Frequently asked questions about EPC

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is an official document that rates a building's energy performance on a scale from A (very efficient) to G (very energy-inefficient). It is mandatory for sales or rentals in Belgium.

An EPC certificate costs on average between 150 and 300 EUR, depending on the building size and region. The price is set by the certified energy expert.

A good EPC label (A or B) can increase a property's value by 15-25% compared to a poor label (F or G). Buyers are willing to pay more for energy-efficient homes.

In Flanders, every existing home must have at least an EPC label C by 2030. In Wallonia, a minimum D label is required from 2025. In Brussels, an EPC is already mandatory for all sales and rentals.

The most effective measures are roof insulation, wall insulation, replacing windows with double or triple glazing, and installing a heat pump or solar panels.

Yes, each region in Belgium offers subsidies for energy renovation. In Flanders via Mijn Verbouwpremie, in Wallonia via Primes Habitation, and in Brussels via Renolution.
