* ) Banks are interested in Energy Performance Certification (EPC) because it can be embedded in financial instruments favouring refurbishment or new housing. EPC allows for communication to tenants in integral housing costs (rent + energy costs); it can influence real estate values and creates possibilities for enhanced building asset management for housing associations; it may be linked to the maximum heights of a mortgage and to bank guarantees for social housing as the energy cost determine the capacity to pay back loans or mortgage.
**) As cooling becomes a more important aspect in housing, effective shading devices will gain importance as energy friendly way to prev ent ov erheating. This reduces the need for electric cooling devices, which means less energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
