Abstract
Introduction
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2002/91/EC lays down a
minimum requirement of energy performance for new and existing buildings and
creates an obligation for energy performance certificates to be supplied when
buildings in Europe are built, sold, or leased. This brief considers how large
Utilities are ideally placed to develop and leverage substantial new market
opportunities.
Scope of this report
- Insight into current and future proposed EU legislations and the extent to
which they have been taken up by EU Member States.
- Knowledge of energy performance certificates and how they will become part
of a mature and rapidly growing multi energy services market.
- Awareness of the current competitive landscape and the strategic
commercial importance of energy performance certificate data.
- Reasons why the market is likely to respond to a strong value added
proposition, which large Utilities are ideally placed to deliver.
Research and analysis highlights
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2002/91/EC will have a
significant impact on the energy industry. However, the implementation of the
Directive has turned out to be a considerable practical challenge for most
Member States at a time when the European Commission has announced its
intention to extend the Directive further.
With energy prices and environmental concerns on the increase, energy
performance certificates have been heralded as key to raising awareness of the
need for greater energy efficiency. It is expected that energy performance
certificates will quickly become part of a mature and rapidly growing multi
energy services market.
Utilities have been slow to capitalise on the growing and lucrative energy
performance certificate market, yet it is clear that they recognise its
commercial value and strategic importance. Using existing resources and
infrastructures, large Utilities are ideally placed to overcome barriers to
entry and take majority market share.

certificate market and the recently enacted EU legislation which created it.
- Understand key market characteristics and how to leverage opportunities to
substantially augment the sale of core business products and services.
- Re-assess your company' s strategic positioning vis-à-vis the energy
