3. The Energy Performance “GAP” between the Design
and Operation of a Building always exists!
Differences between expected and actual energy consumption arise from problems with the
design, construction, commissioning and operation of buildings.
Interventions along any of the three fundamentals life-cycle directions; design, build and operation
can reduce this GAP

4. The gap, which often exceeds 50%, can be caused by
erroneous simulations during design, poor constructions
methods and bad operational practices.
Usually the bigger gaps arise from numerous operational
issues that deteriorate the performance well beyond
expectations.
The Energy Performance “GAP” between the Design
and Operation of a Building always exists!

5. “Highly Innovative Building Control Tools
tackling the energy performance gap”
Tools include:
➢ data acquisition
➢ building simulation
➢ energy management
➢ forecasting
Project aims:
❖ To reduce the energy gap between
predicted and real building
performances, focusing on the
operation phase
❖ To propose a new paradigm for the
development of energy management
platform in buildings, integrating
existing expertise and resources
❖ To provide a smart open platform
which is marketable
➢ FDD
➢ renewable energy
➢ behavior modelling
➢ data visualization

6. Expected Results:
❖ a generic and modular platform integrating associated services based
on data collection at building level.
❖ adaptable to allow third-party suppliers to develop own modules
❖ an ‘Apps Store’ for users to get apps to operate better buildings

7. Companies working in the field of energy efficiency
Engineers: providers of BMS technology, ICT professionals,
maintenance staff

9. Enerit ISO 50001 software customised
for H2G Energy Management Module
In HIT2GAP, an effective Energy Management System
(EnMS) is central to the overall process.
The HIT2GAP platform will offer a devoted tool for Energy
Management that will be independent from the building’s
type or size, as well as from any specific technology.
Alongside energy monitoring and energy
data reporting systems, Enerit software
deals with opportunities, plans, actions,
communication and documents for ISO
50001 in a cloud-based workflow
solution.

10. Plug-in Energy Management Module
The Energy Management (EM) functionality will be available as a plug-in module
providing for the day-to-day operation of the building EnMS.
The EM module will help building owners/managers to:
Increase energy savings through better organization and teamwork
Take the risk out of the ISO 50001 certification process
Save time during certification process & maintain it in the long-term
Upgrade from spreadsheets to real workflow, maximizing time and energy
efficiency
Integrate energy monitoring systems to generate meaningful management
reports

11. The HIT2GAP EM module covers the Technical
and Management aspects of ISO 50001
The Energy Planning & Monitoring includes:
o Energy Performance management by carrying out an Energy Review
to analysis energy data and identify and monitor EnPIs.
The energy review
is visualized using
the integrated
Sankey diagrams

12. Energy Planning & Monitoring (cntd.)
Baselines are identified and EnPIs are
monitored based on consumption and activity
data
The HIT2GAP EM module covers the Technical
and Management aspects of ISO 50001 (cntd.)

13. Action Management to help make informed decisions on
Improvement Opportunities (IOs) and Action Plans to meet
Objectives & Targets (O&T).

14. ISO 50001 Management System
supports the management of ISO 50001 processes and information
(Document Management (Docs), Audits, Meetings (Mgt), Non-
conformities (NCs)) to achieve control and continuous improvement of the
EnMS and energy performance.

15. ISO 50001 Management System
supports the management of ISO 50001 processes and information;
Document Management (Docs), Audits, Meetings (Mgt) and Non-
conformities (NCs) to achieve control and continuous improvement of the
EnMS and energy performance.

16. Testing & Validation
The HIT2GAP platform will be tested and validated at
selected pilot buildings
The Energy Management module has already been installed
at these 3 pilot buildings

17. Pilot Projects: 1

21. Testing & Validation
❖ The HIT2GAP Project is ongoing and completion is September 2019.
The HIT2GAP project (Highly Innovative building control Tools Tackling the energy
performance GAP) has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020
research and innovation program under grant agreement N° 680708. www.hit2gap.eu
