OpenBEP4EU will build upon available and validated results of other EU projects.
Read about outcomes of past or on-going projects to be directly reused to bootstrap the delivery of OpenBEP4EU outcomes in terms of key exploitable outputs and how it will be used or adapted in our project.
OpenBEP4EU will build upon FORTESIE goals to design, demonstrate, validate, and replicate innovative renovation packages in the building industry with Smart Performance-Based guarantees and financing, aiming at Efficient, Sustainable and Inclusive Energy (ESIE) use to accelerate the Renovation Wave in Europe. We will exploit the innovative digital technologies for measurement and verification, and attractive financing (e.g., contractual frameworks for smart performance guarantees, financing mechanisms, engagement techniques, green euros, etc.), to raise the overall EPC value proposition. Data from pilots will also be available for the OpenBEP4EU purposes.
BENEFICE leverages novel IoT-enabled, low-cost, “plug-and-play” devices, energy disaggregation, and an innovative empowerment and rewards approach based on an alternative monetary currency, so as to change consumers’ energy consumption behaviour.
OpenBEP4EU will take advantage of the work performed within the frames of DATA CELLAR concerning data spaces as a federated, secured, transparent, trusted, and unified data ecosystem.
OpenBEP4EU will benefit from the work performed within the project SmartLivingEPC in relation to the development of its certification scheme at building and complex level. Data from the validation case in Cyprus will be available for the OpenBEP4EU purposes and evaluation.
OpenBEP4EU will build upon the work performed within the CHRONICLE project towards further developing, extending, and adjusting the Common Data Environment (CDE) as well as QUE’s work on building energy performance simulation to adjust them to the project’s scope and requirements. Data from the validation cases in Greece, Switzerland, and Denmark will be available for the OpenBEP4EU purposes and evaluation.
The NEBULA project will build on B4P and the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative to activate a network of B4P Innovation Clusters. OpenBEP4EU, in line with the NEB goals, will increase awareness of benefits from innovation and better access to co-financing, intensifying crosssectoral and interdisciplinary peer-learning from front runners, furthermore promote cluster activities and events with NEBULA to expand cross-border cooperation and networking with the network of B4P Innovation Clusters and the integration of future clusters.
The QualitiEE project aimed to increase investment in energy efficiency services in the building sector within the EU and improve trust in service providers. OpenBEP4EU will exploit the developed quality assessment guidelines which define technical, economic, communicational, among others to allow comprehensive evaluation of the quality of energy efficiency services. They form the basis for quality assurance schemes and represent a major step towards European standardisation.
Innovative aspects of the U-CERT Energy Performance Assessment and certification scheme will be evaluated for being part of the calculation methodologies of the project. Experience in experts training and communication, dissemination and liaising with sister projects will be leveraged.
The focus of Smarter EPC is to enhance the uptake of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) tools. The SmarterEPC platform serves as a centralised access point to a variety of tools for issuing EPCs and SRIs. OpenBEP4EU will build upon the establishment of common building inspection procedures and the training programs for auditors.
iEPB aims to enhance the energy efficiency of the EU’s building stock by aligning various Energy Performance Building (EPB) assessments, particularly EPCs, SRI, and energy renovation recommendations aligning with the upcoming EPBD recast provisions. OpenBEP4EU will build upon the common data model for EPB Assessments, which is adaptable for future integration of additional assessments and harmonising practices across EU MSs.
In ENERGATE an online marketplace is created for sustainable investments within the built sector. OpenBEP4EU will build upon the platform that is matching energy service companies, building owners, and financiers with the aim to accelerate the renovation process of sustainable projects.
