Work in WP5 focused on policy involvement and the EU-wide deployment of EPC RECAST results. The
aim of Task 5.2 was to evaluate the compliance of the next generation EPC with EU standards,
monitoring and analysing the technical and demonstration activities of the project to ensure a
technology-neutral approach and transparent presentation of results using International and
European standards, particularly ISO/CEN standards developed under Commission mandate M/480 to
CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The EPC RECAST methodology was continually monitored during the methodology and protocol
development in WP1, the technical work in WP2, and implementation in pilot buildings in WP3.
The revision of the EPBD was followed and commented on throughout the project, adapting the EPC
RECAST work as much as possible to the final version. The revised EPBD aims to enhance the quality,
reliability, and comparability of EPCs, which the EPC RECAST project supports. However, with the new
EPBD recast and a step towards more harmonized indicators, some default options in EPB standards
need revision.
