The Regional Exploitation Boards (REBs) represent an important pillar of ePANACEA. The project aims to establish a fluent dialogue with different European stakeholders with special focus on national/regional policy makers and certification bodies, which are directly involved in the implementation of the different EPC schemes and are responsible for energy regulations development in their own regions/countries. Therefore, the REBs are composed of these important regional European stakeholders, as well as consumer associations, building products manufacture associations, professional associations, etc. The dialogue is moderated by the ePANACEA project partners. This document summarizes the content of the second five Regional Exploitation Board meetings which took place in November and December 2021. In total, 36 different and highly relevant institutions from 20 different countries primarily discussed the two topics of insights and recommendations from end-user interviews and convergence and prioritisation of key indicators for EPCs during the five online sessions. The second round of Regional Exploitation Board meetings was divided into three sections, supplemented by two parts in which the "Progress of ePANACEA " and "Summary, conclusions and next steps" were elaborated. The first section was planned as an "Introduction", with the aim of getting all participants up to date on the Mural working system and answering simple questions with "post-its". Four questions were asked about ePANACEA REB meetings, satisfaction with the current energy performance certificates in one's own country, and two questions about visits to the ePANACEA website and the REB exclusive area. In the following section, the "Insights and recommendations from end-user interviews and workshops from 6 countries" were presented, evaluated and later once more discussed. The insights and recommendations were summarised in four categories and the agreement or alternative opinions of the participants were asked for: "end-users' and other stakeholders' needs", "possible and suggested solutions", "criteria-set for an adequate EPC derived by user need assessment" and "expert feedback". In the third section, the "Convergence and prioritisation of key indicators for EPC's" was discussed. For this purpose, two summary sheets were developed based on the input from stakeholders during the first REB meetings as elaborated in Deliverable 6.1. A general EPC front page, a summary sheet for all stakeholders (administration and end-user), as well as a second page, which is an administration-oriented EPC summary sheet, were developed. The contents of each were evaluated and discussed with the experts from the five REB meetings. It is highlighted that this document provides an evaluation on different subjective opinions from several experts from different member states. The conclusions summarize valuable feedback for the upcoming project activities related to the ePANACEA methodology development. |
