This report presents an overview of the current policy framework of EPCs, and how some aspects of the EPBD have been implemented in the implementing countries Austria (focus Styria), Belgium (focus Flanders), Germany, Greece, Finland and Spain. To develop the present report, ePANACEA project partners were invited to respond to a questionnaire (with about 60 questions) that covered the following topic areas related to the EPCs and buildings related topics: environment, recommendations, end-user perception, technology uptake, energy assessment and rating system. By reviewing the current state, this report prepares the ground for future project activities, which are the development of possible pathways to how the policy framework could evolve in the future and the analysis and estimation of future replication potential of EPC results and the corresponding impact.
