Abstract:

One of priorities of the EU’s climate change policy is the energy performance of buildings. This is reflected primarily through the series of Directives the EU has enacted along the years, but is most precisely conveyed in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). As part of the European Union, Lithuania has enacted its own long-term strategy aimed at transforming the current building stock in one which is more energy efficient. Building energy certification, legalized in accordance with the requirements of the directive is the primary tool used to evaluate the energy-efficiency of a building, which includes determination of the energy consumption of a building and subsequently assigning it with an energy performance class. Energy performance certificates (EPC) are obligatory for new and existing buildings in all European Union (EU) member states and provide not only a description of the energy performance characteristics of individual buildings, but are also useful source of legal information for determination of the achievements of building energy efficiency improvement strategy. Despite the current wide spread presence of EPC analyses in other European countries, similar information on the national EPC register of Lithuania is still hardly present in research studies. To this effect this paper presents a detailed overview of the stock of Lithuanian residential 1-2 apartments buildings using data from the national EPC register. The results obtained present the impact of the implementation of EPBD on Lithuanian residential 1-2 apartments buildings, including changes in thermal insulation of building elements, heating system typology, energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
