Certificados energéticos

The energy certificate is a document required by the Ministry of Industry, energy and tourism for all homes that are in the process of purchase and sale or rent. With this action, the European Union tries to raise awareness among the population to gradually improve the energy efficiency of our homes.

This document describes all of the housing that directly affect their efficiency, among others, the aspects that are discussed are the following:

The envelope: the land, The facades and the roof of the house to inspect.
The woodwork and the crystals.
Location and orientation of the housing.
Sources of power generation
State and types of facilities

Once the results were obtained, these are then fed into a computer program in which we can see the power situation of the building and, above all, his margin to improve, this program also generates the energy label.

What is the energy label?

Who should perform this energy certificate?

The energy label is a document that reflects the rating of the housing analysed. This qualification reflects the energy situation as that which is the housing by means of a scale of values, which starts with A (this being the highest value interpreted with the green color) and ends in the letter " G " (this being the lowest value interpreted with the red color).

Part of the final grade, also specified in such a way the following data:

The energy consumption in (KWh/m2 · year)
Emissions (Kg Co2/ m2 · year)

The certificate of energy efficiency has to be done by a competent technician, this technician may be an engineer, an architect or technical architect. You do not have to be with any company specifies, simply, that, like us, have a technical certification.

Who handles the energy certificate?
In Catalunya, once it analyzed the building, block of flats or housing, the results are sent to the Catalan Institute of energy (ICAEN) from the web site of the Generalitat de Catalunya (gentcat).

To get a rough idea on the equivalence of the qualifications regarding the fuel economy of the house, we've created this infographic. Roughly, if the average fuel economy of our homes is 60€/month, so it affects the efficiency of our housing in our invoices.

The price of the energy certificate is dependent on two factors, some factors are fixed and other variables.

Factors fixed (Rates)

In our case, the fees to be paid to the mark, the government (usually between 0€ and 12€ depending on the outcome of the tag)

Variable factors (The fees for the work to be performed)

The certificate of energy efficiency both housing and buildings have a validity of ten years. These 10 years are fixed, always and when the house has not suffered modificacions, if the housing has suffered modificacions, rehabilitacions or reformes, these changes must be reflected in the certificate energy, so in this case this certificate energy should be updated and renovated. As we have already mentioned before the owner it will always be the responsible one and not the tenant.
However, according to article 12 of the RD 39/2015, this document will need to be updated, if prior to the sale or rental of a property, have been carried out reforms or any kind of action that could modify the energy rating of the property reflected in the energy performance certificate is in force. The owner will be responsible for your update.

We normally receive three types of calls:

We are simply called to learn or to help them to solve their doubts (always free of charge and at no cost)
We also receive calls on us to ask for a budget, in this case, we do a quick analysis of the situation and in a matter of minutes, we send out a tight budget and customized by WhatsApp or by e-mail.
Contact for direct recruitment, in these cases in a matter of a day or two, we visit the property, we take the data and process the card. That is to say, that in a matter of between 24 to 48 hourswe already have the label generated by the Generalitat is ready to deliver.
