The EPC RECAST project is focused on developing a transparent, common, and explicit data model (i.e., input data to be collected for EPC assessments and calculations) which will support the characterization of existing buildings and dwellings during on-site inspections by professional certifiers and improve the comparability between Energy Performance Certificates. These Energy Performance Certification (EPC) …

To make the EPCs more reliable, particular attention must be paid to the reliability of the data that allow the evaluation of the key performance indicators. These building characterisation data concern the intrinsic characteristics of the various envelope components and HVAC systems, they are qualified and quantified mainly during the on-site inspection of the building …

D1.5 (Data acquisition protocol for the geometry and semantics within the onsite visit – Consolidated) is part of Work Package 1 (Methodology and protocol definition), specifically Task 1.2 (Capturing the building geometry and semantics). This task aims at defining the data acquisition technique as part of an EPC visit. This task connects image capture and …

This task will set up a Policy Advisory Board (PAB) and will involve it at key milestones of the project inorder to gather constructive feedback and guidance for the technical activities conducted in EPC RECAST. The board will be formed by experts from key decision-making public and local authorities involved in the definition and implementation …
