Note

Buildings certified for residential and tertiary use (administrative, commercial, or service buildings) are included. Certification is not mandatory, except for new construction and major renovation projects. In the residential sector, however, an energy efficiency certificate is required if the property is to be sold or rented out. The certificate may also be requested voluntarily or to obtain certain types of financial assistance
