Certification of buildings

Purpose and Regulatory Framework

The energy efficiency certificate is an official document that certifies the building energy performance and classifies it into one of the seven energy classes, from the highest "A" to the lowest "G." It is a crucial indicator of a property's quality and efficiency, not just a formality.

The issuance of these certificates is regulated by the Energy Efficiency Act (EAA) and its related ordinances. These regulations mandate that buildings have a valid certificate in specific cases to encourage reduced energy consumption and environmental protection.

Types of Energy Certificates

Based on their purpose, there are two main types of certificates:

  1. Certificates for Buildings in Use

    This certificate is issued for existing buildings during a transaction (sale or rental) or when applying for financing. This certificate shows the building's current energy status and prescribes energy-saving measures (ESM) for improvement.

  2. Certificates for New Buildings in Process of Construction

    This type of certificate verifies that a newly constructed building meets all regulatory requirements for energy efficiency before being put into use.

The service is intended to

  • Owners and Managers of business buildings

    For companies that aim to optimize the operational costs, improve the company's environmental image, and comply with legal regulations.

  • Private Property Owners

    Owners who want to reduce their electricity and heating bills, to improve their home's comfort, and to increase their property market value.

  • Anyone Applying for Funding

    An energy audit and the subsequent energy certificate are mandatory documents for participating in numerous state and European grant programs, including the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) of Bulgaria.

Benefits

  • Reduced Energy Costs

    The report clearly shows how you can reduce your energy bills, which leads to a quick return on your ESM investment.

  • Higher Property Value

    Energy-efficient buildings are valued higher on the market and are much more attractive to potential buyers and tenants.

  • Greater Comfort

    The proposed measures provide better thermal and sound insulation, creating a more pleasant and healthier living environment.
