hoone tüüpilise kasutusega seotud energianõudluse rahuldamiseks vajalik arvutuslik või mõõdetud energia hulk, mis hõlmab muu hulgas kütmiseks, jahutuseks, ventilatsiooniks, vee soojendamiseks ja valgustuseks tarbitavat energiat
calculated or measured amount of energy needed to meet the energy demand associated with a typical use of the building, which includes, inter alia, energy used for heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water and lighting
Hoone energiatõhususe suurendamiseks tuleb rakendada meetmeid, arvestades järgmisi tingimusi: 1) energiatõhusust ei tohi saavutada viisil, mis halvendaks hoone sisekliimat ja kasutustingimusi;
2) tuleb kaaluda erinevaid võimalusi ja eelistada kuluefektiivseid lahendusi; 3) olulise energiatarbega tehnosüsteemi rekonstrueerimisel tuleb tagada selle töö optimaalsus.
Measures to improve further the energy performance of buildings should take into account climatic and local conditions as well as indoor climate environment and cost-effectiveness.
Major renovations of existing buildings, regardless of their size, provide an opportunity to take cost-effective measures to enhance energy performance.
Solutions based on nature, such as well-planned street vegetation, green roofs and walls providing insulation and shade to buildings, contribute to reducing energy demand by limiting the need for heating and cooling and improving a building’s energy performance.
