EPCsäädöksiä

EPCsäädöksiä refers to Finnish legislation and regulations related to energy performance certificates (EPCs) for buildings. The primary goal of these regulations is to promote energy efficiency in the building sector by providing information about a building's energy performance to potential buyers or renters.

The legislation mandates that an energy performance certificate must be obtained and presented when a building is sold or rented. This certificate assesses the building's energy consumption and provides a rating based on its energy efficiency. The rating system typically uses a scale from A to G, where A represents the most energy-efficient buildings and G represents the least.

The regulations also specify the requirements for the energy performance assessment, the content of the certificate, and the qualifications of the individuals authorized to conduct the assessments. These assessments are based on standardized calculation methods to ensure comparability across different buildings.

The purpose of EPCsäädöksiä is to encourage building owners to improve the energy performance of their properties, thereby reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It also empowers consumers by providing them with clear information to make informed decisions when purchasing or renting a property. The regulations are periodically updated to align with European Union directives on energy performance of buildings.
