14 Aug Energy Efficiency Certificate
Energy Efficiency Certificate
The Energy Efficiency certificate is the document that reports on the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of a property. This certificate is necessary in all acts of rental or sale and to register the supplies.
This document must incorporate all the energy aspects of the home, especially to allow a better evaluation of all the elements that make up the property.
The energy certificate rates the property between A (most efficient) and G (least efficient).
In electrical appliances, it happens that the better the rating, the lower the consumption of electricity and water. The same applies to buildings: the better the rating, the less energy will be needed to achieve comfort.
Why do I need an energy certificate?
In June 2013, Royal Decree 235/2013 was published. This approved the basic procedure for the certification of the energy efficiency of buildings.
According to this decree, all users who want to rent or sell a property must have this certificate.
However, having the Energy Efficiency certificate does not imply immediate energy savings. What the certificate gives us is essential information to start saving.
In order to save energy and money, and the first thing we have to do is “measure” the building, we must know what our property is like. And, from this measurement, it will be possible to determine how we can save energy.
How much does it cost and who should perform this energy efficiency certificate?
Unfortunately the cost of the Energy Efficiency Certificate is not stipulated in the Government. This cost is established depending on the supply and demand in the market at that time. The most advisable thing in these cases is to compare prices with different companies or request personalized quotes for it.
The Energy Efficiency certificate must be carried out by an authorized technician who has the appropriate training for it and may be engineers, architects or specialized technicians.
