Energy Performance Gap Analysis in Energy Efficient Residential Buildings in Lithuania

Implementing provisions of the EPBD all Member States require to provide EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) when buildings are c onstructed, sold or rented. The purpose of the certificate is to compare buildings’ performance and inform the end-users. However, quite many mismatches and discrepancie...
