Energy efficiency certificate and complementary help tools
We can recognize that at this point the certification programs and, in particular, the IDAE's Ce3X program (the most widely used) few changes have been made in its application since the availability of the energy certificate report began on a mandatory basis. A few updates to the Ce3X application in versions, which more than a benefit, in some cases, has been a headache for some certifying technician by denoting problems in their installation (Currently we have the CE3X latest update 1.3).
And on the other hand, from OVACEN we continue to ask ourselves when will proceed to update the regulations in the field of energy certification and update the official programs to adapt it to the new requirements of the Technical Code DB-HE 2013. That is another issue , that we are not going to enter…. And we'll see what happens!
Tools of the energy efficiency certificate before the Ce3X?
*Most of the means that we show are aimed at Ce3X, which honestly, is the most used program in the drafting of energy efficiency certificates. We do not get into the way of doing things, rather, in finding resources - free - that facilitate our daily work.
Data collection. At this point, who does not have a fine-tuned data collection for the on-site visit, as a friend says … "malament". But on the web we can find a series of standard tables to fill in. As examples:
- From the COACM …HERE WestHERE.
- From a Linkedin user (Albert Soler Guna, which is to be appreciated) … HERE.
- From certificador.com … HERE
- From the Ministry of Industry … HERE (It is the official manual, where at the end a data collection is identified)
At this point, if we examine the network we will find different online applications (websites) or apps to be able to perform the data collection of the energy efficiency certificate in a table or mobile, mainly adapted for the Ce3X program (In most cases the full report can be made). As we have already lost ourselves with the existing apps on the network, it is a difficult issue to assess, what we can confirm is that Efinovatic (one of the creators of the Ce3X program. Formerly Efinova) have an application for this purpose … Web application in energy certification. (As a matter of fact, there is a mobile app that we find interesting… Measure a room in three seconds!… From:App for architecture)
Ce3X program data entry
Undoubtedly at this point, and highly recommended having installed the administrative data plugin and energy prices (Here - You have to register) and a new ISOVER plugin … CE3X improvement measures plugin. Some links in this portal that will help us to obtain information for the efficiency certificate:
- Thermal transmittance (6 worksheets)
- Correct orientation via Cadastre
- Editable energy label
- Construction cost banks
- Catalogs for the economic study of the energy certificate.
- Windows guide (Certification process)
One of the "blackest" points and with the most minutes invested in work is the shadow pattern of the energy certificate. We found a place that we could obtain them online, internet apps that calculate it without being - on our part - very convinced. Even from this portal we carry out a shadow pattern tool,without convincing ourselves too much, or convincing users (A very simple excel) … How can we save time with the shadow pattern before an energy efficiency certificate? Well, using a wonderful work ofOscar Redondo Rivera placeholder image. An Excel that can save us time and reach a better understanding of the shadow pattern.
As for the instructions, they can be viewed in Excel itself. Oscar has commented to us, that possibly soon he will give us all a video-tutorial about it.
Currently this tool as well as four others are made and provided free of charge byOscar Redondo Rivera: (Available tools)
- Comparator of results Ce3x and CE3
- Shadow patterns for Ce3x and CE3
- Solar Thermal. Application of the CTE-HE 2013
- Structures Calculation of metal frames
- Waste management
