WORKSHOP - Energy Performance Contracting in combination with innovative deep building renovation processes and technologies
Energy Performance Contracting in combination with innovative deep building renovation processes and technologies
29th June | 13.30–17.30 PM CEST
Brussels, Ibis Brussels City Centre. Rue Joseph Plateau No. 2
The StepUP Project invites you to a workshop to learn on how the innovative smartEPC model for building renovation, developed in Belgium, is being extended with some of the methodologies, processes and technologies covering every phase of the renovation process. As part of this Horizon2020 funded European project, project partners worked on making smartEPC based renovations even more effective, by incorporating the stakeholder needs at the center of the model.
The workshop will be held in English and is free of charge. The capacity is limited to 40 people, so do not delay in making your reservation.
Topics
- This workshop is aimed at all market players working in the field of financing, energy efficiency and EPC contracting with the following key topics:
- What are the key components of the StepUP project and its underlying processes and technologies for Deep Energy Renovation?
- What is the smartEPC performance-based model for building renovation, greater energy savings, improved comfort and quality maintenance?
- How did Belgium’s smartEPC project for 7 public buildings at the municipality of Beersel, show how deep renovation of a school was combined with more shallow renovations of other buildings?
- What lessons have been learned from the Hungarian pilot case for deep energy renovation of a kindergarten?
About StepUP
The StepUP project is developing affordable solutions and technologies aimed at transforming the energy renovation market and making the decarbonization of existing buildings a reliable, attractive and sustainable investment. It has developed and tested a new process for deep energy renovation with fast design to operation feedback loops. This will reduce the performance gap and optimise investments, while scaling up promising Plug&Play technologies to minimise disruption, as well as maximising impact on energy, costs, and user comfort.About smartEPC for deep renovation
smartEPC on the other hand, has a proven track record of being one of the most robust methods to design and implement Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) for large building renovations. Several StepUP partners, including Energinvest – developer of the smartEPC model, back in 2011 – have teamed together for the last 36 months to combine the StepUP processes and technologies with the smartEPC methodology to address performance-based deep renovation projects.
