Building energy performance certificates are a key tool for assessing the results of energy renovation projects and therefore play an important role in securing project financing. Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure high quality in terms of performing the energy performance assessment, the process of issuing the certificates and their content. The main focus of the session was related to the topic of the new generation of energy performance certificates for buildings. In his presentation on this topic, Kamen Simeonov presented the main results of the sister project U-Cert, which is at the end of its implementation, and introduced to the audience the activities and goals of the newly launched crossCERT project.
