Abstract:
On European level, the requirements regarding the energy features of the buildings are given in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directives (EPBD). The EPBD has set up a common framework according to which the respective countries which are EU members, are supposed to work out or adjust their respective national regulations aiming to improve the energy performance of buildings. In compliance with EPBD, the member countries must establish the minimum requirements regarding the energy sustainability of the building and building elements to the purpose of achieving cost-optimal levels. EPBD proposes a Comparative Methodology Framework, to be used by the member countries when elaborating the comparisons between the minimum energy requirements and the calculated cost-optimal levels. This paper gives a survey of EPBD proposals within the Comparative Methodology Framework.

Key words:
building sector, cost-optimal levels, Comparative Methodology, energy
