1. The REPUBLIC-MED project Dr. G.M. Stavrakakis

2. Motivation Design for compliance – National BES tools Disregarding energy behaviour The ground floor and the first floor is stone (rubble) wall, while the second floor is a brick wall. The ground floor and the first floor include some coated surfaces surrounding the openings. The openings frames are synthetic double glazing with spacing 12mm, while the ratio of frame/glazing is 20%/80%. Prediction inaccuracies, especially during summer for cooling purposes.

3. Motivation Urban Sprawl => Urban Heat Island

4. Project overall concept Design for reliable predictions Design for compliance Methods that respond to new requirements for directives implementation Buildings -Indoor-outdoor interactions -Energy behaviour -Retrofit technologies Buildings -Indoor-outdoor interactions -Energy behaviour -Retrofit technologies Open spaces -UHI assessment -New insights on urban environmental planning Open spaces -UHI assessment -New insights on urban environmental planning Optimization Pilot applications Enrich design for compliance -Accounting for external microclimate effects -Accounting for behaviour -Optimization=> Possibilities in cost- optimal minimum requirements -Train the stakeholders Enrich design for compliance -Accounting for external microclimate effects -Accounting for behaviour -Optimization=> Possibilities in cost- optimal minimum requirements -Train the stakeholders Plans to introduce approach to policy makers Training seminars Plans to introduce approach to policy makers Training seminars

5. Consortium and implementation phases

6. Result 1: National energy & environmental performance study methods

7. Result 2: Public-buildings typologies in Piraeus and strategic selection of pilot buildings

8. Result 3: Open-spaces typologies in Piraeus and strategic selection of pilot sites

9. Result 4: REPUBLIC-MED decision-making methodology Parametric analysis using technologies’ inventories Decision-making (multi- criteria) Audits and participatory processes

10. Result 5: Questionnaire forms and implementation instructions

11.  Kallergi building  Karpathou square Ongoing results: Pilot applications 5-year Climate-data time-series ENVI-met 5-year Climate- data time-series ENVI-met

12.  Evaluation of accuracy: Comparison with traditional methods and with actual data (energy bills and measurements)  Evaluation of applicability: Required resources, computational time, and answer the question “Does it worth the work burden?”: Comparison of cost-indicators produced by the REPUBLIC-MED and the traditional approaches.  Evaluation of acceptability by stakeholders: Share the aspects of REPUBLIC-MED approach with cycles of potential users and ask them to evaluate/recommend, e.g. stakeholder consultation. Ongoing evaluation activities

13. Expected outcomes  Improved diagnostics of vulnerabilities (e.g. hot-spots analysis) and design of mitigation and retrofit strategies and plans  Contribute to local/regional authorities urban-planning activities  Recommendations on calculation approaches  Reliable compliance with directives, e.g. 2010/31/EC  Contribution to green and smart public procurements through the introduction of novel Key Performance Indicators and Methods
