BUILDING CERTIFICATION AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY INVESTIGATION
MEDICO Ltd. provides building certification aimed at assessment and building
conformity certification to the energy efficiency legislative requirements and for
energy saving activities to be undertaken in order to improve the building
energy characteristics.
Pursuant to the Energy Efficiency Act, Article 16, Paragraph 2 “Every
commissioned project, state or municipal-owned property, of total floorage
over 1000 m2 shall be subject to certification. The certificate shall be valid
for a period of 10 /ten/ years”.
Subject of certification is every new construction project, as well as in
case of reconstruction, through renovation or overhaul of an existing
building. The certificate /energy passport/ becomes a part of the
technical passport of the building at its commissioning in the event it
complies with the relevant requirements.
The investigation of energy efficiency shall establish the consumption
of energy, the level of energy efficiency of the technologies and the
management of the energy consumption, the savings of energy and
the heat insulation of the site, the compliance with the standards and
legislative requirements for energy efficiency.
Certification stages:
1. Investigation, measurement, calculation and analysis of the elements of
buildings energy characteristics. Assessment and comparison with the technical
standards. Proposal of energy saving measures. Development of a plan for the
implementation of the selected measures and indicators subject of a monitoring
procedure on the effect of the implementation of the measures.
2.Development and presentation of a report and a summary on the investigation
results.
3.Issuance of a certificate (Category A or B) upon detailed energy investigation
and in compliance with the requirements on technical rules and standards.
Pursuant to Article 16 of Ordinance¹19 there are two types of certificates issued –
Category A and Category B, depending on the year of the building construction:
1) Certificate Category A is issued for buildings constructed until 1990 and meeting
the requirements of the respective legislative acts on designing, construction and
approval, effective as of 1990 and buildings which comply with the provisions of
the Ordinance under Article 15, Para 2 of the Energy Efficiency Act and of the
Ordinance under Article 169, Para 3 of the Special Development Act (SDA) and
Article 169, Para 1, item 7 of SDA. The certificate is valid for a period of 10 years.
2) Certificate Category B is issued for the buildings which comply with the requirements
of the respective legislative acts on designing, construction and approval, effective
as of the year of the commissioning of the buildings. The certificate is valid
for a period of 5 years
Buildings which have been awarded certificates in compliance with the Energy
Efficiency Act and the Ordinance on Building Certification are exempt from Real
Property Tax for a period of 5 to 10 years depending on the type of the certificate
in compliance with the amendments to the Local Taxes and Fees Act.
Ordinance 21 provides for the energy efficiency investigation procedure:
- the energy consumer assigns the investigation to a certified energy auditor and
the investigation itself starts upon signing of an assignment agreement between
the energy consumer and the certified energy auditor;
- the auditor produces a report and a summary on the investigation results and
the report is submitted to the energy consumer. The investigation result is
identification of the energy characteristics of the building which are compared
to the technical standards;
- should the energy characteristics comply with the technical standards a building
certificate is issued;
- should the energy characteristics deviate from the technical standards,
the investigation result is a detailed report and identification of the measures
to be undertaken in order to reach the calculated technical characteristic.
Legislation:
1. Energy Efficiency Act /State Gazette No. 18 of March 5, 2004/
2. Ordinance ¹19 of November 12, 2004 on energy efficiency certification of buildings.
3. Ordinance ¹21 of November 12, 2004 on energy efficiency investigation.
The energy efficiency investigation provides for resolutions on potential opportunities
for energy expenses decrease and the possible energy savings measures to achieve it.
The certification assesses and certifies the conformity of the buildings to the energy
efficiency legislative requirements.
Along with the considerable energy expenses decrease, buildings which have been
certified are exempt from Real Property Tax for a period of 5 to 10 years depending on
the type of the certificate in compliance with the Local Taxes and Fees Act Article 24, Para 1).
