Fourth webinar – EPB standards hourly vs monthly methods
(Updated: May 26, 2020)
The 4th webinar was organized on Tuesday 26th May 2020 (12h00-13h30) on "EPB standards, hourly versus monthly methods".
At this 4th webinar the main possibilities and limitations of the monthly versus the hourly calculation method were introduced and demonstrated..
In particular within Europe, more and more countries are working on the concrete implementation of the set of EPB standards for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings.
The EPB standards offer specific choices to tailor the methodology to the national or regional situation. This was the subject of the second webinar. One of the key decisions in this process is whether or not to implement a calculation method with hourly calculation intervals instead of monthly. The set of EPB standards facilitates both choices.
The intention of this webinar was to show the main possibilities and limitations of both approaches, as described in the EPB standards.
