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
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
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
Feeding the database About 500.000 certificates issued so far Residential Buildings 90% Non-Residential Buildings 10%
