In this post we continue answering questions about the energy efficiency certificate. Whether the technician's visit is mandatory or what is the validity of the certificate. When must it be renewed or what deadlines exist from the time the visit is made to the issuance of the certificate and then the registration is carried out. Up to more answers… And you? Do you have a question that does not appear on the list? Participate with your comments and share on social networks.
demand for energy efficiency certificate grows
What regulations should be considered in the energy efficiency certificate in the case of energy rehabilitation
Is it necessary to have the energy efficiency certificate when publishing the advertisement for the sale or rental of a building or part of a building?
Is it mandatory for a technician to make an in-person visit to the property to obtain the energy efficiency certificate?
When is it necessary to obtain a new energy certificate if the one I have is less than years old
As a general rule, the energy efficiency certificate is valid for a maximum of years. But there is an exception. The validity is years when the energy rating is the letter G. However, this exception applies to certificates registered since June , . Date on which the current RD / was published, which regulates the procedure for the energy certification of buildings.
On the other hand, the owner can voluntarily update the energy certificate if there have been variations in the property that affect its rating. That is, if the property has been modified in such a way that the certificate has to be modified.
Should the energy certificate be obtained for a home for tourist rental?
The answer is yes . And this obligation applies from June , as reflected in RD / This RD no longer excludes buildings or parts of buildings (homes) whose use is less than months. Therefore, private homes rented for Phone Number List tourist use must have an energy certificate if they are going to be rented . All this since June ,
And what happens with tourist apartments linked to an activity in the service sector? Well, they must also obtain the energy certificate and display the energy label from June ,
What is meant by intervention in the scope of application of RD / that regulates the procedure for the certification of the energy efficiency of buildings and parts of buildings
According to Annex III of the CTE Part I document, there are three types of interventions: expansion, reform and change of use. In the case of renovations, works or works on an existing building other than those carried out for the maintenance of the building are included.
Therefore, the case in which the energy certificate is required in the case of carrying out renovations refers to interventions that are not limited exclusively to the maintenance of the building . For example, painting a facade or waterproofing the roof is not considered an intervention. Replacing a window or adding thermal insulation or closing a balcony is considered an intervention. In fact it influences the energy behavior of the building or part of the building.
If the intervention also affects more than % of the final envelope of the building , then it is mandatory to obtain the energy efficiency certificate.
The DB HE includes a comment explaining how the percentage of the affected thermal envelope is calculated :
It should be taken into account that to calculate the percentage of the thermal envelope affected, all surfaces of the enclosures that define said envelope must be considered, including facades, roofs, party walls, surfaces in contact with the ground, etc.
When does the exception apply to obtaining the energy efficiency certificate for buildings destined for demolition or certain renovations?
Section e) of article of RD / excludes buildings that are purchased for demolition or for carrying out the renovations included in article d) from the obligation to obtain the energy certificate.
This exception is exclusively for complete buildings. It does not apply to parts of a building. That is, it does not apply to a home in a multi-family building that is going to be renovated.
There may even be cases of homes that are vandalized . They do not have windows because they are boarded up or do not even include a DHW generator. In these cases, the energy certificate must be carried out and the most unfavorable situation must be considered. For example, DHW electric water heater or windows are simple glazing and SRPT metal frame.
