About the Project
The EU-funded CHRONICLE project has developed a holistic building performance assessment framework extending throughout all building phases. The project promotes the transformation of existing and new buildings into highly efficient and fully digitalised buildings of the future.
Digitalisation of the building sector is crucial to meet sustainability targets, for example by monitoring energy consumption and creating renovation scenarios, while ensuring adequate comfort for residents by considering environmental, technical, financial and social aspects.
The project started in July 2022 and finished in December 2025.
