Building energy renovation through timber prefabricated modules (BERTIM)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,
About 40% of the overall energy consumption in Europe is related to the building sector and represents about 1/3 of Europe’s CO2 emissions. The successful accomplishment of the emission reduction target by 2050, involves the need to increase the rate of retrofitting of the inefficient building stock up to 2.9%. In order to increase the renovation rate, more efficient renovation processes from desi ...

Modelling Optimization of Energy Efficiency in Buildings for Urban Sustainability (MOEEBIUS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2019,
MOEEBIUS introduces a Holistic Energy Performance Optimization Framework that enhances current (passive and active building elements) modelling approaches and delivers innovative simulation tools which (i) deeply grasp and describe real-life building operation complexities in accurate simulation predictions that significantly reduce the “performance gap” and, (ii) enhance multi-fold, continuous op ...

nearly Zero energy Neighborhoods (ZENN)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
Large scale implementation of building renovation actions is affected by a number of barriers of diverse nature. The need for complex agreements, long returns of investment and the fact that often buildings with the worst performance belong to social low income groups unable to afford comprehensive renovation are amongst the main factors hindering the massive adoption of low or nearly zero energy ...
