Summary

The Bouwbesluit 2012 is a mandatory performance-based code that requires an energy frame calculation to establish the maximum allowed Energy Performance Coefficient (EPN) for residential and non-residential buildings. The code addresses most thermal envelope requirements and energy-using systems within the EPN calculation, including, HVAC, hot water, lighting, bioclimatic design and renewable energy.

The Netherlands has had prescriptive energy efficiency requirements for buildings since the 1970’s. By 1995, energy performance values were already required for all new buildings - preempting the performance requirements of the EPBD. The 2012 code and related national policies have been further strengthened to include, mandatory computer modeling for all new buildings, air-tightness requirements for all new dwellings, thermal bridging linear value requirements, robust pre-occupancy commissioning and a national target to be energy-neutral by 2020.

  • Performance Codes for New Builds

    The Bouwbesluit 2012 is a mandatory performance-based code that requires an energy frame calculation to establish the maximum allowed Energy Performance Coefficient (EPN) for residential and non-residential buildings. Energy performance requirements (EPC) with reference to calculation method NEN 7120. Software is available to calculate the EPC based on NEN 7210.

  • Energy Declaration
  • Model / reference Building
  • Mix of different models / Hybrids

Energy Covered

Basis for Energy Requirements

  • Overall performance frame

    The energy performance requirements are expressed in terms of the EPN coefficient factor.

  • Final Energy
  • Primary Energy

    Regardless of the application of the building's characteristic energy, EPTot, determined as the sum of the primary energy converted use of fossil fuels for heating, humidification, fans, lighting, cooling, dehumidification, hot water and the total corresponding auxiliary energy , less primary energy converted to potential private plot production (building related) energy, eg solar electricity and supply of building-related cogeneration.

  • Life Cycle Assessment considered (embedded energy)

    Requirements with regard to the EPC are based on cost-benefit analysis throughout the lifecycle of the building.

Energy Uses and Functions Covered by the Code

  • Heating

    Included in the EPC calculation, The current Building Act does not contain any specific requirements regarding the energy efficiency of systems. However requirements are foreseen in the new Reg (nieuwe Regeling energieprestatie gebouwen), which will enter into force by july 2013 as part of the implementation of the recast EPBD (2010/31/EU).

  • Cooling

    Included in the EPC calculation. The current Building Act does not contain any requirements regarding the energy efficiency of cooling systems. However requirements are foreseen in the new Reg (nieuwe Regeling energieprestatie gebouwen), which will enter into force by july 2013 as part of the implementation of the recast EPBD (2010/31/EU).

  • Dehumidification

    Depends on the type of system.

  • Ventilation

    There are no prescribed mechanical ventilation efficiency requirements, however any system is included in the EPC calculation.

  • Airtightness

    For residential buildings, 200 dm3/s @10 Pa and for non-residential buildings 200 dm3/s per 500 m3 @10 Pa.

  • Thermal bridging

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Hot water

    There are no prescribed DHW efficiency requirements, however all systems are included in the EPC calculation.

  • Technical installations

    Not known at this stage.

  • Lighting

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Appliances

    Not known at this stage.

  • Design, position & orientation of building

    The energy is passive solar energy, use of daylight and solar thermal energy already included: passive solar energy is included in the calculation of the heat and cooling needs, utilization of daylight is included in the calculation of the energy for lighting and active solar thermal energy is already settled directly in the building installation.

  • Heat recovery

    Not known at this stage.

  • Passive solar

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Passive cooling

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Natural ventilation

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Solar protection

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Daylighting requirements

    Included in the EPC calculation.

  • Renewable Energy (solar, PV, others)

    Partially, no specific requirement, but renewables are included in the EPN calculation. Additionally, there is a separate policy for the overall share of energy from renewable sources in The Netherlands. The ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation is responsible for policy making.

  • Local renewable sources
  • Energy Offsets/Green Certificates

Enforcement

Type of Enforcement

  • Local enforcement
    Currently the local authority (municipalities) is responsible for monitoring and enforcement. Proof that the requirements are met must be given before the completion of the building. Verification of this legal provision is the responsibility of the Local Authority where the building is located.
  • Third party inspection
    Authorities are examining the possibilities to give the market more responsibility.
  • Central enforcement
  • Accreditation of applicants
  • Post Occupancy control
    HVAC systems

On-site Inspections Occur

  • On-site inspections
  • During construction
  • Post completion
    Post completion testing of energy systems
  • Post occupancy
    HVAC systems

Certification to Support Enforcement of Code

  • Energy Performance Certificate support BC
    "Energy Performance Certificate for existing buildings that first came into force on January 1st 2008. The certification of new buildings was already integrated into Dutch law by as early as 1995. Later than 1 January 2013: • Obligation to transfer energy certificate new building • Obligation to transfer energy certificate sale or rental of a building or building unit"
  • Positive labeling for building beyond the minimum BC level
  • Existence of EPC register database at national level
    A central database is maintained by NL Agency (www.ep-online.nl or www.energiecijfers.nl)
  • Inspection of boilers
    Partially, Working on an agreement with the installation sector to further encourage the voluntary inspection of heating systems.
  • Inspection of HVAC systems
    The inspection of air-conditioning systems is fully implemented in The Netherlands. Currently, the inspection of air-conditioning systems is dispersed amongst different parts of national law. A mandatory inspection for larger air conditioning systems is introduced by mid-2013 as part of the transposition of the EPBD recast. We are also working on an agreement with the installation sector to further encourage the voluntary inspection of heating systems.

Penalties for Non-compliance

  • None
  • Fine
  • Imprisonment
  • Refusal of permission to occupy
    Regulated by the Housing Act
  • Refusal of permission to construct
    Regulated by the Housing Act
  • Demolition

Measures Supporting Enforcement

  • Commissioning requirements
    Commissioning and inspection of most large energy using systems is required before occpation.
  • Airtightness testing required prior to compliance
    Air-tightness is a separate requirement in addition to the EPC in the Building Act. 
  • Mandatory Computer Modeling
    Not mandatory for large complex buildings.
  • Training of Inspectors
    There are voluntary educations for assessors, but examination by a national board is mandatory. The list of qualified assessors is permanently updated and always available online for the public at the website of KBI, the Dutch quality assurance association (www.kbi.nl).

    Note
    The former VROM Inspectorate, now called Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport and Agentschap NL randomly check the energy performance of new buildings realized. As of mid-2013 due to the implementation of the revised EPBD, all registered energy performance certificates for new buildings will be monitored.
