White Paper on good practice in EPC assessment, certification and use

 

The White Paper on good practice in EPC assessment, certification, and use provides analyses, policy proposals and descriptions of tools on the seven prioritized areas for enhanced EPC schemes of the QualDeEPC project. The suggestions will be the basis for the country-specific adaptation, discussion, and, if possible, national implementation.

About the project

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), regulated by the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), are an important instrument to enhance the market uptake of energy-efficient new buildings and the energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings. The Horizon2020 funded project QualDeEPC will work on EU-wide convergence of the building assessment and the issuance, design, and use of quality-enhanced EPCs as well as their recommendations for building renovation. The aim is to make these recommendations coherent with deep energy renovation towards a nearly-zero energy building stock by 2050.

Åsa Wahlström and Maria Haegermark are CIT Energy Managements key representatives in the project
