Progress in the cost-optimal methodology implementation in Europe: Datasets insights and perspectives in Member States.

This data article relates to the paper “Review of the cost-optimal methodology implementation in Member States in compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive”. Datasets linked with this article refer to the analysis of the latest national cost-optimal reports, providing an assessment of the implementation of the cost-optimal methodology, as established by the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD). Based on latest national reports, the data provided a comprehensive update to the cost-optimal methodology implementation throughout Europe, which is currently lacking harmonization. Datasets allow an overall overview of the status of the cost optimal methodology implementation in Europe with details on the calculations carried out. Data also provide insight into energy consumption, efficiency measures for residential and non-residential buildings, nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) levels, and global costs. The reported data can be useful to quantify the cost optimal levels for different building types, both residential and non-residential buildings. Data outline weak and strong points of the methodology, as well as future developments in the light of the methodology revision foreseen in 2026. The data support energy efficiency and energy policies related to buildings toward the EU building stock decarbonization goal within 2050.
