\nThe energy certificate is a document that assesses the energy efficiency of the property. This effectiveness is translated in a scale from A + (very efficient) to F (inefficient).<\/p>\n
\nEnergy certification is carried out by technicians authorized by the energy agency.<\/p>\n
\nThe energy class is determined by several factors<\/strong>, including:
\n-Construction year
\n-location
\n-housing type
\n– housing area
\n-constitution of walls, roofs and floors
\n– air conditioning, ventilation, cooling and heating equipment
\n-equipments associated with the production of hot water<\/p>\n\n
\nThe price varies according to the characteristics of the property and the expert who will choose to proceed with the evaluation of the property.<\/p>\n
\nThe energy certificate is not for life, it is valid<\/strong> for 10 years for small commercial and service buildings. In the case of large buildings, the validity period is 6 years (if issued until 04\/30\/2015) or 8 years (if issued after 04\/30\/2015)<\/p>\n
\nNon-performing individuals are subject to a fine of 250 to 3740 euros.
\nNon-performing companies are subject to a fine of 2500 to 44 890 euros.<\/p>\n
