NewTREND seeks to improve the energy efficiency of the existing building stock and to the current renovation rate. In the frames of the project, we developed a participatory Integrated Design Methodology and accompanying digital tools. The workshop introduced the results of the project and provided opportunity to test tools targeted to the energy retrofit of buildings and neighbourhoods, establishing energy performance as a key component of refurbishments:
- The Collaborative Design Platform ensures the correct implementation of the NewTREND methodology through a project management infrastructure customised to the stakeholders, including visualisation and participation options. The built-in simulation tools evaluate the retrofitting needs, guide the decision makers to select the best energy retrofitting strategy, through Dynamic Simulation Modelling, KPIs and optimisation tools.
- The Data Manager enables a structured, standardized crowdsourced data collection approach through a web-based tool accessible from tablets and smartphones, supporting design teams in on-site inspections and direct data entry in the DIM.
Partisipants were professionals in architecture, building refurbishment, building energetics and municipalities (professionals in urban development).
