Optimized nZEB – process map
The new CRAVEzero Report presents a manual of the “Interactive Life Cycle Process Map” (LCPM) developed within the CRAVEzero project. The process map connects all phases for the entire project lifecycle from the urban planning to design, operation and end of life phase. As a main result, this report also comes along with a downloadable “life cycle tracker tool”, an easy-to-use Excel file with VBA macros that combines project roles, actions, and design responsibility matrix. It is based on the experience of the whole consortium in the area of holistic project management with a focus on integral building planning of nZEBs. It gives support on how key performance parameters to achieve successful nZEBs should be prioritized and can be tracked along the whole life cycle process. It can be downloaded here:

Actions, stakeholder-relations, pitfalls and bottlenecks, as well as the required goals, are pointed out in detail. Considering the importance and the complexity to reach nZEB-standard in a cost-optimal way for all the different stakeholders, multiple actions are required. These are, however missing in the standard planning process. This report provides a practical methodology to achieve the best conditions towards cost-optimal nZEBs in the whole planning, construction and operation process considering all relevant decisions, co-benefits, involved players as well as related cost reduction potentials. A process map that connects the entire project lifecycle for design, planning, operation and end of life phase accompanies this report. This process map is a workflow that points out cost reduction potentials through all the stages of the process where all the different parts are linked to providing summaries and reports to the decision-makers in leadership roles.

The main additional advantages of integrating the “CRAVEzero process” into standardized building processes are listed as follows:
- Reduce risks
- Speed-up construction and delivery
- Control costs and energy performance
- Foster integrative design and make optimal use of team members’ expertise
- Establish measurable success criteria
