Positive comments about the tool
The RCPA tool:
• integrates environmental, social and economic considerations and helps to formulate priorities at the municipal level;
• relies on clear quantitative indicators´ values(already being measured at the urban level in Bulgaria) that are used to assess the existing situation and changes towards or away from sustainability;
• promotes broad public participation, thus increasing community awareness about energy efficiency issues.

Negative comments about the tool
Experts meet difficulties with database collection and multidisciplinary dialogue.
