB on new buildings & renovations 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 8

Policy - Energy performance of buildings implementation in Flanders » EPB-procedure for new buildings & renovations ongoing since 2006 » Regulations for all types of building: » Residential » Non residential » Industrial » Office » Serious improvement in Energye Perfomance compared to <2006 » From E 100 E 80 in 2010 » In 2012 from E 80 E 60? (study to perform in 2010) 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 9

Policy - Energy performance of buildings implementation in Flanders » EPC-procedure for public buildings » Regulations for all public buildings >1000 m² floor area » Certificate must be available for the public on a visible spot inside the building » Based on operational rating (measured consumptions) instead of asset rating » In force since 2009 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 10

Policy - Energy performance of buildings implementation in Flanders » Energy Advice Procedure for residential building ongoing since 2005: » Not harmonised with other calculation procedures; » Average success rate due to cost » New law in spatial planning since 2009 – placement of outside wall insulation » Outside wall insulation may be placed 14 cm beyond the building border line for energy renovations » Stimulation for terraced & semi-detached dwellings in city centres 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 11

Policy - Energy performance of buildings implementation in Flanders » Lowering of the minimum allowances for green electricity certificates: » =system to reward people and companies who produce green electricity » Value of one certificate decreased from € 450 to € 350 / MWh » Booming of PV sector in 2009 » Uncertainty for 2010 for the PV sector in Flanders » Take off from the heating audit procedure for installations >15 y and >100 k. W in 2010: » All types of buildings » Procedure for 20 -100 k. W already ongoing since 2010 » Transposed article from EPBD » Electronic audit tool foreseen 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 12

Other supporting measures » Federal tax reduction for energy efficiency investments » For non tax payers; subsidy, from 2010 on: tax credit » Deduction of property tax for ≤ E 60 (20%) and ≤ E 40 (40%) » Subsidies of grid managers (funded by contribution on electricity price) for RUE measures for existing buildings » Roof insulation » Wall insulation » Condensing boiler » . . . » Specific subsidies for non-domestic buildings » Media campaigns 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 13

Example of public private partnership in schools » Schools: E 70 » 30% less energy consuming » With same behaviour » At this moment: economic optimum » All building permits after 1 Jan 2008 » Except sports infrastructure, industrial buildings » Exemption for specific cases (protected monuments, smaller works, . . . ) 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 15

PPP schools » Allocation of the project to partnership end May 2009 » 4 candidate groups » Delicate and complicated procedure » Target: 211 schools in 4 years » 1 billion euro, 5000 employees » DBFM formula » Design, build, finance and maintain » Private financer sets up company » Schools pay in return a usage allowance for 30 years » Advantages for school » Maintenance risk for private company » Fast realization 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 16

PPP schools » Public partner = NV School Invest » Daughter company of agency for school infrastructure and PMV (Flemish Holding Company) » PMV minority share in DBFM company » Activating of specific projects » 14 signed contracts » 3 pilot projects 19/03/2018 © 2010, VITO NV 17
