Some issues of discussions:
• Have you conducted any uncertainty analysis with regards to data gaps of EPEA?
• Have you examples of studies related to adapted products?
• Have you conducted any integrated analysis of EP results to physical accounts?
• Have you thought of how to integrate e.g. energy efficiency to EPEA type framework?
