Objectives:

To define a set of qualitative (prescriptive) and quantitative (measurable) performance criteria for healthy and energy efficient buildings in different European climatic conditions for direct input in CEN activities. - To provide a protocol for testing the qualitative and quantitative set of performance criteria. - To develop guidelines for improving a building that is not energy-efficient and unhealthy, into a healthy and energy-efficient building, from the north to the south of Europe, and from the east to west.

Description of work

A first set of performance criteria for healthy and energy-efficient buildings will be developed, based on available knowledge. This list will have two functions, (a) to provide a basis for sample selection in WP 4, and (b) so that the data collected in WP 3 and WP 4 can be used in a structured way to produce a final set of performance criteria. Additionally, based on the methodologies defined in WP 3 and 4, a final methodology for assessing the performance of buildings according to this set of criteria, will be defined. With the outcome of WP 3 and 4, furthermore, a set of health-energy integrated guidelines to improve unhealthy or low energy-efficient buildings, will be generated.

Deliverables
  • No. 4: First set of performance criteria for healthy and energy-efficient buildings
  • No. 51: Final set of performance criteria for healthy and energy-efficient buildings
  • No. 6: Final protocol for testing performance of a building
  • No. 7 Guidelines for improving the performance of a building
