D^2EPC in Next Gen EPC cluster 3rd Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) workshop
Dec 22, 2022
For making a meaningful, impactful and lasting contribution to the evolution process of the European Building Performance Assessment and Certification (both mandatory and voluntary) the Next Gen EPC cluster of projects strongly believes in enabling and facilitating an open dialogue and structured exchange in between the sister initiatives.
For this purpose, the Next Gen EPC cluster 3rd Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) workshop has been held on 13th of December 2022. The main scope was to explore together synergies and join forces as identified best for successfully implementing the individual projects and overall maximizing the impact at cluster level. This is especially relevant in terms of communication, dissemination, exploitation and technical advocacy, at both EU and national levels, and, although perhaps more challenging, also in terms of technical activities.
