- High user-friendliness of the EPC
- Voluntary/mandatory advertising guidelines for EPCs
- Improving compliance with the mandatory use of EPCs in real estate advertisements
The situations in the partner countries were evaluated, measures for improvements were suggested, discussed, and tested The major outcomes at this stage are:
- A text-based list of deep energy renovation recommendations,
- The concept for the online tool development,
- The concept for a Deep Renovation Network Platform,
- A universal, enhanced user-friendly EPC form template and background on the proposed content,
- A detailed policy proposal for regular mandatory training, and
- A general policy proposal for advertisement guidelines and for actions to improve the compliance with the mandatory use of EPCs in real estate advertisements.
Moreover, the White Paper will be the basis for the country-specific adaptation, discussion, and to the extent possible, implementation of the developed policy proposals in the roadmaps to convergence and action towards deep renovation.
