An energy efficiency certificate is a document that evaluates and rates the energy efficiency of a building or home. Its main purpose is to provide information on energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with the use of the evaluated space. Improvement measures are also proposed to reduce the energy consumption of homes.
The energy efficiency certificate is expressed on a scale of letters and colors, similar to the labels on household appliances (from letter A, which indicates high efficiency, to letter G, which indicates low efficiency). This label allows owners and users to easily understand the degree of energy efficiency of the building or home and make informed decisions about its energy consumption.
The process of obtaining the energy efficiency certificate requires a visit from a specialized technician, who evaluates various aspects of the building, such as orientation, insulation quality, heating and cooling installations, windows and doors, among other factors that influence energy consumption.
In Catalonia, obtaining an energy efficiency certificate is mandatory when selling, renting or building a property, with the aim of promoting awareness about the responsible use of energy and promoting more energy and environmental efficient buildings.
