The European Commission awarded a service contract to support the uptake of the Energy Performance of Buildings standards by providing tailored information, technical assistance and capacity building services for involved stakeholders.
The EPB Center will be the communication platform to offer these services.
Background
The new set of Energy Performance of Buildings standards, developed by CEN under mandate M/480, provides a methodology to calculate the overall energy performance of buildings supporting the EPBD.
They provide EU Member States with a toolbox to help the implementation of the Directive and aim also at higher transparency regarding the energy performance calculation methodologies.
Each EPB standard has a template for a national annex that enables Member States to tailor the methodology to the national situation.
