How do I apply for an energy label?

For requesting an energy label, you don't need any additional information from Vaanster.

Collective installation

 

For applying for an energy label for a dwelling (apartment) in a residential building connected to a collective installation, you need different information than in the case of an individual installation. For the application, you need, among other things, the 'usable area' and 'type of generator.'

Where can I find my usable area?

If a dwelling is connected to a collective installation, the usable area of ​​all dwellings, including common areas connected to the installation, is required. If this area is unknown, the following calculation is used:

Usable area of the dwelling for which the energy label is requested

X

the number of apartments

It is then assumed that all apartments connected to the collective installation have an equal usable area. For more information about the usable area of your dwelling, we therefore refer you to the Cadastre.

What should I fill in for 'type of generator'?

If the technical room in the residential building cannot be accessed – as is the case with installations operated by Vaanster - 'unknown' can be entered as the type of generator. The EP advisor will document in the project file why the technical room cannot be accessed.

Why is the technical room not accessible?

The principle is that the technical room must be accessible if the technical room and installations are also owned by the building owner. This is not the case with installations operated and owned by Vaanster. The ownership is legally established through a building right. Therefore, the installations do not belong to the building.

What information do you need from Vaanster for the energy label?

As mentioned above, specific information from Vaanster is not required for applying for an energy label. The above calculation method can be used to calculate the usable area. The advisor can indicate that the installations are not accessible and therefore enter 'unknown' as the type of generator.
