Wie genau sind unsere Energiepässe? - Vergleich zwischen berechneter und gemessener Endenergie in 230 Wohngebäuden in Luxemburg

Accuracy of energy performance certificates - Comparison of the calculated and measured final energy demand for 230 residential buildings in Luxembourg

. Member States of the European Union are obliged to present a calculation method and certificate for the energy performance for buildings according to the guidelines 2002/91/EG und 2010/31/EU. In Luxembourg it is obligatory to add the real final energy consumption to the certificate after 3 years. The measured real final energy consumptions and the calculated ones were compared for 125 single-family homes and 105 multi- family homes with 870 dwellings in total. The mean calculated values for single-family homes were 74 % higher, the mean calculated values for multi-family homes 103 % higher than the actual measured data. The older the buildings, the higher the deviations, as the input parameters, which were partly assumed and partly predefined, diverge between calculations and reality. Sensitive parameters of interest are the indoor room temperature, the U-values, the used assessment for thermal bridges and the air exchange rate.
