description: Summary: 

This document represents the REHOUSE report D3.1 “LEVEL(s)-based MEL framework for REHOUSE RPs and demos” developed within work page (WP) 3 (Measurement, evaluation and learning methodology, impact assessment and platforms specifications). It presents firstly LEVEL(s) [1] framework that defines methods on how to assess key performance indicators (KPIs) for the evaluation of environmental performance of both renovations and new buildings. To complement this framework, an inventory of technical and social KPIs defined in other frameworks are presented:



Regional/National/International regulations and standards;

Scientific articles/ technical studies;

Experience feedback from partners’ previous projects;

Social frameworks.


The frameworks identified cover the countries of REHOUSE demonstration sites (Italy, Greece, Hungary and France) as well as include international context. Although the inventory of frameworks included an important number of regulations, studies and protocols, only the most complete and interesting ones have been incorporated in this deliverable. 

Finally, a summary of KPIs from all these sources is established and classified in order to guide the further selection of the suitable KPIs for REHOUSE Renovation Packages and demonstration sites. To be in adequacy with the objectives of the REHOUSE project and the European LEVEL(s) framework the summary of KPIs is arranged by 3 criteria:1. Scale. The KPIs are given at the scale of renovation packages, buildings and at the scale of territory/city.2. Macro-objectives (MO) of the LEVEL(s) framework.3. Category. The KPIs are classified by domain related to construction projects.

The links between these classifications are illustrated in the report. The buildings’ KPI are mainly based on the KPIs from the LEVEL(s) framework augmented with the results of the MEL inventory by REHOUSE project partners which together with Renovation Packages’ KPIs create a basis for the definition of the REHOUSE project KPIs in the task 3.2. The results of the MEL inventory by project partners allow also to identify some additional KPIs which are not considered by the LEVEL(s) framework.

For the purposes of KPIs definition of the REHOUSE project in the Task 3.2 all the KPIs have been classified by the next categories:



Building envelope. Here are included indicators related to thermal parameters of building walls and roof.

Resource use. This category integrates indicators related to building energy and water consumption, as well as the amount of waste generated.

Comfort conditions. It integrates indicators related to thermal, acoustic and visual comfort as well as the IAQ.

Economics. It integrates indicators related to the cost dimension of construction process.

Social/user’s behaviour. This category includes indicators related to the evaluation of impact of building use on life of users and changes in users’ behaviour inside or outside the building/dwelling they live.

Environment and built environment. It integrates indicators related to greenhouse gas emissions of buildings in operational phase, as well as those associated to the outdoor environment of building or construction site.

Resources re-use. This category includes indicators related to recycling and reuse of materials, wastes and other goods.
