The StepUP concept
Make renovation more attractive and reliable
At the core of the StepUP project resides an incremental, iterative renovation methodology that aims to cover every phase of the renovation process to make each step more effective.
An iterative, holistic methodology
01
Evaluate the building status
Establish the baseline by collecting data on energy performance, comfort, IEQ
02
Define needs and priorities
Understand the main drivers for renovation from building owners and occupants feedback
03
Set up the renovation process
identify appropriate design patterns and intervention scenarios and involve the key stakeholders
04
Assess renovation scenarios
Evaluate the impact of various options against needs and priorities
05
Identify key Energy Conservation Measures
Choose a set of high value interventions for the current iteration
06
Choose Plug&Play technologies
Identify which interoperable solutions satisfy the requirements of each ECM for the iteration
07
Deploy interventions
Carry out installations and other onsite work to deploy the Energy Conservation Measures
08
Optimise building operation
Monitor and adjust the ECMs and the overall building performance through feedback loops
