1. Key performance indicators (KPIs) and objectives of retrofit projects MED/EU Synergies Conference REPUBLIC-MED 2 nd Open Day Dr. G.M. Stavrakakis

2. School building Buildings: Target groups -Teachers’ productivity -Students’ performance -Comfort and Air quality -Efficient and affordable energy retrofit and management -Students’ performance -Comfort and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) -Comfort and IAQ

3. Office building Buildings: Target groups -Workers’ productivity -High quality services -Comfort and Air quality -Efficient and affordable energy retrofit and management -Energy-related cost savings -Comfort and IAQ -High-quality service

4. Buildings: Key Performance Indicators …AND comfort and IAQ indicators

5. Buildings: Desired levels of KPIs for major retrofits

6. Greek case: Law 4122/2013 (Greek “typical” harmonization with 2010/31/EC) Target value of Energy class: “B” …As long as it is techno-economically feasible. Based on TOTEE 2010 national directive REPUBLIC-MED: Definition of “B” class based on the national calculation tool KENAK

7. Buildings: Desired levels of KPIs towards NZEB Greek case: Law 4122/2013 (Greek “typical” harmonization with 2010/31/EC) Barriers  No definition of NZEB levels  244/2012 to estimate cost-optimal minimum requirements not yet applied NZEB: Highly energy-efficient building. The nearly zero or very low energy demand should be covered in a high amount by Renewable Energy Sources (RES), produced on-site or nearby. REPUBLIC-MED: Definition of NZEB based on previous experience (literature review in progress)

8. Open spaces: Target groups “Reduce my house cooling loads” “It’s too hot in summer” “It’s very cold here in winters” “I need fresh air”

9. Open spaces: Urban Heat Island “The Urban Heat Island is the most obvious climatic manifestation of urbanization” Landsberg, 1981 Causes:  Trapping of short and long-wave radiation in areas between buildings  Decreased long-wave radiative heat loss due to reduced sky-view factors  Increased storage of sensible heat in the construction materials  Anthropogenic heat released from fuel combustion  Reduced potential for evapotranspiration  Reduced convective heat removal due to the reduction of wind speed Urban Heat Island Effect

10.  Ts: Spatially mean value of air temperature in noon of a representative summer day (normally the hottest day) of the year at 1.80 m from the ground.  UHI Intensity: Difference between Ts and temperature of nearby rural environment in the same summer hour.  TCIs: Spatially mean value of a thermal Comfort Index, e.g. PMV, PET, UTCI, in the same summer hour, at 1.80m from the ground.  Tw: Spatially mean value of air temperature in a typical winter day of the year at 1.80m from the ground.  TCIw: Spatially mean value of the thermal comfort index, in the same winter hour, at 1.80m from the ground.  WS: Spatial mean value of wind speed at both winter and summer at 1.80m from the ground. Open spaces: Key performance indicators
