On 14th September 2023, BUILD UP hosted a webinar entitled “Unlocking operation rating schemes: the synergetic added value of SmartLivingEPC and CHRONICLE”, brought to you by SmartLivingEPC and CHRONICLE. The webinar explored the intricacies of operational rating schemes and the methodologies of both projects.

Following Sofia, we heard from Ulrike Nuscheler, Senior Project Adviser LIFE Energy + LIFE Climate, CINEA, who presented: H2020 to LIFE-CET - The Buildings Topic(s) in transition.

Then, we moved to the keynote speakers of the day: Andrei Vladimir Lițiu, Executive Director at EPB Center and Gusts Kossovics, Director Technical Communication at eu.bac. Andrei and Gusts discussed Measuring building performance as a steppingstone towards operational rating.

Gusts Kossovics: "A world where energy efficiency and sustainability in every building is achieved through the optimal application of home and building controls, automation systems and services."
