CHRONICLE will deliver a holistic, life-cycle performance assessment framework and tool-suite for different building variants, supporting sustainable design, construction and/or efficient renovation and investment decision making. It will be methodologically integrate ongoing initiatives, like EPCs, Level(s), SRI, under the umbrella of the Digital Building Logbook concept. Performance will be assessed by means of well-defined KPIs, based on both static (by design) as well as dynamic information (sensor measurements) appropriately tailored to different types of use and building life-cycle phases (new or existing buildings under refurbishment). Continuous monitoring and analysis of the actual building performance over its lifetime, will be based on a powerful digital twin framework. The proposed data availability and accessibility within CHRONICLE will extend the limits of the EU energy related policies while the aggregated EPC advanced information will facilitate efficient energy planning. To this end, CHRONICLE will allow all stakeholders to realize in quantified terms the short- and long-term impact of the project activities, from policy to practice, and across the whole building life cycle. It will therefore promote evidence-based impact assessment practices to support policy coherence, design of smart penalties and reward schemes towards motivating energy consciousness, while also paying attention to the voice of market stakeholders (AECs, ESCOs, FMs) but also building owners and tenants/occupants, who are directly impacted by future regulatory decisions. CHRONICLE’s building performance assessment framework and tool-set will be demonstrated and validated in five pilot sites spanning the geographic diversity of Europe, namely in Spain, Ireland, Denmark, Greece and Switzerland.

The Auto-DAN project aims to enable homes and small businesses across the EU to optimize their energy consumption and provide an assessment of the live energy performance of a building which takes into account the quality of appliances/systems installed, user operational habits and the smart readiness of a building.The solution is rooted in augmented intelligence which will focus on the assistive role automation will have in buildings, emphasizing the fact that cognitive technology is designed to enhance human intelligence rather than replace it and that the occupant is a proactive component of the building. Augmented Intelligence enhances a self-optimisation solution as it is a mix of automated controls with user interaction which will maximise the savings of a building in operation. To enable this step-change, the Auto-DAN project will deliver a trebled-structured project framework that evaluates the actual energy performance of EU buildings and provide building users with the awareness to proactively optimize their energy use. The following, lists the subdivisions of the solution: • Smart Hardware Infrastructure - Adaptable hardware strategy that can be applied to all building types and features to ensure maximum replicabilbilty of the Auto-DAN solution across the EU building stock. • Inter-operable Software Architecture - The data analysis platform iSCAN will be used as a foundation for self-optimizing and self-assessing EU buildings stock complemented by 2 analytical features that provides optimisation actions. Those features are a 1. Digital Occupancy Model and a 2. Digital Twin. • Self-Energy Assessment Framework - Generates an automated, dynamic and continuous energy performance assessmentd erived from the monitoring of the energy consumption at building level, dis-aggregated monitoring at an appliance/system level and incorporates existing EU energy regulations (e.g. EPBD, ECO Design, SRI, and Energy Labeling).
