DESCRIPTION

By 2020, ALDREN procedure will be formalized in a certification scheme with an holistic approach to the energy rating of non-residential buildings, using the European Voluntary Certification Scheme as a backbone for its implementation. For an effective roll-out of this certification among building professionals, ALDREN assessors will need sound training material and programs. In this view, ALDREN is organizing a first experts training/workshop to present ALDREN approach and to collect feedback from relevant national and European stakeholders about the relevance, focus and exploitation potential of the future ALDREN professional trainings.

The event is organized in the context of the REHVA Brussels Summit, but registration to ALDREN training is free and open to public (up to the maximum capacity of the meeting room). If you want to share your experiences and expectations on professional trainings for buildings energy performance assessments, please register to the ALDREN training session through REHVA website.

Multi-stakeholder consultation workshop on the practical feasibility of developing a so-called “Building Passport”

Friday 29^th of June at RICS Headquarters in London from 1.30-5pm

Organized by: Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC)

Aldren building passport will be discussed at the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction next consultation workshop

Scope and aims of the H2020 project Aldren! will be presented at the multi-stakeholder consultation workshop on Building Measurement, Data and Information organized by the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC). The event will be held in London and will be focused on the practical feasibility of developing a so-called “Building Passport”. GABC – Work Area 5 members have decided to explore the feasibility of developing and operationalising a Building Passport as part of its 2018 work programme. To ensure that the tool is fit-for-purpose, they wish to gather feedback from core value chain stakeholders, among which Valencia Institute of Buildings (Spain) has been invited to discuss the topic and give an overview of Aldren, specifically on the building passport that Aldren is willing to deliver to promote a step by step renovation.

About Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC): The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC) is an initiative launched at COP21, as part of the Lima Paris Action Agenda. It aims to mobilise all stakeholders, including member states and non-state actors from the Buildings and Construction sector to scale up climate actions in the sector. The GABC focuses on the achievement of the low-carbon and energy transition through fostering the development of appropriate policies for sustainable, energy efficient buildings, which allows a concrete value-chain transformation of the sector.

The GABC comprises 5 work areas: public policy, awareness and education, market transformation, finance and building measurement, data and information. The work area on building measurement, data and information is co-chaired by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the government of Ukraine, the Climate-KIC and RICS. Work area members include one GABC signatory country, one UN agency (UN Environment Finance Initiative) and representatives from relevant stakeholder groupings.

How a common language will foster non-residential building renovation – ALDREN project

Webinar in cooperation with the H2020 ENERFUND project

Date: Wednesday 13 June

Time: 10:30-12:00 (CET)

Tool: WebEx webinar

Organizer: REHVA / Contact person: Tiziana Buso tb@rehva.eu

DESCRIPTION

Non-residential building renovation is a complex topic involving different actors such as asset managers, building professionals, manufacturers, public administrations and, of course, building occupiers. Speaking a common language, understandable by all of these actors, is a fundamental step towards the effective and large-scale deployment of renovation plans. This is indeed the aim of the ALDREN project.

This webinar will provide you with an overview of a European Voluntary Certification Scheme (EVCS), conceived as a tool for a harmonised energy rating of the non-residential building stock. The EVCS is the backbone of the ALDREN project, that will further develop the Scheme by including:

• energy performance verification by measurements
• Indoor Environmental Quality criteria

The webinar will suggest ALDREN’s strategy to tackle these challenges and turn them into meaningful indicators. An additional goal of ALDREN is to include these concepts in a Building Renovation Passport for non-residential buildings. In this webinar, ALDREN experts will illustrate how this proposal can fit into the new EU policy framework and how it can relate with ongoing initiatives and existing database. Among these sister initiatives, the webinar will bring up the ENERFUND experience, that shines a light on deep renovation opportunities through map visualizations.
