Energy performance certificate – order from a qualified issuer
An energy performance certificate is required when a building or apartment is sold or rented, and when applying for a building permit for a new building. Only a qualified, registered issuer may draw one up. We prepare the certificate based on a site visit and deliver it electronically.
We prepare energy performance certificates together with a qualified issuer, and the certificate is always registered in the issuer register.

What the certificate looks like
The energy performance certificate shows a building's calculated energy performance and which measures improve its class. Here is an excerpt of a sample certificate's content in Iiva's presentation – not the official form.
Excerpt from a sample. The figures are fictional – a real certificate is based on the building's and the company's own data.
