Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
EPA-NR supports the implementation process of the European Buildings Directive for existing non-residential building stock. Implementation is affected by standards set by CEN and has to fit into specific local contexts of the different countries or regions. A method and a set of tools (including an intake checklist, inspection protocol and calculation software) will be developed in a modular and flexible way, to simplify adjustment to local or future conditions. The method and tools will be tested in pilot projects (three in each participating country).
Main target groups are energy consultants and policy makers. Policy makers are addressed in particular by a report on application strategies (how to address and involve various stakeholders in the process of improving the energy performance of existing buildings).
The EPA-NR team of experts is involved in many related projects and initiatives, both European (e.g. EPA-ED, ENPER-EXIST, EPLabel) and national, and will build on this to benefit EPA-NR.
Expected and/or achieved results:
• a method and tools to assess the energy performance of existing non-residential buildings, including:
- energy calculation software (based on asset rating, with the possibility to provide tailored advice),
- inspection protocol dedicated to the specific characteristics of existing buildings,
- checklist for the intake interview;
• pilot projects (3 in each of the 7 participating countries) to test the method and tools in practice;
• application strategies for EPA-NR in practice;
• survey on the national context and need for instruments related to the European Buildings Directive in existing non-residential buildings in all EU Member States;
• wide set of dissemination activities (national feedback committees and workshops, international workshop combined with ENPER-EXIST and EPLabel, network of currently 8 observer countries, cooperation with related projects like ENPEREXIST and the Concerted Action, brochures, website, CD-Rom).
