2 objectives of QUALICHeCK project(2014‐2017)
• To set up a series of actions which should result in more attention and practical initiatives for actual compliance with the claimed energy performance for new and renovated buildingsi.e. ‘Boundary conditions which force people to do what they declare’;
• To set up a series of actions, which should result in more attention and practical initiatives for achieving a better quality of the works, i.e. ‘Boundary conditions which stimulate and allow the building sector to deliver good quality of the works’.
QUALICHeCK: 4 focus areas and 9 focus countries
Transmission characteristics
Ventilation and airtightness
Sustainable summer comfort techniques
Renewables in multi‐energy systems

BIM developments in Europe
The future market uptake of BIM isdifficult to predict with great accuracy
but it clearly is a development with great potential
BIM opportunities and challenges• PHASE 1 – “Use of BIM in present EPBD methods” ‐ Short term (1…3 years) ?
• Better facilitate the use of BIM for present EPC calculations• Required efforts:
• In principle limited efforts for member states, except allowing interaction with EPC tools• Challenges more at BIM side:
• Associate relevant data to BIM objects• Translate BIM data into EPBD relevant data (dimensions, input data, …)
• PHASE 2 – “Optimal BIM driven EPBD assessment” ‐ Longer term (5…10 years) ?• How to optimise EPBD calculation procedures (in terms of efforts and quality of output) by taking BIM as a starting point?
• Similar challenges for circular economy, material use, …
• Required efforts:• EPBD administrations to rethink the calculation methods• Standardisation bodies• Industry and designers
• A lot of benefits: compliance – handling of innovation – more chances for European method ‐ …

INPUT DATA forEPC calculations

BIM opportunities and challengesMore refined modellingdue to easy access toreliable BIM data
PHASES 1 and 2: What can BIM mean for EPC input data?
With BIM (most) input data for EPC calculations are part of the BIM model

PHASE 2: What can BIM mean for EPC calculations?
What can be the impact on the calculation procedures themselves?
• An interesting example are thermal bridges: with a detailed description of the building envelope through BIM, it is possible to have a 3‐dimensional transmission analysis of the building shell with nearly no human efforts.
PHASE 2: What can BIM mean for EPC calculations?
• Another example: Assessment of overheating risks.
• At present, most countries use simplified procedures which only give a rough indication of the risk of overheating and/or the energy consumption for cooling
• With a detailed BIM model, much more refined assessmentmethods can be used without requiring specific efforts for collecting input data.

PHASES 1 and 2: BIM and standardisation
• In order to accelerate the market uptake of BIM, standardisation of protocols is important. CEN TC 442 and ISO TC 59 are dealing with BIM.
• If BIM models will be used for EPC calculations, there might be also new tasks for standardisation in relation to EPBD related standards.
See presentation by Dick van Dijk
PHASE 2: BIM and convergence of national EPC calculation procedures
• At present, there are still major differences in the national EPC calculation methods.
• With BIM, there is in phase 2 the possibility to come to more accurate energy performance modelling and therefore the possibility of nearly no differences in views between member states.

PHASES 1 and in particular 2: BIM and EPC compliance
• With BIM, EPC relevant compliant data can be integrated into the BIM objects (brick, thermal insulation, fan, heat pump, …)
• An integrated BIM model will be regularly updated and at the end of the process reflect the as‐built situation. It could mean that there is no need for specific EPC compliance checks.
