The two teams, their guest speakers and colleagues from the Next Gen EPCs cluster, came together on 6 July for the 2022 event on Energy Performance Certificates. The programme told the story of these H2020 research and innovation projects, highlighting main results and preparing the ground for the exploitation of the outputs, both at EU and national levels.

While X-tendo has by design a modular structure covering 10 features (smart readiness indicator, comfort, outdoor air pollution, real energy consumption, district heating, EPC databases, building logbook, tailored recommendations, financing options, one stop shops), U-CERT project has a specific recipe still allowing flexibility (convergence of calculation methodologies with the EPB standards, user-centred approach with a nudging effect, indoor environmental quality, smart readiness indicator, measured building performance and operational rating).
