RENAISSANCE es un proyecto del programa CONCERTO co-financiado por la Comisión Europea dentro del Sexto Programa Marco RENAISSANCE - ZARAGOZA - SPAIN 4 Summary (27 th /04/2009) WP1 Research, Technological and Innovation Dev WP1.1 Ready for the final document (ZAR) on July/September 2009 WP1.2 Certification tools and analysis of current normative (coordination with the WP2 for the experimental verification of S and W points of these tools. Also to analyze the effect of changes just coming) WP1.4 Urbic is ready to complete the ESCo theoretical analysis. Afterward, we (Urbic and UoZ) will start the study to propose the creation of two ESCo as some interesting applications to real cases. WP1.5 Year 3 has been lost in what this is concerned due to ECODES withdrawal and the process substitution. This and the delay on experimental data from Digital Monitoring Network has forced UoZ to evaluate new strategies that increase the effectiveness to cover the original objectives in coordination with Lyon and the CONCERTO PLUS recommendations

RENAISSANCE es un proyecto del programa CONCERTO co-financiado por la Comisión Europea dentro del Sexto Programa Marco RENAISSANCE - ZARAGOZA - SPAIN 5 Summary (27 th /04/2009) WP1.2 Certification tools and analysis of current normative Software development for quick evaluation and optimization: Meteo (ecobuildings) and URSOS (urban sustainability) (ongoing). Climate data performed for the first real TRY in Aragón (finished). Buildings evaluation with different tools: dynamic calculations with TSBI3 -Bsym-, Energy Plus, Lyder and Calener, compared with static calculations made with Meteo and URSUS (ongoing). Buildings analysis (in Valdespartera and out) to verify if certification procedures are working or need some modifications (ongoing). 12 months program: Software evaluation and comparison including certification tools and optimization tools ( ß version) Conclusions about ecobuildings evaluation WP1

6. RENAISSANCE es un proyecto del programa CONCERTO co-financiado por la Comisión Europea dentro del Sexto Programa Marco RENAISSANCE - ZARAGOZA - SPAIN 6 Summary (27 th /04/2009) WP1.2 Completed calculations of thermal and electrical demands of Zaragoza. Raising various scenarios of uncertainty: Energy demand more or less than expected (depending on level of bioclimatic design), in order to analyze the feasibility of energy services in adverse scenarios (WP1.4). WP1.3 Started work on the availability of biomass in the surroundings of Zaragoza, there aren´t significant results at the moment (close to end). WP1.4 Once completed the technical-economic analysis of different options and analyzed the dependency with adverse scenarios Urbic and UoZ will start the study of several real cases that could be the application of the theoretical studies performed in precedent years what means an extra value with this new objectives. WP1 (Urbic)

Works in collabo- ration with EVZ and Endesa. Most of work to be done WP2.2 Valdespartera buildings evaluation (mostly done). Coordination with WP1.2. It will be almost completed next 12 months. WP2.3 Data validation to be done next months. Monitoring will be prepared also for Picarral and specific buildings. Coordination with Lyon and CONCERTO PLUS.

RENAISSANCE es un proyecto del programa CONCERTO co-financiado por la Comisión Europea dentro del Sexto Programa Marco RENAISSANCE - ZARAGOZA - SPAIN 10 Summary (27 th /2008) WP2.2 Building simulation and performance WP2 Information relative to the constructive elements of the dwelling blocks of each parcel has been provided by architects and / or the builders of the plots to start the simulation and certification process. As a first step it is checked that the data are consistent with those stipulated in the partial plan. If the constructive elements are changed these new materials must fulfil to the superior features of the partial plan. As the second step energy building simulation is made for each building with TSBi3 and EnergyPlus. We provide recommendations to new buildings in order to optimize results when actions are possible. Certification of buildings using the criteria of the certification program officer LIDER/CALENER

11. RENAISSANCE es un proyecto del programa CONCERTO co-financiado por la Comisión Europea dentro del Sexto Programa Marco RENAISSANCE - ZARAGOZA - SPAIN 11 Blower Laboratory Tests Lab tests have been done previous to a series of measures performed in Picarral and others to be done in Valdespartera. So that we will verify the impact of new normative for the quality or indoor air. Also a lab cell has been implemen- ted to check the thermal transmi- ttance of materials, windows and constructive elements when this information is not available.
