Thermal and water audits and certifications – Ex Ante
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the procurement of 'Ex Ante' (before the event) thermal and water audits and certifications. The objective is to engage a qualified service provider to conduct assessments of building performance related to energy consumption (thermal efficiency) and water usage. 'Ex Ante' implies that these audits are conducted prior to a specific project phase, construction, or renovation, serving as a planning and design tool to ensure optimal performance from the outset. The services likely involve analyzing building designs, materials, and systems to predict and optimize thermal performance (heating, cooling, insulation) and water efficiency. The certification aspect suggests that the audits will result in a formal verification or rating of the expected performance against established standards or benchmarks. This is crucial for sustainable building practices, energy conservation, and potentially for meeting regulatory requirements or achieving green building certifications. The tender seeks experts capable of performing detailed technical analyses and providing reliable certification reports.
This is a services contract in the construction and civil works, energy and power and environment and climate sectors, with a focus on Rehabilitation, Energy Efficiency, HVAC systems and Biodiversity. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 1,100.
