Certificates

Energy certificates assess the energy performance of a building, giving information on energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

They are necessary for the rental or sale of real estate and determine the energy class of the building.

They also provide suggestions for improving energy efficiency, helping to reduce costs and protect the environment.

According to the Regulation of Energy Performance of Buildings K.EN.A.K. (Article 14) the Energy Performance Certificate P.E.A. of buildings:

  • It depicts the energy classification of the building.
  • The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) includes, among other things, the general details of the building, the calculated annual total primary energy consumption of the reference building and the assessed building, the annual energy consumption per energy source and end use, the actual annual total final energy consumption, the calculated and actual annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as recommendations for improving the building’s energy efficiency.
  • Every notary, for the execution of a real estate purchase agreement, is required to mention the protocol number of the EPC in the contract and attach an official copy of the EPC. For every rental agreement, the protocol number of the EPC must be entered in the relevant fields of the electronic lease declarations submitted after 09/11/2015.
  • In cases where the EPC is issued within the framework of programs for the residential sector funded by national and/or EU resources, the Energy Inspector’s recommendations are prioritized based on the eligible interventions at the time.

The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is valid for ten years, except in the case of a major renovation of the building before the decade expires. In such cases, its validity ends upon the completion of the renovation work, and a new EPC must be issued.
