The document discusses the Concerted Action EPBD IV, which aims to support implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and maximize its outcomes. It notes the EPBD requires large amounts of data related to energy efficiency in buildings but could also deliver large datasets at low cost. In particular, energy performance certificates for buildings have great potential for data collection since over a million buildings are assessed annually across Europe. However, gaps remain around combining building data with energy use data and better connecting measured and calculated energy performance.
