3 Contents Energy Performance Certificate Central registry Business intelligence Statistical information Learning about EPC recommendations

4 Portuguese Energy Performance Certificate Residential Buildings Identification of the Building Energy Performance Rate (Asset Rate) From A + to G CO 2 Emissions Energy Needs for heating, cooling and hot water (kwh/m 2.year) Other information Typology, area, type of walls, floor, roof, windows, hvac and hot water equipment, ventilation

5 Recommendations are the real added value of a certificate ADENE instructed experts to pay particular attention to this part of the certificate Short description of recommendations Range of values for: Reduction of the energy bill Estimated cost of investment Payback period New energy rate, if all recommendations marked in bold are implemented

6 Contents Energy Performance Certificate Central registry Business intelligence Statistical information Learning about EPC recommendations

7 EPC are issued by a qualified expert Information provided by experts is all stored in a central database for process monitoring Information provided by the expert is: All stored in a central database for future monitoring of progress (incl. EPBD implementation) Part used to assemble the certificate, delivering it instantaneously to the expert as a PDF file ADENE website Restricted area

8 Feeding the database Expert issues the certificate using a web-based centralised platform Restricted access area of the SCE website It s the qualified experts interface with the EPC registration

9 Feeding the database The expert fills an on-line electronic form with information about the building Detailed input of technical elements Integration of calculation software tools with centralised platform via XML

10 Feeding the database About certificates issued so far Residential Buildings 90% Non-Residential Buildings 10%
