The energy performance certificate is a document that provides information about the energy efficiency of a property. It shows how energy-efficient the building is and how high the energy consumption is expected to be. The energy performance certificate contains information about the energy status of the building, such as the energy consumption in kilowatt hours per square metre and year, the primary energy requirement, CO2 emissions and recommendations for improving energy efficiency. The energy performance certificate is needed to give buyers, tenants and authorities a clear idea of how energy-efficient a property is. It serves as a decision-making aid for potential buyers or tenants and is also an instrument for implementing legal requirements in the area of energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
