This report presents the preliminary scoping and analysis of the five technical features related to developing innovative EPC indicators proposed within X-TENDO: (i) smart readiness, (ii) comfort, (iii) outdoor air pollution, (iv) real energy consumption, and (v) district energy. The outcome of this report is an initial mapping and selection of suitable methods for developing indicators for these five features.
This report also presents an overview of existing assessment approaches and methodologies for each feature that could be adopted in the indicator development for the EPCs. Details are provided on the most suitable existing methods that can be applied to assess the five technical indicators when integrated with EPCs. Their suitability and applicability to EPCs are analysed in a broader context, including building typologies and ranking/scoring techniques.
The report also evaluates existing links between these methods and the energy performance of a building/EPCs to determine how these can be integrated into the feature development. Since most assessment methods require some data related to end-users, their legal boundaries are also studied.
