Why is an energy performance certificate needed?

The energy performance certificate documents how energy-efficient a building is and creates transparency for buyers, tenants or investors. It provides information on energy consumption and requirements and thus serves as a basis for assessing operating costs and the state of modernisation.

In Germany, the Energy certificate required by lawwhen a property is sold, rented or leased. Owners must present the certificate to prospective buyers without being asked and state the most important characteristic values in adverts.

Without a valid energy performance certificate threaten Fines of up to 10,000 euros. In addition, a missing or incorrect document can have legal consequences for sellers or landlords. With an up-to-date energy performance certificate from CitySense Immobilien, you are on the safe side - legally compliant, checked and professionally prepared.

What types of energy certificate are there?

In Germany, a distinction is made between Consumption certificate and Demand certificate are distinguished. Both serve as official proof of the energy efficiency of a building and must be presented when selling, renting or leasing.

Which certificate is required depends on the condition and age of the property.

While the consumption certificate is based on real consumption data, the demand certificate is based on a technical analysis of the building.

As experienced energy efficiency experts we check at CitySense Immobilien, which variant is suitable for your propertyand create the appropriate energy certificate quickly, legally compliant and in accordance with the current legal requirements.

Demand certificate

About the demand certificate

Here, the energy requirement is calculated - based on the year of construction, insulation, windows, heating technology and condition of the building. The demand certificate is more accurate and is required by law, especially for older or unrenovated buildings.

Consumption certificate

About the consumption certificate

This is based on the actual energy consumption of the last three years. It is cheaper, but requires sufficient consumption data to be available. The consumption certificate is particularly suitable for newer or already modernised buildings.

Questions & Answers

What is an energy performance certificate and why is it mandatory?

The energy performance certificate assesses the energy quality of a building and shows how efficiently energy is utilised. Owners must present it when they sell, rent or lease a property. The aim is to provide buyers and tenants with transparency about energy consumption and possible follow-up costs. Without a valid certificate, fines of up to 10,000 euros may be imposed.

When and for whom is the energy performance certificate mandatory?

An energy performance certificate has been mandatory for almost all buildings since the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV). It is always mandatory for new builds, sales, new lettings or leases - regardless of the year of construction. Older houses also require a certificate as soon as they are offered for sale.

Who is authorised to issue an energy performance certificate?

Only qualified experts are permitted to issue energy performance certificates - for example, energy efficiency experts, architects, engineers or chimney sweeps with the appropriate authorisation. At CitySense Immobilien, the certificate is issued exclusively by certified energy consultants in accordance with current guidelines.

What types of energy certificates are there?

There are two variants:

  • Consumption certificate: is based on the actual heating and consumption data from the last three years.
  • Requirement certificate: is calculated on the basis of technical building data and is more accurate - especially prescribed for older, unrenovated buildings.

What does an energy performance certificate cost?

The property valuation at CitySense is free of charge and without obligation. It serves as a service for owners who want to realistically assess the value of their property - without any pressure to sell.

How is the energy performance certificate calculated and what does it look like?

Real heating cost bills are analysed for the consumption certificate. In the case of the demand certificate, the building type, year of construction, insulation, windows and heating technology are included in the calculation.
The result is displayed in a colour scale from A+ (very efficient) to H (inefficient) - similar to electrical appliances.

Which energy performance certificate do you need when selling or letting a house?

An energy performance certificate is always required when selling or renting a property. For newer or renovated buildings, the consumption certificate is often sufficient; for older or unrenovated properties, the requirement certificate is mandatory.

How can I apply for an energy performance certificate?

It's very simple: via the CitySense Immobilien form. After your enquiry, we will check which type of certificate is required, advise you on possible subsidies and create the energy certificate within a few days - digitally and legally compliant.
