Since January 1, 2021, it has been mandatory to have an energy label when selling or renting out homes and commercial buildings in Groningen. This energy label provides insight into the energy efficiency of the property and offers valuable information for buyers and tenants about expected energy costs and opportunities for energy savings. In Groningen, where sustainability is high on the agenda, this is particularly important.
Groningen, known as the 'City of Talent', has a varied housing supply, from historic buildings in the city center to modern new residential areas. Did you know that Groningen aims to be CO2-neutral by 2035? This makes it all the more important to accurately assess the energy performance of each home. An energy label provides clarity about the energy efficiency of your home and offers concrete advice on improving energy efficiency.
Bouwhuis Energielabels has an extensive network of certified inspectors active in the Groningen region. As a result, we can serve you quickly and at competitive rates. We are active in Groningen and surrounding areas such as Haren, Ten Boer, Bedum, and Hoogezand. Contact us to request your energy label quickly and affordably. Our expert inspectors not only provide an accurate energy label but also offer advice on improving the energy performance of your home.
On our pricing page, you will find the current rates for obtaining an energy label in Groningen. Costs vary depending on the type and size of your home. Student housing and apartments, of which there are many in this university city, can often be inspected at lower costs than single-family homes.
In addition to homes, you can also contact Bouwhuis Energielabels for energy labels for commercial buildings. Whether it concerns offices in the Zernike Science Park, hospitality venues on the Grote Markt, or shops in the Folkingestraat, our inspectors are ready to assist you. From January 1, 2023, office buildings larger than 100m² must have at least energy label C. Without this label, the building can no longer be used as an office. Additionally, transferring a property without an energy label may result in a fine. Our certified advisors ensure that your commercial property is inspected quickly and accurately and complies with all legal requirements.
