This document builds on the project report “Description of current EPC related policy framework in implementing countries”, where the current state of policy framework in the five ePANACEA pilot countries plus Germany are presented. The focus countries are Austria (focus Styria), Belgium (focus Flanders), Finland, Germany, Greece and Spain. This past report described the current state of different selected topic areas based on a literature review and expert interviews. This material prepared the ground for the present report. In addition, we performed internet research on EPCs issued upon real estate transactions to build an EPC database and provide an exploratory analysis. Finally, the current state and pathways of two different scenarios, moderate uptake and high uptake, are described. This is the main contribution of the present report, which will have a follow-up report, “The potential impact of innovative EPC methods on energy savings and related investments”.
