Questions about validity, assessment and registration of the energy label.
A final energy label is valid for 10 years from the registration date. Have you made major sustainability improvements in the meantime? Then you can have a new energy label drawn up to record those improvements officially.
A basic assessment (EP-W/B) is sufficient for most existing homes. A detailed assessment (EP-W/D) is mandatory for new construction delivered after January 1, 2021 or after a very major renovation where the entire building envelope has been addressed.
Inspection photos and other evidence are kept for at least 15 years under the applicable certification rules. This is needed for quality checks and possible audits by certification bodies.
Yes, provided the solar panels are correctly connected to the electrical installation of the home and can be evidenced with an invoice or other valid documentation. Solar panels can improve the energy label considerably.
An official energy label is always registered in EP-Online, the national government registration. Labels that are not registered there are not legally valid for sale or rental.
No. Provisional energy labels have not been valid for the sale or rental of a home since January 1, 2021. A final energy label registered in EP-Online is always required.
Questions about sustainability advice, insulation, subsidies and implementation.
An advisor visits your home or complex and examines the insulation, glazing, possibilities for solar energy and storage, and other improvements. You then receive a clear report with concrete measures, the associated costs and savings, and an overview of subsidies you qualify for.
This differs per home. Good insulation of roof, walls, floor and glazing often forms the basis, as this most limits heat demand and energy consumption. It then becomes clear which additional measures, such as solar panels and a battery, offer the most benefit for your situation. Our advice maps this out for your specific situation.
There are various subsidy schemes for sustainability, each with its own conditions regarding, for example, the type of measure and the combination of measures. Our report gives you an overview of the schemes your situation qualifies for, so you know what you are entitled to.
The report usually follows within a few working days after the visit. After that, you set the pace: you can get started immediately with the contractors we connect you with, or implement the measures in phases.
For a home we charge a fixed rate of € 325. For an apartment complex or residential building we determine the rate on request, depending on the size and type of complex.
No, that is not necessary. After the advice, HPR Expertise connects you directly with reliable contractors, so you can get started with the proposed measures without further research.
