Brief report giving an overall evaluation of the feature and describing the basic concept, the methods behind, existing good practices and how to implement it.

Report on the identification of suitable methods and approaches for the assessment of the feature.

This material consists of the Excel spreadsheet and user guide for the Real Energy Consumption feature. The Excel sheets provide the calculation methodology and assessment process. The guide complements the Excel spreadsheet and allows public authorities as well as EPC practitioners to implement them. This guide describes the general principles of the method, the formula structure, methodological options and definitions of input parameters and output indicators. It also provides guidance on how to obtain the input parameters to be inserted in the calculation tool and gives basic information on the output to facilitate the correct interpretation of the results.

This report provides the summary of the outcomes of the testing activities for each of the 10 features in one or several implementing countries. This is mainly based on the analysis of the evaluation questionnaires filled out by the implementing partners, but also on the content of the testing results reports. The questionnaires hereby consist of general questions along the testing steps, questions on testing time and related costs, an evaluation against defined cross-cutting criteria (Quality and Reliability, User-friendliness, Economic feasibility, and Consistency with ISO/CEN standards) and final thoughts.

This report brings together the outputs of the evaluation of the test projects alongside the insight from end-users and stakeholders. It includes estimations of (1) the barriers and drivers for the wide uptake of the feature, (2) the effects of the wider implementation of the developed innovative feature of EPCs in Europe and (3) the necessary next steps in order to implement the innovative feature in the certification schemes around Europe.
