If you plan to put a building into operation, you will need a temporary energy certificate. This document assesses the planned energy efficiency of a building or its parts during its design, reconstruction, or renovation stages. A temporary energy certificate is required for new constructions, major renovations, and when making changes to parts of a building. The certificate is registered in the Construction Information System (BIS).
To obtain this certificate, you need to contact a company specializing in building energy efficiency assessments, with certified experts. For example, SIA “Efekta” offers services including obtaining the certificate and energy audits.
A temporary energy certificate is valid for 3 years, after which you can apply for a long-term certificate valid for 10 years. Unlike the final energy certificate, the temporary certificate is mandatory only for starting the operation of the building. The final certificate may be required in other cases, such as for rental spaces or for EU fund applications.
To get a temporary energy certificate, you need to submit the building project, cadastral measurement documents, information about the heating system, and the applicant's details. SIA “Efekta” provides all the necessary services to help you obtain this certificate. Contact them via email at [email protected] or by phone at +371 26431341 to start the process.
