Multi-Criteria Building Performance Assessment

One of the sustainability goals in Europe is to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption in buildings by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Renovation targets include a 16% reduction in primary energy use by 2030 in residential buildings and renovating 16% of least efficient buildings in the non-residential sector. Performance indicators in smart buildings are crucial for evaluating system performance objectively, aiding decision-making, and ensuring accountability. They provide insights into energy consumption, indoor air quality, and resource usage, facilitating cost reduction and enhancing user experience. These indicators also support compliance with regulations, certification standards, and sustainability goals. This work, under the umbrella of the DigiBUILD project, applies multi-dimension key performance indicators across ten European pilots to make better-informed decisions, improve data quality, and support policy-making for sustainable building infrastructure.
