When it comes to energy certifications for properties, there are certain exemptions in place. These exemptions aim to recognize various circumstances where obtaining an energy certification may not be feasible or necessary. In this article, we will explore some common questions and answers regarding these exemptions.

What is an energy certification?

An energy certification is a document that provides information about the energy efficiency of a property. It rates the property based on various factors such as energy consumption, carbon emissions, and thermal comfort. The aim is to help property owners, tenants, and potential buyers understand the energy performance of a building.

When is an energy certification required?

An energy certification is typically required for properties that are being sold, rented, or newly built. This includes residential and commercial properties. The certification is valid for a certain period and must be renewed after expiration.

What are the exemptions for energy certification?

There are several cases where a property may be exempted from having an energy certification. These exemptions include:

  • Historic properties: Properties officially protected due to their cultural or architectural significance may be exempted.
  • Temporary buildings: Properties intended for use for up to two years are exempt from certification.
  • Industrial or agricultural buildings: Certain types of non-residential buildings that have a low energy consumption may not require certification.
  • Stand-alone buildings: Properties with a total useful floor area of less than 50 square meters may be exempted.
  • Non-residential buildings in certain circumstances: Buildings used for religious activities, workshops, or agricultural purposes may be exempt depending on specific conditions.
  • Buildings to be demolished: Properties that are scheduled for demolition within two years are exempt from certification.

How do I claim an exemption?

To claim an exemption from energy certification, you must submit the necessary documentation to the relevant authorities. This documentation varies depending on the specific exemption you are applying for.

For historic properties, you may need to provide proof of their official protection status. Temporary buildings require documentation showing the planned duration of use. Non-residential buildings with low energy consumption may have specific criteria to meet. Always consult the local regulatory bodies to ensure you have the correct documents and meet the necessary requirements.

Understanding energy certification exemptions is essential for property owners and stakeholders. By recognizing these exemptions, we can ensure that the energy certification process is fair, practical, and applicable to various property types and situations. If you are unsure about whether your property qualifies for an exemption, it is best to seek guidance from local authorities or energy certification professionals.
