In the presentation made by DGTREN, Unit 4, Energy Efficiency  on the recast EPBD, are some interesting points related to common methods (the basis for pan European software) as:

-          the benchmarking methodology (slide 5);

-          the voluntary European certification scheme (slide 8);

-          standards supporting EPBD (slide 13).

Benchmarking methodology, European certification scheme, standardization, all these activities are pointing in the same direction: the need for a common European approach.
