3 Report 2014: Energy Performance Certificates across the EU Making EPCs an effective instrument for market transformation and data mapping Goal: evaluate the implementation status of the EPC schemes in Europe by focusing on the quality, availability and usability of EPC data. Quality assurance schemes for EPCs Centralised EPC databases The results of this study are based on BPIE s survey on EPCs conducted in cooperation with national experts from 23 Member States and Norway

4 BPIE Survey 2014 Existence of EPC registers

5 Type of data collected - Format of EPC register Examples Database includes registration number of the EPC, the building type, the calculation method, region where the building is located, certifier data. Folder structure of the register; electronic copy of EPC (pdf, jpg). In : xls format. Since 2010: MSQL database, all information from EPC. Advanced system based on Excel with a user interface. The system requires 80 inputs. All data provided in the EPC + calculation input. Advance SQL database with 250 input parameters in the EPC database; Data variables required in the calculation.

6 Upload of EPC in the register BPIE Survey 2014

7 BPIE Survey 2014 Access to EPC registers

8 Examples of EPC databases Denmark Public database of individual properties providing the EPC and other public information such as property and land value; Limited (paid) access to a more extensive database and Property Data Report with additional information (i.e. water supply and soil contamination) is available; For the recognized property owner: sensitive information is available (e.g. overdue debt to the municipality); Public access to aggregated statistics on energy performance of Danish building stock. EPC Database is linked to other public databases e.g. cadastral register, etc. Access database at:

9 Examples of EPC databases The Netherlands Possible to access information for individual EPCs searchable by number, postcode, address; Public access to aggregated statistics (number of EPC per class, age band, building type); Possible to download aggregated statistics; Cooperation with the commercial sector, i.e. Meer Met Minder Energie. Access database at:

10 Examples of EPC databases Hungary Open access to EPC database; Statistics automatically generated on request and displayed online; Not possible to download aggregated data in spreadsheet format. Access database at:

11 Examples of EPC databases Ireland Dedicated open data portal to access EPC data: National BER Research Tool; Customised search and possible download of the aggregated statistics (raw data format, not visual representation); Access to individual EPCs only via unique code of the building. Access database at:

12 Making use from EPC data

13 Conclusions A well-functioning EPC system accompanied by an EPC database provides a ready-to-use source of information on the building stock. The quality of EPC information is crucial; There is an increasing number of best practices across Europe that demonstrate the added value of EPC data for policy making and monitoring, as well as market and research analysis; There is a need to further support Member States in the development and strengthening of central EPC registers, especially in the context of private data, and data analysis; Standardised methodologies and formats of data gathering and sharing (to enable re-usability) should be promoted; There is a need to further promote the EPC schemes as a tool for mapping and monitoring the national and European building stock. Once properly implemented, it will allow assessment of real market needs and the potential for energy efficiency improvements in the building sector.
