U-Cert Project

u-cert is a horizon 2020 project (september 2019 – august 2022) with the main aim to introduce a next generation of user-centred energy performance assessment and certification scheme to value buildings in a holistic and cost-effective manner. - facilitate convergence of quality and reliability, using the epb standards developed under the m/480 mandate, enabling a technology neutral approach that is transparently presenting the national and regional choices on a comparable basis; - encourage the development and application of holistic user-centred innovative solutions, including the smart readiness of buildings; - encourage and support end-users in decision making (e.g. on deep renovation), nudge for better purchasing and instil trust by making visible added (building) value, using epc’s. u-cert has a focus on strengthening actual implementation of the epbd by providing and applying insights from a user perspective and creating a level playing field for sharing implementation exper
