Energy performance certificate
The world’s hunger for energy is rising rapidly, while at the same time, fossil fuel sources (oil, uranium, and gas) are becoming ever scarcer. We feel this particularly in rising energy prices. The operating cost of space heating, water heating and electricity is steadily increasing.
A Energy performance certificate helps estimate its energy efficiency and the expected level of its energy-based operating cost.
It is thus a key for measuring the saving potential of the housing field. The assignment of energy classification to buildings provides transparency for everyone involved. This certification is stipulated by an EU guideline that is mandatory in all member states, and within it, the Energy Performance certificate plays a special role as a sign of quality. The Energy Performance certificate is issued by an independent, authorised agency. Importantly, the assignment of an energy index according to consumption levels takes place after the examination of the construction or the completion of the building.
The Energy Performance certificate shows at a glance how high a building’s heat consumption is. It contains two energy classifications: First, the building’s thermal protection class, and second, an expression of its construction quality. With the aid of a graduated table coloured from green (low energy requirement) to red (higher consumption), even laymen can tell immediately if a building uses a great deal of energy or very little. The heat value is based upon the submitted documents related to energy usage, using a uniform computation method. Owners can calculate a building’s average heat and energy requirements and compare them to the requirements of other buildings.
