Surrounding policy instruments to support the iBRoad approach for building renovation take-off. The Report “Stepwise and structured” investigates how surrounding policy instruments can be used to increase the dissemination, adoption, and impact of the iBRoad Building Renovation Roadmaps developed within the iBRoad project. It also investigates approaches on how to […]
Barriers and drivers for countries willing to explore the feasibility and replicability of iBRoad. The Report ” How can Member States implement iBRoad” aims to explore the barriers to and enablers of the design and implementation of iBRoad in order to enable the concept to be replicated across Europe, beyond […]
The iBRoad individual Building Renovation Roadmap and Logbook were field-tested in Bulgaria, Poland and Portugal from March to May 2019. In parallel, the iBRoad Logbook was also field-tested in Germany. During the field test, 15 – 20 buildings per pilot country were examined in cooperation with certified local energy auditors. […]
The iBRoad tools, consisting of the individual Building Renovation Roadmap and Logbook, were field-tested in Bulgaria, Poland and Portugal during the period March to May 2019. Additionally, the iBRoad Logbook was field-tested in Germany. Prior to field-testing, project partners from the pilot countries received an online train-the-trainer seminar. During the […]
This iBRoad output provides a default database supporting a generic techno-economic assessment of renovation measures. The default database consists of a list of possible renovation measures (building envelope and HVAC system) and their costs. This data can support the auditor in the cost assessment of renovation measures while developing a renovation roadmap. Access it here
The iBRoad project has made available an open-source programme for the techno-economic assessment of renovation measures and alternative renovation pathways of a building. The programme, written in the programming language Python, provides a simplified standardised energy demand model to assess useful, final and primary energy demand of residential houses. Access and guidance here
The iBRoad Renovation Roadmap and Logbook are subjected to field testing in the pilot countries, Bulgaria, Poland and Portugal. By testing their practicality and manageability, the participating energy auditors and building owners feed their experiences back into the tools for further adjustments. Fifteen to twenty buildings per pilot country are examined […]
Building renovation is often considered a burden usually associated with time-consuming planning, uncertainty about the costs and value of the planned measures, dust and unreliable professionals. The iBRoad project focuses on an evolution of existing energy audit products and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in order to become a real driver […]
The report considers the national adaptation of the iBRoad concept in Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal, Flanders and Germany, by analysing specific country characteristics like the existing availability and structure of EPCs, the energetic status of the building stock and common national renovation standards, the required content of the EPC and qualifications […]
