Advancing energy efficiency at the urban scale: perspectives on reliable information in the next-generation Energy Performance Certificates

The contribution highlights the role of next-generation EPCs as a key instrument for supporting data-driven urban energy planning. Exploiting data through innovative services can significantly enhance the energy and environmental performance assessment of the building stock. Key factors for success include data availability, accessibility, and quality. Within the H2020 TIMEPAC project, emphasis has been placed on enhancing the usability, reliability, and enrichment of Energy Performance Certificate data to effectively support urban-scale energy analysis.
