Simplified Monitoring Approach

Available Outcomes

• Simplified monitoring approach for energy parameters
  High-quality deep retrofits not only reduce energy consumption to sustainable levels but also make for even surface temperatures, heightened thermal comfort and appreciably improved indoor air quality. The approach thus describes a pre- and post-retrofit monitoring process for energy-relevant data as well as for indoor air quality, including mould and airborne fungal spores.

• Evaluation algorithms functional on dummy data sets
  The OutPHit project helps building owners and housing companies carry out faster, more cost-effective deep retrofits by addressing the "performance gap" that often leads to higher energy use, building damage, and poor indoor air quality. Through performance verification, a detailed energy balance model is used to compare actual energy consumption with expected values, ensuring that buildings perform as intended. The system includes an easy-to-use online platform that collects and analyses data, enabling real-time monitoring, early detection of irregularities, and continuous optimisation of energy efficiency.

• Instructions for adequate monitoring equipment for living quality assessment
  Deep retrofits offer the unique advantage of not only reducing energy consumption to sustainable levels and covering a large part of the residual demand with on-site RES but also implementing a holistic improvement of the indoor environment.  The large number of projects in a wide geographical area that are investigated as demonstration projects of the outPHit project offers the unique opportunity to apply a uniform sampling and evaluation method and derive comparable results. Here is a documentation of the methodology of sampling and evaluation. Because the measurement of air quality should be done simultaneously with the collection of energetic measurement data, this document refers to the simplified monitoring approach for energy parameters, whereas the measurement of the air quality is depicted in more detail.

• Outlines of Training Materials on Simplified Success Monitoring
  The OutPHit project is focused on improving building performance evaluation through a comprehensive approach to monitoring, data handling, and performance certification. This deliverable presents a set of training materials developed to equip professionals with the necessary knowledge and tools for success monitoring, ensuring the widespread adoption of advanced performance verification techniques. These resources, which include 12 detailed PowerPoint presentations, will be shared across Europe and beyond, driving the creation of more energy-efficient, sustainable, and comfortable buildings.
