Research Programme Housing Quality
Quality of life – People spend most of their time at home: comfort, safety, health
Ecological footprint – 40% of CO2 in built
environment: most cost effective saving potential
Economical assets – cost, value, life span, maintenance

European and Dutch targets for energy savings
EU climate and energy targets for 2020:• 20% reduction of CO2 (reference year 1990)• 20% share renewable energy in EU’s overall energy mix (NL:
16%)• 20% improvement of energy efficiency
Energy performance of buildings directive 2003/2010 • EPC‘s for new and existing buildings• New buildings 2020 NZEB• Renovation 25% of value: as new!
2050: Energy neutral Built Environment• 70% of the housing stock of 2050 already exists

• House prices go down• Hard to get mortgages• House building reduced• Also renovation reduced• Housing Associations have less money…

Total CO2 emissions
• Total CO2 emissions can hardly be reduced by reducing the heating demand
• Covering the domestic electricity use with PV is very effective in NL!
31 | 17
Conclusions• Large scale renovations on nZEB levels will be very hard to achieve:
requires hughe investments
• When renovating poor performing dwellings to higher levels, a large share of potential savings are used to increase comfort => the average temperature in the dwelling increases
• Renovation programmes should be set up with the aim to increase the total quality and increase the expected life span and value of the dwellings
• Quality assurance essential to achieve potential performances of nZEB
• Use of RES (PV) large contribution to reduce CO2
