The main objective during the first and second period of the project was to complete and validate the design of BRESAER system for its demonstration in a real case building during the 3rd Period. The main aim was to achieve: an optimize and validated design of the system’s active and passive components; the related tools and guides for adding the design, installation and commissioning process; a fine-tune exploitation, dissemination and standardization strategies towards its future inclusion in the market. On the other hand, the main objectives during the 3rd Period, were to complete the development of BRESAER envelope system, the manufacture of components and their implementation in the real demo Building, as well as assessing, disseminating and exploiting the project’s results to proof its reliability towards its market acceptance.
The main impacts of the implementation of the BRESAER system, which were evaluated throughout the project and which will continue to be assessed after the end of the project, are as follows: Energy demand reduction for space heating and cooling 30,7%, Contribution of renewable energy, conditioning of 37,3% after the retrofitting, Contribution of renewable energy (solar PV) for electricity of 12,8% after the retrofitting, The combination gives a total primary energy consumption reduction of 76,4%, Improved indoor environment quality by improving thermal, acoustics, illumination comfort and IAQ, Provide solutions with an appealing pay-back time for investors, Validation and market uptake of active building elements
Some of the main results of the 3rd period were
• Both the economic and environmental sustainability of the system were assessed through LCA and LCC studies
• The software tools to support future users when designing and implementing BRESAER system were optimized and are available at BRESAER’s website
• It was completed the CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) entitled “Guideline to design, implement and economically assess an innovative and adaptable envelope system in building refurbishment”
• An interactive video was produced displaying all BRESAER technologies, (BRESAER website)
To sum up, all the targets have been achieved, which has allowed the successful achievement of the objectives of the BRESAER Project
