Building Regulations in Germany

  The EnEV (Energieeinsparverordnung in German) is a performance-based regulation that requires a mandatory energy frame calculation to establish the expected primary energy consumption of residential and non-residential buildings. The regulation addresses thermal envelope requirements and energy using or producing systems in the calculation, including, HVAC, hot water, lighting (non-residential only), bio-climatic design and renewable energy.

  Germany has had prescriptive building energy efficiency requirements since 1977. The 2009 version and supporting policies encompasses many progressive aspects including, low maximum u-values established relevant to climate, mandatory computer simulation, air-tightness requirements, well established incentive schemes, frequent boiler and HVAC testing, robust EPC programs, voluntary low energy classes.

  The building code covers:

• Residential buildings (One family, Multiple family buildings)
• Commercial buildings (Offices, Hotels, Hospitals)
• Public buildings (Offices, Hospitals) 

 

  By 2020 buildings should be operating without fossil fuel. The German government has committed to reducing the primary energy demand of buildings by 80% by 2050. Achieving this reduction will require foremost efficiency improvements, with a first milestone of a 20% reduction in heat demand levels by 2020.

  The environmental issue is gaining awareness right now, and more countries have started to take real actions for improvement of our Earth. It ends up like, those who want to enter a market with energy saving regulations practiced, they should follow the regulations themselves as well. 

  However, Genese Intelligent Technology has been devoted to providing energy efficient BLDC motor solutions for many years, and manage to comply with every single energy law because we’re truly concerned with the worsening environment. By fitting in the German-based EnEV building codes, our high efficiency Brushless DC centrifugal fans can simply make contribution to the interior air quality and household ventilation. Genese always strive to make our Earth a better place for next generations.
