The TIMEPAC Academy will host free in-class training sessions for building professionals on the next generation of certification methods and tools needed to support the renovation of Europe’s building stock in multiple European cities throughout the months of May and June 2024.
After a well-attended series of online training webinars that took place in February and March, the TIMEPAC Academy will now be offering the opportunity for building experts to go deeper into the next generation of building certification methods and tools by hosting a series of in-class training sessions in local languages across several European cities. Here below the topics, cities and dates:
Barcelona, SPAIN- Language CA/ES

Torino, ITALY – Language IT
- 29/30 May 2024, 8:30 to 14:00 CET
Exploitation of EPC for local, regional and national energy planning. Explore the potential to use EPC databases to develop an archetype-based urban building energy model, as devised in the TIMEPAC project. The webinar offers comprehensive training in statistical analysis of the EPC database, with the goal of leveraging it for benchmarking initiatives.
Vienna, AUSTRIA – Language DE
- 5 June 2024, 9:00 to 17:00 CET
The new Energy Performance of Buildings Directive: approaches to implementation, data and tools. Topics to be covered include the Energy Performance Certificate compared to the Renovation Passport, data repositories, data availability and reliability, planning and progress reporting, and the further development of the long-term renovation strategy in Austria.
Nicosia, Cyprus – Language GR/EN
- 23 September 2024, 8:30 to 16:00 CET
Operational optimisation of building energy performance based on activities during EPC generation. In this free course, participants will learn firsthand how to integrate various activities (EPC generation, energy auditing, and Re-Co) and provide solid recommendations for improving the energy performance of buildings.

Background
Europe’s building stock covers some 25 billion square meters of floor space, of which 75% is residential. Therefore, retrofitting plays a major role in achieving the climate targets set for 2050. The EU Green Deal and its Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) are crucial for tackling climate change and energy poverty by spurring a wave of building renovations.
TIMEPAC’s vision is fully aligned with the approach to Energy Performance Certification introduced in the latest revision of the EPBD. The EU funded project’s focus has been on enhancing energy certification processes, shifting from a single, static certification model to more comprehensive approaches that consider a wide-ranging management of data generated throughout the energy performance certification process and treating buildings as dynamic and integral components of a broader built environment.
