This document provides a summary of the activities undertaken in TIMEPAC Task 3.2 “EPC exploitation through advanced analysis ” of Work Package 3 (WP3) “Verification Scenarios”. The main goal of this work package is to validate the results of the Transversal Deployment Scenarios (TDSs) developed in Work Package 2 (WP2) through the involvement of local stakeholders engaged in building certification procedures. With this purpose, a total of nine workshops were organized in six partner countries from October 2023 to January 2024.
Guest speakers and audiences participated in the in-person workshops, which were organised in the same format across the six countries, with TIMEPAC partners presenting the project framework within the context of the EPBD. The topics addressed varied depending on the audience.
In Austria, the focus was on the Renovation Passport, renovation roadmap, challenges in practical implementation, and the enhanced Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with connections to data repositories and BIM tools.
In Croatia, the workshop was combined with Task 3.1 “Improving certification with enhanced EPCs”, leading to discussions on generating EPCs using the BIM approach, EPCs and operational data, EPCs and Renovation Passports, and Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) and sustainability indicators.
In Cyprus, the workshop focused on building renovation scenarios, the enhanced EPC concept, and the Smart Readiness Indicator.
In Italy, professional firms utilizing BIM were engaged, leading to discussions primarily focused on using BIM tools in building renovation projects within the new concept of a renovation roadmap.
In Slovenia, where the workshop covered combined Tasks 3.1 and 3.2, discussions focused on the Smart Readiness Indicator, energy audit processes, and Renovation Passport development.
In Spain, the workshop was divided into two parts, the first about integrating energy certificates with BIM methodologies (Task 3.1), and the second part on integrating SRIs and Level(s), along with building Renovation Passports and certificates (Task 3.2).
Throughout the workshops, stakeholders from diverse backgrounds participated, totalling 136 individuals, primarily falling into the “professionals” category, excluding our project partners. The valuable feedback provided by participants contributed to the preparation of the TIMEPAC Academy activities.
