Description
The goal of the EPISCOPE project was to make energy renovation in the European housing sector more transparent and effective. The project implemented pilot actions on different scales and aligned and compared them in a qualitative way. The conceptual framework was based on national residential building typologies developed during the IEE project TABULA. These classification schemes for national building stocks were extended to a 6 further countries. An upgrade of the TABULA WebTool reflected examples for refurbishment measures as well as national requirements for new buildings and interpretations for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB). The main project activity was to track the energy saving progress of certain housing stock entireties on local, regional or national level. The implementation rate of different refurbishment measures was determined and compared with those activities which were necessary to attain the relevant climate protection targets.
