Energy retrofit of existing buildings is one of the main keys to achieve European Union’s decarbonising objectives defined in the European Green Deal. In order to proceed into them, European policy has been adapted and several research projects are developed. The aim of this paper is to analyse the assessment methodology of the research projects, setting up the overview of the assessed fields and the criteria followed to perform and evaluate each project. As working methodology, 18 projects have been studied, firstly characterising by the main parameters and afterwards analysing the assessment followed by each one. This analysis is decomposed into five parameters: the assessment scope, reflecting the fields covered by the project’s assessment; data source, the nature of the data; verification, use of data verification strategies; and implementation of life cycle thinking in the assessment methodology. The research shows that although the projects have their bases in the EU energetic targets they also cover a wider scope, assessing many fields and combining many sources of data. However, despite the large knowledge already defined by many projects, there is a lack of global and complete roadmap to be followed.

La rehabilitación energética de los edificios es una de las principales claves para alcanzar los objetivos de descarbonización de la Unión Europea definidos en la European Green Deal. Para proceder a ellos, una de las herramientas es la Directiva relativa a la eficiencia energética de edificios (Directiva UE 2018/844), la “Energy Performance of Buildings Directive” (EPBD), incluyendo el marco de evaluación basado en Indicadores de Progreso Mensurables (IPM) agrupados en dominios mediante la Recomendación (UE) 2019/786 de la comisión de 8 de mayo de 2019 relativa a la renovación de edificios. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la viabilidad de los Indicadores de Progreso Mensurables (IPM) propuestos por la Unión Europea en el ámbito del estado español, estableciendo una visión crítica de la aplicabilidad del marco de evaluación propuesto. En conclusión, la viabilidad de los Indicadores de Progreso Mensurables (IPM) propuestos por la Unión Europea en el estado español presentan varias barreras como puede ser la fragmentación de los datos, la medicación insuficiente y el acceso limitado a ellos. Por otra parte, también se muestran oportunidades para poder mejorar la evaluación de la rehabilitación de los edificios mediante el desarrollo de nuevas herramientas y recursos para la recopilación de datos, entre otros, la monitorización de edificios, “machine-learning” y el pasaporte de renovación del edificio.AbstractThe energy renovation of buildings is one of the main keys to achieve the decarbonisation objectives of the European Union as defined in the European Green Deal. To proceed with them; one of the tools is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU Directive 2018/844); the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD); including the assessment framework based on Measurable Progress Indicators (MPIs) grouped into domains by Commission Recommendation (EU) 2019/786 of 8 May 2019 on building renovation. The aim of this paper is to analyse the feasibility of the Measurable Progress Indicators (MPIs) proposed by the European Union in the Spanish state, establishing a critical view of the applicability of the proposed assessment framework. In conclusion, the feasibility of the Measurable Indicators of Progress (MPIs) proposed by the European Union in the Spanish state presents several barriers such as data fragmentation: insufficient medication and limited access to data. On the other hand, there are also opportunities to improve the assessment of building renovation through the development of new tools and resources for data collection, such as building monitoring, machine learning and the building renovation passport
