Successful EPC schemes in two Member States: An eceee case study
As part of its ongoing work to ensure the EU achieves the full benefits from the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, eceee has looked in detail at the way two Member States – Portugal and Ireland – have implemented the requirement for Energy Performance Certification (EPCs). Both countries recognised, at an early stage, the benefits of certification as a tool to improve the building stock – both residential and non-residential. Common features of both schemes are the attention put into the design of the overall system, rigorous criteria for building assessors and the use of national databases to register both assessors and
certificates.
