The energy performance certificate is a key policy instrument of Directive on the Energy Performance
of Buildings, which has been substantially amended several times in order to increase its ambition
level and quality.
Following the European Green Deal, the Renovation Wave strategy contains an action plan with
concrete regulatory, financing and enabling measures, with the objective to at least double the annual
energy renovation rate of buildings by 2030 and to foster deep renovations.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast (EU/2024/1275) [3] strengthens the role of
Energy Performance Certificates and aims to increase their reliability, quality and comparability. It also
introduces a Renovation Passport as a voluntary document that provides a clear roadmap for staged
deep renovations, helping owners and investors plan the staged renovation.
Deliverable D1.11 is a consolidated report from Task 1.5 at the end of the project specifying the EPC
template for residential buildings, including description of key performance indicators, rating scale,
additional indicators as IAQ, SRI, costs, use of metered energy and integrating the renovation
roadmap. There is a strong link with other tasks in WP1, especially with Task 1.1, Task 1.4 and Task 2.4
and also with feedback loop from testing phase in WP3 and consultation with PAB and SMG members
in WP5.
