The discussion session was active with relevant experts
Discussions revolved around moving beyond simple metrics to more accurately evaluate a building's actual energy performance. Participants also addressed common real-world challenges, such as the difficulty of collecting reliable energy data.
A key takeaway was the collective agreement on shifting focus from design-based predictions to measuring actual, operational energy savings after a project is completed. The event underscored that successful green remodeling depends on the synergy of sound policy, reliable data, and expert collaboration.
Furthermore, the need for incorporating new technologies into standard guidelines for green remodeling was emphasized. Among these, the concept of exergy was introduced — and it was noteworthy, as it is unusual for the government to draw attention to such a concept.
