Energy label

What is an energy label?

Is it mandatory to hand in an energy label when selling or renting your house. It can be the case that you got a provisional energy label in the first quarter of 2015 from the government. This provisional label is based on information that is known of by the government. With the energy label buyers and renters can easily see how energy efficient the house is.

Energy index

What is the energy index?
Next to the energy label there is also the energy index for houses. This is actually a more extended version of the energy label. Where an energy label is based on 10 characteristics, an energy index is based on 150 characteristics. Also, the energy index is a number rather than a letter, so for example a 1,6. The lower the number the more energy efficient your house is. The energy index is mandatory for professional landlords to determine the amount of rent that can be asked.

How can you get an energy index?
De Verbouwwinkel is certified to determine an energy index for houses. To determine the energy index a home visit is required, so an inspector will actually need to examine your house. It is mandatory to have an energy index if you want to rent your house to others. This can be professional landlords, but also housing corporations. The energy index can also be mandatory for some ‘green’ mortgages.
