Do I need an energy certificate?

The Energy Certificate is the information document that classifies a given property in terms of its energy performance. Energy performance is evaluated according to a rating scale composed of 8 levels – A+, A, B, B-, C, D, E and F. In this, A+ represents the best energy performance that decreases from level to level until F, which represents the worst energy performance.


In addition to the assessment, the energy certificate presents a framework of recommendations that can lead to an improvement in energy performance and, consequently, an improvement in the classification.

 

What criteria decide the classification?

The energy classification of a property depends on the year of construction, its location, the type of housing, the type of floor, the area, the constitution of the surroundings, the air conditioning equipment and the production of sanitary hot water.
