Over the past three years, TIMEPAC has been envisioning and deploying future scenarios to transform building energy performance assessments into dynamic evaluations that consider buildings as integral parts of the built environment. The insights gained from these efforts have been disseminated through the TIMEPAC Academy’s training activities, which include webinars and in-class sessions across six EU countries: Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, Slovenia, and Spain.
A key objective of TIMEPAC is to enhance building certification by integrating data from multiple domains, providing a comprehensive understanding of buildings from a sustainability perspective. The recently approved Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) supports the creation of EPC databases that connect with other data sources, and it promotes the complementarity of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) with additional indicators such as the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI).
This end-of-award conference will present and discuss TIMEPAC’s vision and findings with researchers, professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in building energy performance evaluation and renovation.
Title of the conference: Redefining Energy Performance Assessment and Certification of buildings
The conference will happen on Friday, October 4, 2024: from 9:00 to 18:00 at ICAEN Catalan Institute for Energy in Barcelona, Spain.
The conference is structured in three themes:
- Building renovation plans and passport
- Improving and enhancing energy performance certification
- Enhancing building assessment through data integration
Call for papers
We invite researchers, industry experts, and policymakers to submit papers on topics related to enhancing building energy performance certificates, data integration for comprehensive building assessments, and innovative approaches to building renovation. Submissions can focus on new methodologies, case studies, policy analyses, and technological advancements that contribute to the field. Selected papers will be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings.
Please submit your extended abstracts (10,000 characters including spaces, plus 1-2 images and references) by July 15, 2024 to info@timepac.eu. Submissions will be reviewed by the conference scientific committee. Notification of acceptance will be July 27, 2024
