Thermal and Water Audits and Certifications – Ex Ante
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the procurement of services for conducting 'Ex Ante' thermal and water audits and certifications. 'Ex Ante' refers to assessments performed before a project or intervention begins, often to evaluate potential performance or compliance. In this context, the services are related to the energy efficiency and water consumption of buildings or systems. Thermal audits typically assess insulation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to identify heat loss and energy inefficiencies. Water audits focus on water usage, identifying areas of waste and potential savings through efficient fixtures and practices. The certification aspect implies that the audits will result in formal documentation verifying the thermal and water performance against specific standards or regulations. These services are crucial for ensuring that new constructions or renovations meet required energy and water efficiency benchmarks from the outset, or for evaluating existing systems prior to upgrades. The tender seeks qualified professionals or firms capable of performing these technical assessments and providing reliable certification. The outcome will likely inform design decisions, investment strategies, and regulatory compliance efforts.
This is a services contract in the energy and power, environment and climate and construction and civil works sectors, with a focus on Energy Efficiency, HVAC systems and Biodiversity. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 7,500.
