​On the 12th and 13th of July, D^2EPC partners met at the consortium meeting for the final time before the completion of the project in August this year. The meeting took place in Delft, The Netherlands, and was hosted by partner DEMO Consultants. On the first day, we started with the presentation about Project Management which was given by project coordinator CERTH. We continued with WP1 where some tasks are currently in their third and final period. In WP2 presentations, updates regarding additional indicators were given, followed by a short coffee break. Further on we continued with the technical WPs where progress on the D^2EPC platform and its modules was demonstrated. After that, we sat down for lunch. The final presentations of the first day were dedicated to the demonstration WP, followed by the workshop on the evaluation & assessment of D^2EPC pilots. In the evening we gathered for the social dinner and enjoyed the evening with some good food. On the second day, we reviewed the work performed within the policy-related WP and we evaluated communication and dissemination activities. We concluded the day and the meeting with the workshop on the adoption of standardization for the operational rating.

​In this meeting, we were able to see the great progress we achieved in the past period, as most of the tasks and results are now in their final stage. The whole consortium worked hard throughout the 3 years of the project enabling all the pieces to finally come together. It is a pleasure to work in a group of so many competent partners where collaboration did not bring just good results but also good friendships that were formed through the thick and thin of the project.

D^2EPC at the International Conference of the Energy Performance of Buildings

Jun 19, 2023

On the 8th and 9th of June, an International conference of the energy performance of buildings took place in Bucharest, Romania, where the D^2EPC project was represented by Paris Fokaides and Nikos Mpouzianas. 

The role of operational rating for achieving the nZEB target: The need for new standards

This study aims to explore the role of energy operational rating in achieving the goal of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs). Using evidence from the EU funded DEPC project, we demonstrate how energy savings can be achieved through operational rating. Our findings suggest that operational rating can help to bridge the performance gap between predicted and actual energy consumption, leading to a more efficient use of energy in buildings. Furthermore, we discuss ongoing efforts towards the development and adoption of a new CEN standard on building operational rating. This standard aims to provide a common framework for assessing and comparing the energy performance of buildings across Europe. By promoting transparency and accountability, the s​​tandard can help to increase public awareness and understanding of energy use in buildings, and ultimately drive the uptake of nZEBs.​

Building Renovation Roadmapping: An automated methodology framework for energy efficiency improvement and sustainable renovation planning

This study presents a novel methodology for automated retrofitting scenario generation in buildings. The proposed schema is closely linked with the concept of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and is in line with the latest EU regulatory framework. By utilizing BIM documentation, a well-informed representation of the examined asset can be obtained automatically. Based on the current condition, the asset's as-designed energy consumption is estimated and areas that require renovation are identified, including the framework estimates the asset's energy consumption as designed and identifies areas that require renovation, including both the building envelope and technical systems. A set of renovation solutions is then generated, resulting in a renovation roadmap that prioritizes changes with the greatest impact and meets the needs of stakeholders. The proposed methodology provides a promising approach to help building owners and stakeholders identify and prioritize energy-saving retrofitting measures, thus contributing to the achievement of sustainability and energy efficiency goals.

On the 24th of May, the D^2EPC project, together with E-Dyce and ePANACEA, organised its final conference, which took place in Brussels. Several stakeholders from all over Europe attended the event as they did not want to miss the opportunity to learn more about Next Generation EPCs.

The conference was divided into 4 main parts:

Part 1: Overall context, moderated by Mr. Alexander Deliyannis (Sympraxis), hosted speakers such as Pau Garcia Audi (DG ENER), Anastasiya Yurchyshyna, (ECTP), Flourentzos Flourentzou (ESTIA), and the coordinators of the 3 projects: Dimos Ioannidis from D^2EPC, Michal Pomianowski from e-Dyce and Maria Fernandez Boneta from ePANACEA. The three coordinators gave a quick introduction and perspective of each project.

Part 2: Synthesis of insights from the 3 projects, coordinated by Andrei Vladimir (REHVA). In this section, a summary of insights from the 3 projects, represented by Stavros Koltsios (D^2EPC), Michal Pomianowski & Giacomo Chiesa (e-Dyce), and Aitor Dominguez & Laura Muhr (ePANACEA), was made.

Part 3: Specific results of the 3 projects, was led by Maarten de Groote (VITO), with the participation of Paris Fokaides (D^2EPC), Olena Larsen, Giacomo Chiesa & Vagelis Alifragkis (e-Dyce) and Mohsen Sharifi & María Fernandez (ePANACEA). This part was concluded with questions from the audience to the representatives of the 3 projects. 

Part 4: Third-party views, was chaired by Paris Fokaides. In this last and most interactive part, Vivian Dorizas gave a brief introduction about the changes in the EPBD related to the EPC. After this, she joined a round table, together with Naghmeh Altmann, Andrei Vladimir Litiu, Stavros Koltsios, and Leandro Madrazo. Moderated by Paris Fokaides, 7 questions on different aspects of EPCs were discussed.

Finally, Sussanne Bruner and Laura Muhr, prepared an online quiz, where all the attendees, both physically and virtually could participate. They were introduced to different questions from the 3 projects in which they had to vote between different possible answers.

To conclude, each coordinator pointed out the highlights of the conference, which was a great opportunity to exchange information. It was observed that there are many things that the three projects have in common, such as identified gaps, however, each project is developing its own tool and methodology on how to overcome the recognised issues. The next steps are still unknown, but what is clear is that we will all continue to work in this field to improve the current assessment and thus contribute to the improvement of the building stock.
