Report about inventory of smart and novel technologies | This report describes the process to develop an inventory, containing novel, smart and innovative technologies which have an impact on the building energy performance. | |
 |
Report on the use of innovative certification schemes and their implementation | This report on the use of innovative certification schemes aims to tackle current EPC challenges by proposing new features for implementation within existing schemes. | |
 |
Guidelines on how national EPC schemes and SRI could be linked |
In this report, ePANACEA investigates the possibilities for a successful implementation of a combined EPC-SRI approach. | |
 |
Report on the use of (energy) data within EPC schemes |
This document presents an inventory of data that can be used to supplement or replace the current energy performance certificate and explores the potential impact of the incorporation of this data. | |
 |
Report on the current status of national plans, schemes and initiatives on building renovation passports |
The objective of this report is to investigate how the current EPC schemes best make the link towards the BRP and the DBL to further incentivise and stimulate cost-effective deep energy renovations of buildings across Europe. | |
 |
Report on the use of (cost-optimal) renovation business plans within EPC schemes | In this report, ePANACEA reports on the integration of the cost-optimal methodology into energy performance assessment and certification schemes as a tool to evaluate the economic feasibility of integrated packages of business as usual technologies and smart novel technical solutions. |

Insights on user perceptions and needs regarding the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) |
This ePANACEA report presents the research findings from more stakeholder interviews and online workshops with end users and other stakeholders of the EPC. The report provides insights on study participants’ knowledge, perception and use of the EPC, as well as their critiques and needs regarding it. The collected critiques and needs from research participants address different levels of the EPC (implementation, generation and use of the EPC). | |
 |
Fact sheet on energy related behaviour patterns in the context of buildings |
Seeking to increase our understanding of energy-related building occupant behaviour for a more accurate integration of the user dimension in the ePANACEA methodology, this factsheet defines energy-related user behaviour patterns. |

Report on internal test and feedback of new EPC acceptance across the five pilot countries | Assessing user-friendliness of proposals for a new Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) | |
 |
User acceptance of new EPC summary pages | Report on the outcome of the final acceptance test and impact assessment from user perspective regarding the new Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) |
|
 |
Recommendations for the design of the next generation of EPC | Guidelines of psychological aspects regarding the EPC usage (display of multi-user perspectives, recommendations for tailored communication measures) |

Report on the selection of the open-source simulation tool |
ePANACEA’s advanced dynamic simulation method for energy performance assessment requires a simulation tool which fulfills a number of requirements. This report describes the selection procedure for the most suitable simulation tool. | |
 |
Report on the selection of advanced occupant models |
Occupant behaviour is one of the most important factors contributing to the uncertainty of building energy performance. This work explores the possible implementation of advanced occupant models into the Assessment Method 3 developed under the ePANACEA methodology for the use of calibrated models based on dynamic simulation for Energy Performance Certification of buildings. |

Standardised computer file format suggestion for information exchange focused on weather servers and utility companies |
This ePANACEA outcome proposes two standardised computer file formats, one for weather data and another for energy use data, in order to allow information exchange for building energy simulations across the EU. |
