ECOSYNERGY: Leading the future of dynamic Energy Performance Certification

The ECOSYNERGY experiment, led by ARCBcn – Wattega has been selected as one of the winners in the first SUSTAIN Eurocluster Open Call. The experiment tackles one of the most pressing issues in the industry: the static nature of current Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). By integrating the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) into a dynamic framework, the project aims to redefine how building performance is assessed and optimized.

This experiment provides real-time insights into energy consumption, enabling buildings to adapt dynamically to operational needs and external conditions. The inclusion of advanced smart technologies, such as automated controls for heating, cooling, and lighting systems, will further enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve occupant comfort.

In this way, the primary goal of the project is to bridge the gap between traditional EPCs and the evolving demands of smart, sustainable buildings. To achieve these goals, ARCBcn – Wattega have created a proprietary methodology that quantifies the impact of smart technologies on energy efficiency, ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks while delivering added value.

The ARCBcn-Wattega project highlights the potential of integrating digital solutions into the construction sector. By combining SRI data with EPC frameworks, the experiment sets a new standard for energy performance assessment. The dynamic model not only helps building owners and managers make informed decisions but also aligns with broader sustainability objectives, such as reducing carbon footprints and achieving energy independence.

In conclusion, ECOSYNERGY is expected to influence industry practices significantly, encouraging widespread adoption of smart technologies and dynamic performance evaluation tools. The project also serves as a benchmark for future initiatives aimed at creating more energy-efficient and sustainable buildings across Europe.
