As we read on the website, an energy certificate is a document that determines the amount of demand for a given building or part of a building. This way, the owner or tenant can determine their annual energy needs. The certificate was introduced to encourage society to build energy-efficient buildings.
Who must have an energy certificate? What is the cost of issuing a document?
Every owner and manager of a building should have an energy certificate and it should be made available if the building is to be put up for sale or intended for rent. This solution is intended to help future buyers or landlords estimate how much energy costs are associated with maintaining a given premises.
