If you are an ESCO dealing with high risk in energy saving guarantees — this project developed a Building Performance and Guarantees (BPG) module that provides data-driven trust to reduce costs and make projects easier to replicate.
One-Stop-Shop Digital Platform for Energy Efficiency Building Renovations and Performance Contracts
Imagine a digital hub that acts like a matchmaker for home energy upgrades. It connects homeowners who want lower bills with the experts and funding needed to make it happen. Instead of guessing if a renovation works, it uses real data to guarantee the energy savings actually happen.
What needed solving
Homeowners often lack the trust and financial clarity to invest in energy renovations, while ESCOs struggle with the high cost and risk of guaranteeing energy savings.
What was built
A one-stop-shop digital platform featuring three modules: Building Performance and Guarantees (BPG), Efficiency, Comfort and Environment (ECE), and Building Information Technology (BIT).
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a contractor dealing with fragmented project coordination — this project developed a one-stop-shop platform that integrates building information modelling and technology management to make the renovation process cost-efficient.
If you are a public institution dealing with inefficient residential housing stock — this project developed tools to identify energy efficiency improvements and validate financing schemes like grants and loans.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for the platform?
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost details for the platform are not provided; however, it aims to make the renovation process more cost-efficient.
Can this be scaled to an industrial level?
The project is designed for city and region-wide impact, focusing on residential housing stock and the ability for companies to easily replicate the work developed.
What are the IP and licensing terms for the modules?
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project develops three specific modules: BPG, ECE, and BIT.
How does the platform integrate with existing building data?
The platform integrates Building Information Modelling (BIM) and device monitoring to collect data on energy savings and comfort levels.
What is the timeline for deployment?
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2026-06-30, indicating it is currently in the development and validation phase.
Who built it
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 11 partners across 7 countries. With a 27% industry ratio (3 industrial partners) and 4 research entities, the project blends academic rigor with practical market application, specifically targeting the needs of SMEs and ESCOs.
