Along with other five H2020 funded projects (Launch, QualitEE, SENSEI, Triple-A, NOVICE):
- QUEST tackled the building renovation wave from the business and financing perspective, showcasing innovative tools and business models that are being developed by the session's organizers. QUEST was presented by the project coordinator Stefan Plesser (synavision GmbH), that introduced quality management as a tool to de-risk real estate investments.
- U-CERT project's coordinator, Simona D'Oca, illustrated how national Energy Performance Certificates could become a trustworthy multidimensional tool (e.g. political, financial and technical) for de-risking investments to kick-start EU’s building renovation wave. This is already feasible today by meaningfully integrating the Smart Readiness Indicator for Buildings and the set of CEN ISO Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) standards.
Interaction was maximised having the listening part digitalised and made available prior to the actual session:
