The post 3rd E-DYCE Webinar: Towards the Dynamic EPCs – EDYCE applications in demo buildings: lessons learned, Torino 25th of August 2023. appeared first on E-DYCE.

The conference contributed to the dialogue ahead of EPCs interlinked with AI, platforms, data and the BIM-based digital twin concept and provided participants the opportunity to discuss about:

• The global context, EU policy context, EPBD Recast, REPower EU etc. regarding EPCs
• The gaps of the existing energy performance certification schemes
• The technology, policy and market insights from the three projects
• Specific results from the three projects
• The opportunities and challenges of dynamic and smart EPCs

The three projects’ specific objectives have been:

Set the grounds for the NextGen of dynamic EPCs for the operational assessment of buildings energy performance, building upon actual data and the ‘digital twin’ concept to enable enhanced multi-parameter assessment and provide improved AI-driven assessment recommendations (D^2EPC project)

The natural evolution of the conventional EPC into real time optimisation of building performance and comfort, by capturing the building’s dynamic behavior, and simultaneously providing transparent feedback, through an intuitive interface (E-DYCE project)

Making use of the most advanced techniques in dynamic and automated simulation modelling, big data analysis and machine learning, inverse modelling or the estimation of potential energy savings and economic viability check (ePANACEA project)

In 2020, D^2EPC, E-DYCE and ePANACEA became part of the Next Gen EPCs cluster which also includes 10 more related projects: X-tendo, U-CERT, QualDeEPC, EPC-RECAST, crossCert, EUBSuperHub, iBRoad2EPC, TIMEPAC, SmartlivingEPC and CHRONICLE.

The conference included summary presentations of outcomes by the 3 projects’ partners, as well as insightful contributions and roundtable discussions with EU experts.

Reaching the end of European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme’s D^2EPC, E-DYCE & ePANACEA projects, a common final conference will be held on 24 May 2023, physically at Le Plaza in Brussels. Participation in the event is free of charge but prior registration is required.

The three projects, each unique with its own perspective on the issue of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), will meet to discuss “Next Generation Energy Performance Assessment, Rating and Certification: Towards a Smart and Decarbonised Future for European Buildings”. The conference aims to contribute to the dialogue ahead of EPCs interlinked with AI, platforms, data and the BIM-based digital twin concept and it will provide participants the opportunity to discuss about:

• The global context, EU policy context, EPBD Recast, REPower EU etc. regarding EPCs
• The gaps of the existing energy performance certification schemes
• The technology, policy and market insights from the three projects
• Specific results from the three projects
• The opportunities and challenges of dynamic and smart EPCs

Most EU Member States have set up a central or regional EPC register to enhance the energy performance of buildings. The EPCs provide information to consumers on buildings they plan to purchase or rent and include an energy performance rating and recommendations for cost-effective improvements. After 10 years of track record, the current EPCs schemes across the EU do not fully accomplish the following objectives: lack of accuracy, a gap between theoretical and real consumption patterns, absence of proper protocols for inclusion of smart and novel technologies, little convergence across EU schemes, lack of trust in the market and very little user awareness related to energy efficiency. In addition, smartness in buildings, which are easy to cope with changes, are not rewarded when buildings are labeled. Overheating, low comfort, demotivation for renovations can be considered as results of poor decisions taken through EPCs.

The three projects’ objectives are:

• Set the grounds for the NextGen of dynamic EPCs for the operational assessment of buildings energy performance, building upon actual data and the ‘digital twin’ concept to enable enhanced multi-parameter assessment and provide improved AI-driven assessment recommendations (D^2EPC project)
• The natural evolution of the conventional EPC into real time optimisation of building performance and comfort, by capturing the building’s dynamic behavior, and simultaneously providing transparent feedback, through an intuitive interface (E-DYCE project)
• Making use of the most advanced techniques in dynamic and automated simulation modelling, big data analysis and machine learning, inverse modelling or the estimation of potential energy savings and economic viability check (ePANACEA project)

D^2EPC, E-DYCE and ePANACEA are completing three years of commitments and achievements in the field of next generation building performance assessment and certification. The projects became part of the Next Gen EPCs cluster in 2020 which includes 10 more similar projects: X-tendo, U-CERT, QualDeEPC, EPC-RECAST, crossCert, EUBSuperHub, iBRoad2EPC, TIMEPAC, SmartlivingEPC and CHRONICLE.

The conference is open to anyone who is interested in the topic. You can register for the final conference here.

Once the data is collected, it is further processed in cloud environments to carry out monitoring analyses that will deliver further value to the building operator and occupants. This processing builds upon modern cloud and data processing technologies, whose recent advances have opened new avenues within building energy and indoor climate management.

Experiences from the E-DYCE demonstration project will be presented in this webinar combining perspectives from industrial actors with full-scale solutions as well as building analysis experts.”

Agenda

09:00 – 09:10 Michal Zbigniew Pomianowski (AAU): Host/Short introduction of E-DYCE project. (10min)

09:10 – 09:20 Tristan de Kerchove (ESTIA): “From EPC to DEPC, the need of monitoring for energy and indoor environment”. (10min)

Short Abstract: To allow a transition from static to dynamic EPC, the dynamic behaviour of the building must be assessed. This is an introduction to the different monitoring possibilities for energy and indoor environment quality. A return of experience from 4 Swiss case studies monitoring installations in the Edyce project is also presented. (10min)

09:20 – 09:30 Pierre Vogler-Finck (NEOGRID): “Industrial data collection and analysis in multi-family residential buildings for online performance evaluation”.

Short Abstract: A key enabling technology of dynamic performance evaluation of buildings is the availability of high resolution measurement data. A number of solutions are nowadays available on the market, and this presentation will introduce a cloud-based example provided by Neogrid. Protocols and technologies relevant to the building sector will be presented in the context of the Danish demonstrators of EDYCE. Lastly, integration of the cloud system with third party tools will be touched upon, to highlight the need for greater interoperability between systems. (10min)

09:30 – 09:40 Giacomo Chiesa (POLITO): “EDYCE Italian demo: monitoring and modelling plan.”

Short Abstract: “The presentation discusses applying and translating the EDYCE methodology into the five Italian demo cases, two schools and three private houses. Treated topics are inspections, data collection to develop initial EnergyPlus models, monitoring plan and sensor implementation, and model verification. The approach is also discussed via dataflows to localise this first EDYCE methodology step into the whole process.” (10min)

09:40 – 09:50 Pedro M Fereira (FCiências.ID): “Self Assessment Towards Optimisation of Building Energy”

Short Abstract: “The SATO project will implement a cloud based platform that can perform self assessment and optimisation of energy consuming devices in a building. This platform will use an artificial intelligence approach combined with 3D BIM based visualisation to provide an accurate vision of the real life energy performance of buildings and appliances.” (10min)

09:50 – 10:00 Dimitris Lokas (CORE): Dimitris Lokas (CORE): “EDYCE Prediction Capabilities in CORE Hybrid Cloud infrastructure”

Short Abstract: “Sensor monitoring data for energy consumption from all demonstration cases and weather data from outer sources is collected for deep learning models development. CORE’s Hybrid infrastructure gives the power for real time inferencing of the models with ability to accurately forecast short, medium and long term weather and energy consumption values of the buildings. The global availability of those forecasts and the wide connectivity options with other platforms are unprecedented due to Cloud technology”.
