ADENE publishes reports on energy certificates under new EU directive

ADENE, as a partner in the European project EPBD.wise, has released new reports examining the role of Energy Certificates in implementing the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The work included analysis of priorities and best practices for four focus countries — Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary and Poland — plus a recommendations guide any EU member state can use for transposition. Key findings call for stronger quality control of certification systems, better structured data, more training for experts, closer integration with tools like Renovation Passports, and improved communication of certificates' value to users.
