D^2EPC, E-DYCE & ePANACEA Joint Final Conference
2023-05-24
Three EU-funded Horizon 2020 projects, D^2EPC, E-DYCE & ePANACEA , joined forces in organizing a final conference to present their outcomes, as all of them are reaching their end after 3 years of hard work. The event was held physically on the 24th of May 2023 at Hotel Le Plaza in Brussels. The conference focused on “Next Generation Energy Performance Assessment, Rating and Certification: Towards a Smart and Decarbonised Future for European Buildings” where each project presented its own findings on how to optimize and extend the use of Energy Performance Certificates.

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.

Next Generation Energy Performance Assessment, Rating and Certification: Towards a Smart and Decarbonised Future for European Buildings D^2EPC, E-DYCE & ePANACEA Final Conference 24 May 2023, Brussels & online
2023-05-24
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.

Webinar: Data collection and processing for dynamic EPC
2022-12-14 09:00 - 10:30 (Europe/Berlin)
“Dynamic energy performance evaluation of buildings in operation requires gathering data from a multitude of controllers and sensors. This data collection is enabled by recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) as well as Building Management Systems (BMS) communication interfaces, combined with exploitation of open data.
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.”

The sessions went hybrid, both by physical presence of representatives as well as online for those partners having their travel to Aalborg, Denmark impeded, because of COVID-19 restrictions. The meetings were hosted by project coordinator Aalborg University and led by Assistant Professor Michal Zbigniew Pomianowski.

Most of the partners arrived during the previous day, so a warm welcome was organized by the host, where partners met face to face after a year of just online and written communication. The fruitful exchange of views and opinions and about the progress in project affaires started early, in a very friendly atmosphere. Next day was the official opening of the Meetings distributed in two days’ consecutive sessions, where the work package leaders would provide plentiful summaries on the work done during the second semester of the project.

The meetings were initiated by a general overview and setting the scene by the coordinator and the technical manager of the project. Then the discussion of WP2 “Data modelling and project design” was held mainly on how to consolidate research done and additional inputs as smart metering, in the Information Model developed and about its evolvement.
After a short break, the WP3 “Simulation and Optimization Enablers” came into the scene to discuss on the methods used and the modelling and integration of the various modes needed to be adapted in the calculations. A workshop followed for partners to debate on their research and achievements. A lunch followed for some rest and more discussions.

The afternoon’s session was devoted first to WP5 “DEPC Demonstrations” to inform partners on progress made with the installation of sensors, collection of data and the general monitoring of the various sites and buildings used in project research. Then WP4 “Extended functionalities and DEPC validation” was brought forward to discuss on technical issues regarding verification of models and simulations used. After its closing a second workshop was held on issues encountered with data monitoring, methodologies used and solutions envisaged; it was agreed that the discussion would be continued early next day.

The second and last day started with the pre-agreed review of few of the most important conclusions drawn in the previous day. Clarifications were provided and minor adjustments were made, whilst it was agreed that few of the issues would be transferred to cross-workpackage virtual conferences, to be held very soon. The last session of the plenary meetings was dedicated to WP6 “Dissemination, exploitation and communication” to discuss on the follow up of the dissemination strategy developed, the enhancement of communication and a short accounting of the so-far accomplishments; a discussion was held on how to encourage a more active participation of all partners in the pertinent activities, during the second year of project. The first overview of the exploitation strategy was also provided and discussed.
The plenary meeting was closed, with a quick review of all accomplishments during the two days’ sessions and celebratory photos of the aggregation were taken. The appointed representatives of the partners continued to the planned project’s Third (3rd) Steering Committee Meeting, after a short break.
