PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
BREEZE aims to support Member States in advancing their building renovation strategies by enhancing national databases for building energy performance. The project will gather and harmonize building stock data from Poland, Italy, and France, while developing open software tools for cost-optimal renovation calculations and building renovation scenario planning. A key focus is identifying representative reference buildings and applying cost-optimal renovation methods, with results extrapolated to other Member States. The project addresses the EPBD Recast, ensuring renovations not only improve energy efficiency but also comply with Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) standards. Case studies will integrate Solar Mandates by assessing the potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment in renovations. BREEZE’s standardized methodologies will guide Member States in meeting EPBD objectives, fostering a coherent approach to energy performance certification, smart readiness, and IEQ metrics. Capacity-building and technical assistance activities will further ensure the successful implementation of these strategies across the EU.
