The new EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) acknowledges that a change in strategy is necessary, requiring each Member State to create a clear legislative framework that will deliver the energy saving potential in the building sector. In order to transpose the directive into national law by the beginning of 2006, Member States are facing a whole series of obstacles, such as a lack of awareness and action by the relevant target groups or a lack of transparency and coherence in terms of existing labelling standards. Therefore adapting and implementing national building codes and labelling schemes by national key actors and multipliers represents a considerable challenge for all EU Member States.
The ENERCERT conference hosted by the Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) aimed to help all those involved overcome these obstacles. The conference aimed to enable a concerted effort to be made to improve, promote and implement national building codes and Energy Performance labelling schemes by providing a platform for the international transfer of knowledge and experience. Assessing and comparing national schemes and best practices for the energy performance certification of buildings should foster synergy effects and harmonisation between countries. Providing an overview, exchanging experiences and transferring knowledge on specific labelling instruments should facilitate the definition of national standards and match suppliers of tools to potential users.
dena organised the EnerCert conference in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, with support from the Austrian Energy Agency, the Danish Energy Agency, Building and Civil Engineering Institute ZRMK and the European Commission.
