Summary

The authors present the calculation strategy of the new Bbio indicator of the French energy regulation for new buildings (RT2012) that aims at assessing the quality of the bioclimatic design of low-energy buildings. It is a weighted sum of three needs: heating, cooling and lighting. The thermal model for assessing the heating and the cooling needs is strongly inspired by the simple hourly computation of NF EN ISO 13790. They show the thermal model is at level A of the CEN validation procedure of dynamic thermal computation. The lighting efficiency is evaluated dynamically by computing artificial needs using a day light factor and the luminous flux penetrating inside.
