CHRONICLE – CHRONICLE tool suite for WLC assessment and climate neutral building renovation planning: 1st revision

In this deliverable, two major tools developed within the CHRONICLE project are presented, namely the Renovation Planner and the Investment Appraiser.
The Renovation Planner is an application designed for end-users that provides a customized long-term renovation roadmap tailored to a specific building. It considers the unique characteristics of the building and how these may change over its lifetime. Furthermore, the generated renovation plans are evaluated based on specific KPIs and the user may select their preferred plan based on the KPIs that are of greater significance to them. Finally, the Renovation Planner provides a complete Building Renovation Passport including the generated and selected renovation roadmap along with other relevant information like maintenance details, contractor details and public and/or private renovation grants.

The Investment Appraiser is a tool designed to evaluate different cost KPIs, including Life Cycle Cost, Whole Life Carbon, and return on investment (ROI) of renovation projects, among others. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits associated with a project, helping users make informed investment decisions.

Both tools are interconnected and work in synergy with other tasks within the CHRONICLE project. They contribute to the overall goal of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of renovation and investment projects.
