The number of offices that meet this obligation is increasing every day. However, there are still steps to be taken for the majority of the offices. Energy Department is happy to assist these offices in taking these steps. We can help your company comply with the energy label C requirement.
An energy label is a document that indicates the energy efficiency of your business premises and puts it in an energy class. The energy label also contains advice about how a building can be made more energy-efficient. Any more questions about the energy label? You can always contact us.
Since 1 January 2015, the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate checks whether a building has an energy label upon sale, rental or completion. No energy label yet and never checked? Now it is time to take action. The fines can mount up to € 20.250, – .
