The e-passport is a seal of approval for the energy efficiency of your house or appartment similar to the classification used to rate the energy effiency of white goods.
The aim of the energy pass is to offer potential buyers as well as home owners a tool which allows them to compare buildings’energy efficiency. The energy passport, which is also called the energy performance certificate, clearly indicates a structure’s energy requirements, thus enabling consumers without specific knowledge to easiyl and quickly rate a building’s energy efficiency.
The passport is valid for a period of ten years starting on the date of issue. The date of issue and the expiry date feature clearly on the document.
The essential information provided by the pass is the energy efficiency class / rating of a building. This is based on on the energy requirements that have been established for the home / habitation. This rating for residential buildings is based on three evaluations:
- Primary energy requirements (energy efficiency rating) This comprises the energy required to heat the building and to produce hot water (this includes the energy efficiency of the heating system) and takes into account the extra energy required during the exploitation process (production, extraction, transport, etc) of the energy itself (which in most cases is electricity).
- Thermal heat requirements (thermal insulation rating) This takes into account the quantity of heat this is required to uphold the temperature inside the building at the desired level.
- Annual CO2 emissions (environmental impact ratin) This shows the quantity of gas which is harmful to the environment that is set free during the combustion of fossil fuels. This takes into account carbon dioxide (C=2) as well as other harmful gases like methane, cfc,…) which are produced during the exploitation, transformation and transport of the energy used in the building. The less gas is emitted, the better its eco-audit.
The pass also conatins information about the heating system and the hot water generation. This also makes it possible to compare the theoretical and actual energy consumption and to make recommendations towards improving the energy efficiency of a building.
Improve your standard of living while conserving the environment and reducing your costs at the same time:
- Possibility to compare the energy efficiency of various buildings. This is particularly useful when you`re thinking about buying a home.
- An overview over the actual amount of energy required to heat and maintain the property, thus enabling you to assess the energy costs of a property.
- Practical recommendations for the renovation of a building to improve its energy efficiency. These are expressed as savings in € for the amount of energy not consumed over a 20-year period following their inception. Moreover, it provides a budget calculation which aims at paying off the costs invested during the renovation.
Since 1st January 2008, the energy pass has become mandatory for all newly constructed properties and for existing homes, whose renovation requires a construction permission. Since 1st January 2010, it has also become compulsory if a property has been sold or rented.
When is the energy pass mandatory?
¹ A feasibility study on the use of renewable energies must be enclosed with the building application.
² Issuance of the energypass for the newly planned situation.
