1
A European Campaignfor the Display of
Information on theEnergy, CO2 and Water
Performance of Municipal Buildings

• DG ENVIRONMENT - DG TREN
• 2003-2007

2
Display - Objectives

• Running a Campaign for the implementation of a
  poster displaying CO2 emissions as well as energy
  and water consumptions in municipal buildings
• Anticipating the entry into force of the Building
  Directive by encouraging a bottom-up-oriented
  approach, thus preparing the grounds for any
  implementation

 Buildings  Directive article 7

• Member States shall take measures to ensure that
  for buildings with a total useful floor area over
  1,000 m2 occupied by public authorities and by
  institutions providing public services to a large
  number of persons and therefore frequently
  visited by these persons an energy certificate,
  not older than 10 years, is placed in a prominent
  place clearly visible to the public.
•  
• The range of recommended and current indoor
  temperatures and, when appropriate, other
  relevant climatic factors may also be clearly
  displayed.

The Building Directive

• The proposed measures
• Application of a methodology of calculation for
  the integrated performance of buildings (Common
  Framework)
• Setting of performance requirements in new and
  existing buildings (national or regional level)
• Certification schemes for all buildings
• Display of the certificats in the public
  buildings
• Transposition required until January 2006

Assets of Display

• Makes energy and climate issues comprehensible to
  non-specialists
• Encourages the population to take action
• Promotes the municipalitys in-house initiatives
• Has been elaborated with and by the cities
• Can be used everywhere in Europe

The Display Poster

• Aimed at being displayed in the building
• Edited by the citys energy manager on the basis
  of a calculation tool, available on-line
  at www.display-campaign.org
• Calculation tool
• Calculation of energy, water and CO2 consumption
  ratios
• Classification of the buildings, ranging from A
  to G (cf. household appliances)
• ? Simple, easily communicable
• ? Common for all European cities
