INTRODUCTION
QCVN 09:2013/BXD - “Energy Efficiency Building Code” was developed by the Vietnam Association of
Civil Engineering Environment, put forward by the Department of Science, Technology and
Environment Department, and enacted by the Ministry of Construction under Circular 15 /2013/TT-
BXD, dated on September 26, 2013. The National Energy Efficiency Building Code QCVN
09:2013/BXD shall supersede the Vietnam Energy Efficiency Building Code QCXDVN 09:2005 ratified
under the Minister of Construction’s Decision 40/2005/QĐ-BXD of November 17, 2005.
The National Energy Efficiency Building Code QCVN 09:2013/BXD was developed with research inputs
and contributions of international consultants from various external donors, including the
International Finance Corporation (IFC), the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) and the Danish Energy Agency (the Kingdom of Denmark).

Notes:
1) Coefficient of performance of air-conditioners: COP = refrigerant output/power input (kW/ kW);
2) Condenser units, including the compressor and condenser coils;
3) Minimum coefficients of performance listed in the Table are calculated at 100% of refrigerant
output. To calculate the coefficient of performance for AC units running for one year, ARI 340/360
uses the following equation:
IEER = 0.020A + 0.617B + 0.238C + 0.125D (W/W)
where,
IEER – Integrated energy efficiency ratio: coefficient of performance of AC units running for one
year at various loads.
A = EER –coefficient of performance of the AC unit (W/W) at full load;
B = EER – coefficient of performance of the AC unit (W/W) at 75% load;
C = EER – coefficient of performance of the AC unit (W/W) at 50% load;
D = EER – coefficient of performance of the AC unit (W/W) at 25% load.

Notes: The total thermal resistance of exterior walls is calculated using the heat transfer coefficient
of the exterior surface - hN= 25 W/m2.K and heat transfer coefficient of the interior surface - hT=
7,692 W/m2.K – see Table 3, Annexes.
3.2. ROOF
M2. Roofing with a 105 mm thick hollow brick insulating layer and 150 mm thick porous concrete
=1000 kg/m3
With composition similar to the M1 roof, but with an additional 150 mm thick lightweight concrete –
porous concrete layer =1000 kg/m3 - =0.41 W/(m.K) on top of the heat insulating tiles, resulting in
a total thermal resistance of the M2 roof of Ro=1.006 m 2.K/W – qualified.
