Obligatory nature of the CEE(Certificate of Energy Efficiency)

According to the new regulations, from 1^st of 2013, all properties for sale or rent must have an energy certificate; that is to say, a “label” that reflects the energetic behavior of the property and to obtain it is simple, we explain it to you in five steps.First: Identify a competent qualified technician. Inmopedrogea has at its customers disposal the best technicians in the area at the best price.

The Autonomous Communities are obliged to draw up a register of qualified professionals to make these certifications and each Community will have to define a competent body. In the case of Madrid, it is the General Directorate of Industry, Energy and Mines. You have to check this record to make sure that the certification is done by an accredited technician.Technical architects or surveyors are one of the professions authorized to carry out these certificates, as well as architects and industrial engineers. In professional schools provide information.Second: Request a quote and make an appointment with the technician.

The price of the certificate is free, which has given rise to offers of doubtful reliability. Since it includes recommendations to improve efficiency, some are offering the certificate for free in exchange for carrying out the recommended renovation works. In other cases, there are offers that guarantee a positive certification in advance.Each regional government will apply a system of control of the certificates, and if inconsistencies are identified, they will be communicated to the owner, who will have a period of rectification or presentation of allegations before proceeding, if necessary, to modify the rating.

Therefore, the riggers warn that you have to distrust certifications that are not exhaustive and may be conditioned by the offer of subsequent works.Advises that several budgets be requested. They should visit the house or at least know its basic characteristics. Obviously, the work involved in analyzing the energy performance of a house of 80 square meters is not the same as that of a 200-meter house.

Third: Communicate the certificate to the Autonomous Community.Once the technician who has contracted evaluates the house and prepares the certificate, it must be reported to the competent body in each Autonomous Community. The certificate does not have validity until it is reviewed by the Administration, which verifies that the evaluation has been executed correctly and that the qualification of the dwelling is adequate. Hence the importance of having made an exhaustive rating.

This communication implies in turn rates, defined by each Community. The communication can be done by a third party or by the technician himself if he includes it within the service package.Fourth: Receive the registration numberWithin a period of about two working days (depending on each Autonomous Community), you will obtain the energy label with the assigned registration number, which means that the dwelling is already certified and registered with the corresponding administrative supervision.

Since the regulation came into force, the Autonomous Communities are obliged to create a public registry with the accredited properties and their corresponding energy rating, to which a registration number is assigned.

The energy efficiency certificate will have a maximum validity of ten years, being the owner responsible for its renewal. However, the owner can update it voluntarily if he / she makes a reform or considers that there are variations in aspects of the building that may modify his energy rating.

Fifth: Include the certificate in the ads for sale or rentThe Royal Decree establishes that the energy label must be included in every offer, promotion and advertising aimed at sale or rental. The regulation has not yet specified how, but when sold or rented, the seller must deliver the certificate to the buyer or lessee.The Technical Office of the Association of Quantity Surveyors of Madrid recalls that grade A is the highest and goes down to G. The letters respond to indicators of kilos of CO2 emission per square meter of building, related to energy demands or needs , and the performance of the equipment and facilities.
