This deliverable‘s overarching scope is to develop a comprehensive and integrated approach toward evaluating building operations, focusing on enhancing IEQ, incorporating LCC analysis, and aligning with the principles of EPC. The primary objective of this deliverable is to address the limitations of traditional building assessments that primarily revolve around energy performance metrics. Instead, it seeks to provide a multi-dimensional assessment framework that accounts for IEQ as pivotal in building environments. The deliverable aims to explore the numerous factors influencing these aspects by recognizing the profound impact of IEQ on health, well-being, lifecycle costs, and energy consumption at the operational level.
To achieve this objective, the deliverable outlines specific tasks that will be undertaken throughout its development.
- T3.1 – IEQ (including virus risk mitigation) analysis and integration to SmartLivingEPC involves a comprehensive review of all aspects of IEQ within the built environment.
- T3.2 – Operational level energy analysis and integration to SmartLivingEPC aims to establish a unified operational assessment methodology applicable to all types of buildings
- T3.3 – Financial indicators and integration to SmartLivingEPC will delve into the methodology of LCC to ascertain the overall costs of a building asset over its anticipated life span.
