Energy Performance Certificate (Energieausweis)
Energy performance certificate for buildings: Consumption-based vs. demand-based certificate, obligations, and validity under the German Building Energy Act.
Property
§ 80 ff. GEG
Also known as: energy certificate, EPC, building energy certificate
The Energieausweis (energy performance certificate) documents the energy efficiency of a building and is mandatory for sales, rentals, and leases. There are two types: the consumption-based certificate (Verbrauchsausweis) and the demand-based certificate (Bedarfsausweis). The certificate is valid for 10 years and should already be stated with energy performance values in property advertisements.
