Energy performance scan of the existing situation

As of 1995, the Buildings Decree specifies legal requirements for the energy-efficiency of real estate. In response, the government implemented the Energy Performance Standard. This standard expresses energy-efficiency in a number. This is referred to as the Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC). The EPC is calculated on the basis of the building’s characteristics, the building-related systems and the standardised behaviour of its users. The lower the EPC, the higher the level of energy efficiency. The Energy Performance Standard is mainly intended for new developments, although the ambition level can also be applied to existing buildings.

WORK TO DO


The Energy Performance Standard has already been included in the Buildings Decree. Energy performance standards have also been formulated for non-civil construction. In principle, all real estate must be assessed against the Energy Performance Standard before 1 January 2008. This means there is a lot of work to do if all properties are to be screened by this date. Search has extensive experience in conducting energy performance scans of existing situations and can asses your real estate quickly and effectively. Our expert consultants conduct these scans on a daily basis and offer a uniquely practical approach. They will apply the scan results to offer immediately applicable solutions, based around an environmentally sound and sustainable economic approach.

EXPERT KNOWLEDGE, PRACTICAL APPROACH


The experts at Search can conduct scans with great speed and expertise, ensuring you know whether your property meets the Energy Performance Standard before the required date. Based on the results of the scan, Search can then recommend the best way of improving your energy-efficiency coefficient, should this prove to be below the required standard. Our experts know everything there is to know about sustainable construction and mechanical/electrical engineering techniquesintelligenteen duurzame inbouwpakketten. These aspects are of pivotal importance when it comes to sustainable construction, renovation and the optimisation of the existing situation. Search can also provide additional services such as project management and supervision during the realisation phase.
