Figure 1C10 – Energy mix in the non-residential sector in the EU 27 together with Switzerland and Norway and corresponding difference compared to 1990 profile (DH denotes district heating and CHP denotes Combined Heat and Power) Source: Eurostat database RES 1% DH& CHP 6% Solid fuels 1% Oil 15% DH&CHP RES Difference compared to 1990 Electricity 48% 2009 146Mtoe Gas 29% Electricity Gas Oil Solid fuels -20 -10 0 10 20 30 Mtoe Based on our data, it is estimated that the average specific energy consumption in the non-residential sector is 280kWh/m 2 (covering all end-uses). This is at least 40% larger than the equivalent value for the residential sector. Within the non-residential sector, variations are expected from country to country and also from one building type to another. These variations are clearly illustrated in Figure 1C11, where the specific energy use in offices, educational buildings, hospitals, hotel & restaurants and sports facilities are presented for a number of countries. While hospitals are, on average, at the top of the scale with continuous occupancy and high-energy intensity levels, their overall non-residential consumption is small. This is also the case with hotels & restaurants, which are equally energy intensive. While these two categories represent the highest energy intensive type in specific terms, offices, wholesale & retail trade buildings, on the other hand, represent more than 50% of energy use. Education and sports facilities account for a further 18% of the energy use while other buildings account for some 6%.

Specific energy use (kWh/m 2 a) in non-residential buildings 500 SI UK CZ FR FI BG 400 300 200 100 0 Sport facilities Wholesale and Retail Hotel & Restaurants Hospitals Educational buildings Offices Construction techniques of non-residential buildings are in large similar to those in residential buildings as the majority of data collected have illustrated similar performance characteristics (e.g. U values, air tightness levels) between the two types built during the same period. While the energy performance discussion for the residential buildings above applies also to the nonresidential sector (hence similar renovation measures should be considered), the installation of smart energy management systems in non-residential buildings becomes more important due to their high share of electricity use. For example, the deployment of efficient lighting control systems has substantial potential in the non-residential sector as electricity consumption for office lighting, which has been estimated to be 164 TWh in 2007 in the EU27 20 , is among the highest end-use in this sector. The replacement of incandescent lamps with CFLs in office and street lighting as a stand-alone measure has been reported to have an annual savings potential of 38 TWh by 2020, which in turn illustrates the high savings potential in lighting end-use. 20 Characterization of Residential Lighting Consumption in the Enlarged European Union and Policies to Save Energy, Paolo Bertoldi & Bogdan Atanasiu, DG Joint Research Centre, Institute for Environment and Sustainability, 2008 Europe’s buildings under the microscope | 53
