Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the impact of renovation works on thermal comfort and energy performance in a pilot building.
  • Designed and installed a monitoring system for indoor parameters like air temperature and humidity.
  • Measured water temperatures and electricity consumption of thermal systems.
  • Assessed energy production from photovoltaic systems.
  • Evaluated the U-value of walls post-installation of e-CLT panels.
  • Distributed questionnaires to residents regarding renovation satisfaction.
  • Monitoring indicated improved thermal comfort levels post-renovation.
  • Energy performance metrics showed reduced electricity consumption in new thermal systems.
  • Positive resident feedback recorded regarding renovation duration and disruption experienced.

Abstract

This document reports on the monitoring activities performed during and after the renovation works in the pilot building located in Via Acquicella Porto 27/H, Catania.The monitoring activities were intended to verify the thermal comfort in the apartments after the building renovation with the e-SAFE solutions, the energy performance of the new thermal systems, and the consequent energy savings. To this aim, a specific monitoring system was designed and installed to measure the indoor environmental parameters (air temperature, relative humidity) and the main relevant parameters for the thermal system (water temperatures, electricity consumption, electricity production from PV). Other measurements allowed to verify the U-value of the walls after the installation of the e-CLT panels. Finally, questionnaires were handed out to the residents to verify their degree of satisfaction with the duration of the renovation works, and the disruption they suffered because of it.
