EUBsuperhub is a European project funded by the European Union's H2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101033916. The project will support the evolvement of the certification process in Europe by the development of a scalable methodology to view, assess and monitor the buildings through their lifecycle, in a virtual marketplace.
Starting from the request for the transformation of the existing building stock in the EU member states into more sustainable and energy efficient buildings, envisaged by the Green Deal of the European Commission, the EUBSuperHub project carried out research on EPCs issued in the various Member States by analyzing the individual indicators that compose them and their process of elaboration. The result was a heterogeneity of the certificates in terms of quality, for example different indicators, methodologies, data and skills, visibility and usability.
The CEN Workshop “A Harmonization of KPIs for the next generation of EPCs” will develop a CEN CWA with the objective of take concepts of EUBSuperHub project and provide the contents of the new generation of EPCs, defining unique and shared indicators and calculation methodologies based on existing technical standards, legislative devices and evaluation protocols of sustainability. This information, aggregated to the building logbook, can be entered in a specific database, with the possible support of other IT tools, through a process of digitization so that they can be used by professionals and public administration for any energy and sustainable requalification interventions and verification of existing assets.
The target group of the CWA is: facility manager, architects, engineers, building administrator, building owners and tenants, who may be professional ones, public or private, or simple citizens, as well as research and development departments in industry and research.
More information about the structure, scope and background of the future CWA are available in the draft Project Plan attached.
The kick-off meeting of the Workshop will be held on 2023-04-28, in an hybrid format (at the CCMC Management Centre in Brussels and online). People interested to participate in the kick-off meeting can register through the dedicated online form.
All interested parties are invited to submit comments on the draft Project Plan using the commenting form below, to the Workshop secretary, Mr. Fabio ROSSI (fabio.rossi@uni.com) by 2023-04-24.
