The CENSE project has just been completed and the present workshop will present the main results, in particular the packages with information on the set of CEN standards to support the EPBD and a series of recommendations regarding a second generation of these standards. This should also be seen in relation to the recently decided revision (recast) of the EPBD. The existing standards are being used very differently in the EU member states. Some have implemented them fully, most have used some of the standards or excerpts of the standards and some others are not using the standards at all. On the other hand, there are many groups or organisations that would like to see more harmonized calculation procedures in Europe for evaluating the energy performance of buildings and HVAC systems. This is also the intention of the Commission, as indicated by the revision of the EPBD.
