CERPlan - Cost Effective Rennovation Plan

An integrated and data-driven approach

CERPlan integrates:

  • Energy performance: analysis of consumption and thermal characteristics of buildings.
  • Synergies with maintenance: coordination of efficiency interventions with ordinary maintenance to generate "avoided costs" and make building envelope retrofitting economically advantageous.
  • Economic sustainability: automatic calculation of state incentives, savings, and return on investment.

This holistic approach ensures interventions that reduce both energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, as well as operational costs, improving comfort and property value.

Features

  • Intuitive interface: clear dashboards and visual reports showing energy consumption, cost estimates, and potential savings.
  • Optimized intervention packages: comparison of customized retrofit scenarios, from HVAC system replacement to building envelope insulation.
  • Incentive integration: automatic calculation of available incentives and savings from maintenance, ensuring the economic feasibility of interventions.
  • Real-time data integration: merging data from energy audits, sensors, and external sources, for decisions based on the most up-to-date information.
  • Adaptability to different sectors: customized solutions for schools, hospitals, offices, and other public assets, compliant with local and European regulatory requirements.

Promoting sustainable change

In an era where sustainability is crucial, energy retrofitting represents a strategic investment. CERPlan's innovative methodology, which integrates efficiency improvements and scheduled maintenance, significantly reduces payback times, lowers operating costs, and enhances environmental comfort. This approach perfectly aligns with the goals of the European Green Deal and contributes to increasing the long-term value of real estate assets. Learn more about the scientific methodology behind CERPlan by consulting our paper published on Energies.

Tool for energy managers

Designed to support energy managers, CERPlan offers:

  • Monitoring and benchmarking: real-time key performance indicators (KPIs) for consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs.
  • Data-driven decisions: detailed simulations that allow for selecting interventions with the best cost-benefit ratio.
  • Centralized management: integration of heterogeneous data into a single platform, simplifying decision-making and strategic planning.

The future of energy refurbishment

CERPlan transforms complex data into clear and actionable information, helping you plan refurbishment projects that maximize economic and environmental benefits.
