The main difference between an energy performance certificate and an energy consumption certificate: The energy performance certificate evaluates your building based on its structural characteristics—regardless of user behavior. The energy consumption certificate is based on actual energy consumption over the past three years. Which one you need depends on the year of construction and the number of residential units:
Building type | Proof of Need | Energy Use Certificate |
|---|---|---|
Built in 1977 or later, or energy-efficiently renovated, ≥ 5 residential units |  | |
Baujahr ab 1977 oder energetisch saniert, < 5 WE | | |
Built before 1977, not renovated, ≥ 5 units | | |
Baujahr vor 1977, nicht saniert, < 5 WE | |  |
New construction (no consumption data available yet) | | |
According to the Building Energy Act (GEG), an energy performance certificate is required whenever you sell, rent, or lease a property. The energy performance ratings must be included in the property listing.
Energy Performance Certificate for Rentals: A valid energy performance certificate must be available and presented to the tenant for every new lease. Failure to provide an energy performance certificate when renting out a property may result in fines of up to €10,000.
Energy Performance Certificate for Sales: An Energy Performance Certificate is also required by law when selling a property. Potential buyers have the right to view the certificate no later than at the time of the property viewing.

Cost of an Energy Performance Certificate: An Energy Performance Certificate is more time-consuming to prepare because it requires an assessment of the building's structural characteristics. However, ordering it online is significantly cheaper than having it done on-site. You can see the exact price directly on the order form.
Energy Consumption Certificate Costs: An energy consumption certificate is generally less expensive than an energy demand certificate, as it requires less data to be collected. This requires consumption data covering at least three years.

The energy demand certificate assesses the theoretical energy demand based on the building's characteristics. The energy consumption certificate is based on actual consumption over the past three years. For residential buildings with fewer than 5 units, built before 1977, and without energy-efficiency renovations, only the energy demand certificate is permitted.
The cost depends on whether you need a needs assessment or a consumption assessment. Ordering online saves you up to €300 compared to an on-site assessment—with the same legal validity. You can see the exact price directly on the order form.
An energy performance certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. Once it expires, a new certificate must be issued if you wish to sell or rent out the property.

The energy performance certificate is an official document that provides a clear picture of a building’s energy efficiency. It assesses how much energy a building requires for heating, hot water, ventilation, and cooling, and classifies it into an efficiency class ranging from A+ to H.
Since the Building Energy Act (GEG) took effect, an energy performance certificate has been required by law for the sale, rental, and leasing of real estate. Property owners are required to include the energy performance ratings in the real estate listing.
An energy performance certificate is required whenever you sell, rent, or lease a property. The energy performance ratings must already be included in the property listing. Failure to provide a valid certificate may result in fines of up to €10,000.
