Research and Incorporation of Local Information

  1. Building Standards and Norms: In Portugal, the equivalent to the German DIN EN 12831 for heating load calculation is the "Regulamento de Desempenho Energético dos Edifícios de Habitação" (REH), which includes methodologies for calculating energy needs. The local equivalent of EN ISO 6946 for U-value calculation is also covered under the same regulation.

  2. Building Energy Regulations: The current building energy code in Portugal is the "Sistema de Certificação Energética dos Edifícios" (SCE), which mandates energy performance certificates for buildings. Minimum insulation requirements and U-value limits are specified under this system.

  3. Subsidies and Financial Incentives: Portugal offers several government subsidy programs for energy efficiency improvements. The "Fundo de Eficiência Energética" (FEE) provides financial support for heat pump installations, building insulation, and solar/PV systems. Eligibility criteria and funding amounts vary, and regional variations may apply.

  4. Energy Labels and Certificates: The local energy labeling system is part of the SCE, which requires energy performance certificates for buildings. This system aligns with EU regulations but has specific local adaptations.

These local adaptations and regulations should be considered when discussing energy efficiency and renewable energy topics in Portugal.
