European Hub for Sustainability and Energy Certification of Buildings: As more and more data on the operational use of buildings is available today and building quality can be tracked through various criteria, it is necessary to expand the certification process in the EU by developing a scalable methodology to consider, assess and monitor buildings throughout their life cycle.
Target
The EUB SuperHub project will support the further development of the certification process for buildings in the EU. By developing a scalable methodology to consider, assess and monitor buildings over their life cycle, the focus will be broadened from energy to a holistic view.
The state of Vorarlberg is involved as a practice partner and brings its many years of experience with certification through the municipal building certificate into the project.

Holistic views of buildings as well as social and technological shifts in society require a shift in the way we view the built environment in order to trigger incentives for investment in energy-efficient buildings.
The EU Level(s) initiative is already leading the way for a new, holistic view of buildings, taking into account sustainability principles (LCA – life cycle analysis, LCC – of life cycle costs, etc.) for residential, commercial and public buildings. The assessment of energy performance and the issuing of energy performance certificates for buildings must therefore be further developed uniformly within the EU in all member states to reflect technological developments and the needs of society.
