Energy labeling of properties

Energy labeling isn't just a legal obligation; it's also a step towards more sustainable property management. A higher energy label signifies that the property owner has taken responsibility for the environment. By handling energy labeling correctly, one can achieve both a better environmental balance and financial gain while improving the indoor climate for residents. Below, you can read more about what an energy label is, how to actively use it in your property management, and how best to utilize DEAS as your advisors.

An energy label or an energy performance certificate is a document describing a property's energy consumption and potential for energy savings. Since all properties over 60 m2 must have an energy label, the labeling is mandatory. Additionally, a property must be able to present an energy label in connection with sale or rental. To obtain an energy label, the property must be assessed by an energy consultant, who will place the property on the energy label scale. This scale ranges from A-G, where A is the best placement.

Which properties need an energy label?

Properties over 60 m² and properties where an apartment is to be sold or rented.

Specifics about energy labeling

The energy label is valid for ten years. The same energy label can be used if the property or individual apartments are sold multiple times within the ten years. The energy label no longer applies if major changes are made that alter energy consumption.

Different energy labels

The well-known energy labels are placed on a scale from A to G, where A2020 is the highest standard. It's a system you often encounter with appliances and electronics. The energy label only describes the overall quality of the building and not the individual apartments, as there may be differences in how residents in the property use heat. Energy labels at the higher end mean, among other things, that the property retains heat well or has an efficient heat source.

Many choose to use energy labeling as a tool for future renovation projects, as it provides suggestions on how to improve and save energy in the property. Fundamentally, energy efficiency can often be increased by improving insulation and windows, as well as maintaining the building. The result is a property that is better for the environment and improves the indoor climate for residents.

Today, sustainability and energy-optimized buildings are increasingly important for investors - and with good reason. In addition to meeting legal requirements, there are also significant financial savings to be made. In short, a property that manages to retain heat and maintain a comfortable indoor climate will reduce the need for heating among residents. When less heat is used, money is saved. Furthermore, a good energy label will make the property attractive to buyers and thus increase its sales value.

Energy label - extended

We collect relevant data, send out the task for tender, approve, and register the energy label. Our energy engineers check and quality assure the energy label and delve into any deviations from, for example, calculated consumption and realized consumption. We assess energy-saving proposals and investigate if any already initiated improvements have been overlooked. This can help elevate the energy label to a better class. Additionally, there is the price for the actual energy label, which is obtained through the tender process.
