Collecting Data from Energy Certification to Monitor Performance Indicators for New and Existing buildings

This project has been driven by the need for concrete data on potential energy savings and CO2 reductions in the European building stock. Data will in turn help develop tailored, cost-efficient complementary measures to energy performance legislation, such as soft loans and tax incentives. DATAMINE aims to construct a knowledge base using the information on the energy performance certificates issued when buildings are constructed, sold or rented. The test data comes from buildings in 12 different countries and full allowance is made for the Europe-wide differences in certification schemes, since each country has a scheme tailored to its specific needs, building stock and climate.
