The purpose of this report is to provide a detailed comparative analysis of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) frameworks in Kosovo, Albania and the European Union with the aim of identifying policy gaps and offering targeted recommendations for improving energy efficiency in these regions. This report seeks to assist policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners involved in the energy and construction sectors by offering insights that will contribute to the development of stronger regulatory frameworks and practical approaches to EPC implementation.
By aligning Kosovo and Albania’s EPC systems with EU standards, the report aims to facilitate progress toward meeting energy efficiency goals, addressing energy poverty, improving the sustainability of buildings, and enhancing overall security of energy supply. These improvements are vital for advancing long-term renovation strategies that not only improve energy performance but also contribute to broader climate goals, economic savings and a more resilient infrastructure in both Kosovo and Albania.
In providing this comparative overview, the report will play a key role in guiding policy development and program implementation, supporting both national governments and the private sector in fostering a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. The insights presented in this report will be essential for driving coordinated efforts between regional and international stakeholders, ensuring that these countries can achieve their energy efficiency and climate objectivesn in line with EU standards.
