This post includes the following reports:
- Concrete implementation of new energy performance certificates features: testing and results in nine countries. This report summarises the outcomes of the testing activities for each of the ten features in one or several implementing countries. This is mainly based on the analysis of the evaluation questionnaires filled out by the implementing partners and the content of the testing results reports. The questionnaires hereby consist of general questions along the testing steps, questions on testing time and related costs, an evaluation against defined cross-cutting criteria (Quality and Reliability, User-friendliness, Economic feasibility, and Consistency with ISO/CEN standards) and final thoughts.
- Implementation guidelines and replicability potential of the innovative feature for the next generation EPCs. This report brings together the outputs of the evaluation of the test projects alongside the insight from end-users and stakeholders. It includes estimations of (1) the barriers and drivers for the wide uptake of the feature, (2) the effects of the wider implementation of the developed innovative feature of EPCs in Europe and (3) the necessary next steps to implement the innovative feature in the certification schemes around Europe.
