Low Carbon Scenarios for South East Europe: Case Study of Albania Zsuzsa SZALAY, Aleksandra NOVIKOVA, Tamás CSOKNYAI, József FEILER Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary, [email protected] Why buildings of Albania, Serbia, and Montenegro? Building sector responsible for 38-44% of the final energy consumption, 66-74% of the electricity consumption (2013) Small countries- small departments responsible for energy efficiency planning Low thermal comfort standards Outdated wooden stoves widespread Contracting members of the Energy Community Treaty SLED: Support for Low Emission Development in South East Europe Objective To assist the design of climate mitigation policies in the residential buildings of Albania, Serbia, and Montenegro with the information on: What are the future trends of energy consumption and CO2 emissions? What are the key influencing factors? What are the priority sector segments for policies? What kind of policy packages and what level of policy efforts are required to make the residential buildings low energy/carbon in the medium/long term future? What are the associated costs? How high are possible energy savings and CO2 emission reduction? and… our aim was not only to supply ready results, but also to increase the capacity of policy-makers and experts to conduct their own assessment. Modelling steps Bottom-up model for thermal energy services Architects & policy experts Economists & policy experts Step 1: Development of the building topology Step 5: Construction of the building stock model Step 2: Calculation of the present building performance Step 6: Construction and calibration of the energy sector in the base year Step 3: Calculation of possible retrofit packages (BAU, standard, ambitious) Step 7: Calculation of baseline energy consumption and CO2 emissions until 2030 Step 4: Calculation of costs for retrofit packages Step 8: Formulation of policy packages, evaluation of their impact and associated costs Building typology in Albania 1.

Moderate scenario New buildings • comply with the building codes recently adopted or to be adopted • these codes correspond to the characteristics of the measures of the “standard” improvement. • will be retrofitted by 2050 in Albania and by 2070 in Serbia and Montenegro to the standard level and will get financial support for that. Existing buildings Grants will be provided to cover eligible costs for: Low income households Households in large buildings : 90% of the retrofitted households in 2016 declining to 10% of them by the target year Low interest loans will be provided to cover eligible costs for: The rest of the households in small houses The rest of the households in row houses and apartment buildings Ambitious scenario Additionally to the assumptions of the moderate scenario: New buildings Existing buildings • after 2023: comply with the building codes to be introduced in that year; • these codes correspond to the characteristics of the measures of the “ambitious” improvement; • before 2023: are eligible for low-interest loans to cover eligible costs, if their performance achieve that according to the 2023 building code • will be retrofitted by 2050 in all countries and will get financial support for that (the same structure as in the moderate scenario) • until 2022, will have to comply with the standard improvement • after 2023, will have to comply with the ambitious improvement Results: LEAP model for Albania Results: SLED Ambitious Albania - Final energy consumption 35% Results: SLED Ambitious Albania - Electricity savings 49% Conclusions In all three countries, both moderate and ambitious policy scenarios may deliver significant energy savings Sector priorities for policy-making are different for each country. In Albania, it is important to ensure that buildings built after 1991 will be retrofitted In Serbia and Montenegro, it is important to retrofit the building stock constructed in 1971 – 1990 For all countries it makes sense to focus on energy savings in small buildings. Space heating is the largest energy use for energy savings. Conclusions The investments required are high in all three countries Need to couple thermal efficiency improvement of existing buildings with their BAU renovation Need to enforce retrofits at the point of sale The investments into all scenarios except for the Serbian ambitious scenario are cost-effective or on the border of cost-effectiveness. Saved energy costs are higher than annualized investment costs as a whole on the country level, but not for all building categories in all climate zones. It is important to calculate other benefits additionally to saved energy costs The realization of the scenarios requires a careful design and massive provision of financial products for the residential energy efficiency as well as the introduction and enforcement of building codes.
