As the European Union continues to drive ambitious climate goals, the need for innovative approaches to building energy performance has never been more urgent. To address this, the TIMEPAC consortium is excited to invite you to our Final Conference titled “Innovating Energy Certification: Transforming Building Performance Assessment,” taking place on October 4, 2024, in the vibrant city of Barcelona.
What to Expect at the Conference:
This event will bring together thought leaders, policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals who are shaping the future of building energy efficiency across Europe. Over the course of the day, we will explore groundbreaking developments related to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), along with innovative approaches to building assessment and renovation.
Keynote Presentation by Pau Garcia Audi
We are honored to have Pau Garcia Audi, Policy Officer at the Directorate-General for Energy Efficiency of the European Commission, delivering the keynote address. He will provide an in-depth look at the latest updates to the EPBD and what they mean for the future of building energy performance in the EU.
Engaging Round Table Sessions
The conference will feature three round table sessions, each focusing on critical aspects of building energy certification and assessment:
Session 1: Legislative Context and Requirements for Deep Renovation of EU Building Stock
Delve into the role of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in the renovation of residential buildings. Discussions will cover the latest legislative requirements, building stock assessment, financial investments, and the development of new professional services.Session 2: Improving and Enhancing Energy Performance Certification
Explore how EPCs can be complemented by other certification schemes, such as the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI). We’ll discuss the importance of integrating sustainability into certifications and using operational data for more accurate long-term performance evaluation.Session 3: Enhancing Building Assessment through Data Integration
Discover how Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be utilized throughout a building’s lifecycle. This session will also cover the integration of digital logbooks, BIM, renovation passports, and the challenges of combining data from various sources.
Presentation of Research Papers
A selection of research papers will also be presented, showcasing innovative approaches to building energy performance, data integration, and the future of energy certification. These papers will highlight new methodologies, case studies, policy analyses, and technological advancements that are paving the way for more sustainable building practices.
