description: Summary:

This REHOUSE public report presents the work and actions carried out as part of Task 3.4 "Monitoring programs/plans” of REHOUSE work package (WP) 3 “Measurement, evaluation and learning methodology, impact assessment and platforms specifications”. The aim of this task is to set up programs/plans for monitoring the construction (retrofitting) phase and the operation phases of the 4 demo sites of REHOUSE Project. It considers the overall impact throughout its entire lifespan, encompassing not just the design, construction/refurbishment, and operational stages, but also extending to demolition and waste treatment.

As a result of this task, 4 programs/plans have been developed for the project's demo sites:- Construction monitoring program;- Building operation monitoring program;- Life Cycle Analysis plan;- Life Cycle Cost plan.

These 4 programs are defined in this report to evaluate and monitor the Key Performance indicators (KPIs) selected and defined in “D3.2 REHOUSE set of indicators selected for the impact assessment”.

The Construction monitoring program is built based on construction management techniques used to control the quality, the time and the cost of construction (renovation) works during the construction projects. The aim of this program in REHOUSE is to establish a basis for renovation works at each demo site which will be used as reference and followed by all REHOUSE partners during renovation works implemented in the Task 4.4 of the WP4. This program provides roles and responsibilities of REHOUSE partners involved into renovation works and identifies risks and their mitigation measures for each demo site.

The Building Operation monitoring program is built based on two main items:- A monitoring procedure during building operation before and after renovation works providing a very detailed process made of several steps and requirements.- The IPMVP (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol) protocol as the framework for the Building Operation monitoring programme content, ensuring both quality of the assessment to be done and homogeneity among each pilot site.

The Building Operation monitoring program is shared among all the partners as the reference document containing the information about parameters to be measured and associated measurement devices to evaluate the KPIs defined in the Deliverable 3.2, data acquisition systems, monitoring periods and ways on how to analyse the monitoring data collected with adjustments and quality insurance processes. The roles and responsibilities of partners involved into building operation and monitoring activities are also clearly defined in this program.

The LCA and LCC plans are built on the basis of good practices widely adopted for life cycle evaluations and international norms as the norm ISO 14040 for the LCA and the norm ISO 15686-5 describing the LCC process. These plans are a series of organized steps or measures to proceed to LCA and LCC evaluations at scales of renovation packages and of demo site buildings in a common way for all REHOUSE demo sites. These plans are described through goal and scope definition, functional unit and system boundary.The scopes of each of these programs and some links with other REHOUSE tasks are illustrated in this report (D3.4).

REHOUSE timeline is composed of 3 periods:- The baseline period which is the period of time chosen to represent the operation of the facility or system before the implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (before renovation with RPs in the REHOUSE project).- The renovation period (or installation period) which corresponds to the period of renovation works. During this period different data relative to construction aspects (the renovation time, installation costs, disturbance, etc) will be collected as defined in the construction monitoring plan.- The reporting period (or monitoring period) which is the period of time chosen for the purposes of verifying savings, the good performance of the systems and the improvement of the IEQ after implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (RPs in REHOUSE). In the REHOUSE case it is the period of time after the end of renovation works. The reporting period should last for at least 12 months in order to include a complete operation cycle of renovation solutions covering all the different weather conditions.
