What is an energy label?

What exactly is an energy label? An energy label is a certificate that provides information about how energy efficient a building is. The label varies from energy label A (very energy efficient) to energy label G (very energy inefficient).

An energy label is mandatory when selling or renting real estate. The label is determined based on various factors, such as insulation, heating, ventilation and the use of sustainable energy sources.

How long is an energy label valid?
An energy label remains valid for 10 years from the date of issue. The expiry date ('valid until' date) is always stated on the label. Has your energy label expired? Then it is important to apply for a new energy label.
