E-DYCE

Visit to the Town Hall building, Eptanisou 11
2022-09-19 15:30 - 17:00 (Europe/Athens) | Eptanisou 11, Eptanisou 11, Nicosia, 21015, Cyprus
The European Horizon2020 research project E-DYCE, in collaboration with the Nicosia Municipality, is organizing two (2) guided tours to discover bioclimatic architectural strategies applied to buildings to reduce energy consumption, and to urban space to mitigate the heat island phenomenon.
In the first guided tour, participants will discover the bioclimatic principles of the new Nicosia Town Hall. The visit planned to last 1.5 hours approximately, will be guided by the project architect Mr. Richard Dickon Irwin and by the building and urban space physicist Dr. Flourentzos Flourentzou, to explain the design principles: natural ventilation, solar shading, choice of colours, natural light, cooling techniques in summer and solar gains in winter, exposed thermal mass to reduce energy consumption.
The participation list will be closed according to the priority of the first thirty (30) registered persons. Participation of one (1) person per registration will be strictly adhered to.
After the thirty (30) registrations have been completed, any additional persons wishing to participate may send an email to the Program (to be found at the end of each webpage of this site).

E-DYCE 6th Plenary and Steering Committee Meeting (PSC) in Nicosia, Cyprus, on September 19th to 21st, 2022
2022-09-19 15:00 - 2022-09-21 17:30 (Europe/Athens) | Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus
In the beginning of the 3rd and final year of the E-DYCE project, the consortium organized its 6th PCS Meeting in Nicosia, Cyprus. The meeting took place in the Multipurpose Municipal Center of Nicosia, courtesy of the Municipality of Nicosia, and was organized by partner ESTIA.
All partners of the consortium met in person for three (3) days to evaluate the progress of the project, by presenting and discussing all the effort and updated achievements in all ongoing Work Packages. Moreover, a very fruitful and in-depth assessment on the future work planning and the upcoming activities during project’s critical final year, took place.
We were pleased that 4 members of project’s Advisory Board joined the meeting providing their valuable thoughts and recommendations. Ms. Tine Steen Larsen, Mr. Nikos Hadjinicolaou and Mr. Savvas Valchos participated in person, whilst Mr. Claude-Alain Roulet participated on-line.
Initially, our coordinator Prof. Michal Pomianowski from AAU presented the status of the project, together with the co-coordinator Asst. Prof. Giacomo Chiesa from POLITO.
Afterwards, the WP & Task leaders presented the ongoing work, as well as the description of next semester planned actions. The consortium assessed the results achieved so far, and the partners exchanged ideas on how to address the major challenges of the project.
A brief description of the work and the upcoming activity for each WP is following below.

During the second day an important workshop took place were the value proposition of 4 different personas (authorities, public administrators, building owners and EPC experts, was identified.

Finally, E-DYCE project in collaboration with the Nicosia Municipality, organized two (2) guided tours to discover bioclimatic architectural strategies applied to buildings to reduce energy consumption, and to urban space to mitigate the “heat island” phenomenon. The tours were also open to the public.

During the meeting the general overview of the progress and the future work of all E-DYCE Work Packages towards a Dynamic Energy Performance Certification were analyzed and discussed. Particularly, the task leaders have shortly illustrated the ongoing work and the description of next semester planned actions. Most importantly the consortium assesses the results achieved so far and the partners exchanged ideas on how to address the major challenges of the project.
Discussions of this project meeting were especially focused on the formulation on the Dynamic EPC protocol (KPIs) including data availability and pilot needs (WP2). Additionally, valuable discussions were performed on improving the dynamic simulation methods (WP3) and on the integration approaches (WP4) assisting the key objectives of the project towards a novel and holistic renovation roadmap to all demo cases (WP5). Finally, a detailed and in-depth discussion was dedicated on the dissemination and communication activities (WP6).

Plenary and Steering Committee Meeting
2021-09-23 09:00 - 2021-09-24 14:00 (Europe/Berlin)
On September 23rd and 24th 2021, the partners’ consortium of E-DYCE had a plenary and its third (3rd) Steering Committee Meeting.
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.
