Energy Pass
Mixed Use Buildings
Buildings are classified as mixed-use when they are used for both non-residential purposes (e.g. retail space, offices, restaurants, etc.) and for residential purpose, with the surface area of the residential portion being less than 90% of the total.
When is the Energy Pass necessary?
| New Building Projects | Obligatory since 1 January 2011 |
| Sale and/or rental | Obligatory since 1 June 2011 |
How is the Energy Pass established?
For new construction projects the Energy Pass will be issued for the building as a whole according to the procedure for non-residential buildings, i.e. it will be based on the calculated energy need for heat and electricity. For the residential part of the building a second Energy Pass is issued based on the calculated energy need for heating and hot water only; this allows for a comparison with pure residential buildings.
For existing buildings also two energy performance certificates are required. An Energy Pass for the building as a whole is required based on the measured energy consumption for heat and electricity. In addition, for the residential portion of the building a separate Energy Pass is required based on the calculated need for heating and hot water.
Cost
The cost of establishing the Energy Pass and the accompanying documents and certification is based on the size and complexity of the building. Contact us for a non-binding quote.
