Energialuku

Energialuku, also known as Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in English, is a document that indicates the energy efficiency of a building. It is a standardized system used in many countries to inform potential buyers or renters about a property's energy consumption and associated costs. The energialuku typically ranges from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G being the least. Factors influencing the energialuku include insulation, heating systems, window quality, and the use of renewable energy sources.

The purpose of the energialuku is to encourage property owners to improve the energy performance of their buildings, thereby reducing energy consumption, lowering utility bills, and mitigating environmental impact. It also provides consumers with a clear and comparable measure when making decisions about purchasing or renting properties. In some regions, there are legal requirements for an energialuku to be provided when a property is sold or rented. The assessment and issuance of the energialuku are usually carried out by certified professionals who conduct an on-site inspection and analyze relevant building data. The certificate often includes recommendations for energy-saving measures that can be implemented to improve the building's rating.
