The EU has issued new guidance on energy performance certificates. Reliable, comparable EPCs are key to the #RenovationWave and #EnergyPerformance goals. Should EPCs serve regulators first, or be designed with citizens in mind?

Energy Performance Certificates are meant to guide Europe’s renovation wave. Often they end up as paperwork instead of tools for action. OpenBEP4EU is testing a common engine across 5 countries to make EPCs clearer and more useful. What would make you trust an EPC?

Are you interested in contributing to the UK government's net zero buildings agenda? The Home Energy Model (HEM) is set to overhaul how the UK estimates the energy performance of its 30 million+ homes. Currently, UK homes account for approximately 13% of our greenhouse gas emissions. This project aims to establish the policy making infrastructure necessary to help bring that to net zero. HEM represents a significant upgrade to the existing system, offering a step-change improvement in the accuracy of energy performance assessments. The model will support key policies such as minimum energy standards for new homes, and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), with over 1.6 million EPCs produced annually. Additionally, HEM will foster innovation by highlighting the benefits of new technologies in decarbonising homes.
Relevant to the future of EPCs: based on this notice for a recent supplier event, Labour intends to press ahead with Tory plans to replace the Standard Assessment Procedure with a Home Energy Model www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/efd42...

The most controversial element of #EPBD proposal was minimum #energyperformance standards for existing buildings...
...but there's significant citizen support for just this.
2/3 of respondents support minimum standards for homes - polling in 🇪🇸🇮🇹🇩🇪🇨🇿

It’s out - the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast. We’ve all been waiting with bated breath for the central measure - Minimum #EnergyPerformance Standards - to kick-start the ‘Renovation Wave’.

Minimum #EnergyPerformance standards are receiving increasing attention around the world. MEPS are a flexible tool that can serve local priorities. Starting here in Europe, these case studies look at existing standards. https://bit.ly/3jRGqnb

Current policies leave a gap when it comes to driving the #renovation of most existing buildings. MEPS can fill this gap. 3/9 #BuildingRenovation

@EU_Commission will propose Minimum #EnergyPerformance Standards (#MEPS) this year as part of #EPBD revision. Our new paper “Next steps for MEPS” sets out how to do this. 1/9 https://bit.ly/34wyimc #RenovationWave #EUGreenDeal @Energy4Europe

Despite Germany’s relatively well-developed support for building #renovation it needs significant new policies to meet 2030 targets. Minimum #EnergyPerformance standards could be the missing piece of the puzzle. @Andr_Jahn https://tinyurl.com/rr5ffc5j @RegAssistProj
Do you know of other examples? My 'work in progress' map collates the examples of minimum #energyperformance standards for existing buildings that I have found for a @RegAssistProj report. http://bit.ly/2A7VH1Q There must be more...
It's time for stronger measures to raise the #renovation rate. Minimum #EnergyPerformance standards can improve the worst buildings now and get the stock to #netzero by 2050. My new report with Marion Santini examines this important policy. @RegAssistProj https://bit.ly/2A7VH1Q
