Announcement of the CIEMAT – DYNASTEE Symposium on Thermal transfer of building envelopes; from different stakeholder perspectives towards energy efficient buildings.
When: Tuesday 27th October 2026, 9:30 – 16:30
Where: CIEMAT Madrid Avenida Complutense, 40, 28040 Madrid
Language: English
The focus of this one-day event will be on novel building performance measurement with guest speakers from the EU and Spain to take us through the most innovative ways of measuring and analysing the energy performance of domestic and non-domestic buildings.
Apart from introductions of CIEMAT and the DYNASTEE Network, all IEA-EBC Annex 94 Subtasks (1 to 5) will contribute with a project progress presentation.
The Symposium topics will include the following:
- Novel measurement of whole house heat loss. What could be a feasible duration for on-site measurement and analysis of the Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC)?
- Ongoing research on the Heat Transfer Coefficient with related research activities on the methods themselves and applications in the framework of research projects.
- What are HTC values useful for? And for whom; building design, energy providers?
- Implementation of EPBD recast
- Updates on latest EU and Spanish legislation, available guidance and standards around the EPBD
- Identify possible roles of experimental procedures in the implementation of the National Plan for Building Renovation by different stakeholders.
Preliminary programme
09:30 – Start
- Introduction by CIEMAT, DYNASTEE and Annex 94
- Annex 94 Subtask Leaders on project progress
- Three presentations from EU organisations (Ireland, UK and France)
12:30 – Lunch Break
14:00 – Afternoon Session
- Three to four presentations from governmental bodies on EPBD, certification, and industry and academic contributions
- Three to four presentations on applications and novelties
16:30 – End
During the coming months, there will be more detailed information on the DYNASTEE website.
The Symposium will be followed by the 3rd working meeting of IEA – EBC Annex 94 on 28-29 October.
A previous DYNASTEE Symposium was held on 28 April 2023, jointly organised by the University of Salford (UK), including a visit to the impressive Energy House 2.0. By organising this second Symposium at CIEMAT in Madrid on 27 October, DYNASTEE aims to continue bringing people together to build networks and to discuss some genuinely novel methods that are cost effective and beneficial for clients/stakeholders in the construction industry. It is a great chance to hear about the latest developments in technology and methods of measuring building energy performance.
