Report on adaptation requirements for roll-out countries
iBRoad2EPC builds on the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and works on the integration of building renovation passport elements and new parameters into existing EPC schemes to improve the EPC recommendations and guide renovation, either in one or several steps. In this way, iBRoad2EPC can ensure consistent design, programming, and quality assurance with the national EPC schemes. Thus, when implementing iBRoad2EPC in individual Member States, various features need to be adapted to country-specific requirements. The process of adaptation to the specific requirements of implementing countries Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain is described in this report. This can serve as a model for other countries that intend to implement iBRoad2EPC at a later stage.
Adaptations concern, among others, specific target building types, customer groups and energy performance scales, and comprise for example prefabricated text blocks for renovation advise including milestones, targets and notes to avoid lock-in effects, etc., as well , indicators, images and the format of iBRoad2EPC. The adaptations are made in the iBRoad2EPC database where both the contents of the iBRoad2EPC output document and that of the iBRoad2EPC Assistant tool are stored.
The objective of this report is to explain the context, target groups and methodology for country specific adaptation, and thereby the approach for embedding, use and structure of the iBRoad2EPC. The report is accompanied by an excel spreadsheet containing the country specific templates and main content of the database as well as the translations of the content to the respective languages of the participating countries.
The report was updated in November 2023
