A new EPC method arises: the NTA 8800 EPC. Originally slated for 1 July 2020, its launch was postponed to 1 January 2021. But what is the NTA 8800 EPC and what does it mean for you? Find out in this article.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every building has an EPC. As we make efforts to transition to a sustainable society, the energy consumption of buildings is a subject of increasing concern. That\u2019s why the EPC has an increasingly important role to play. These EPCs have both an internal and an external function. To the outside world, they show how energy-efficient or energy-guzzling a building is. And for the users of the building itself, the EPC can help identify the places where steps can be taken to save energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2021, a new method was introduced in The Netherlands for both residential and non-residential buildings: the NTA 8800 certification. The best thing about the new methodology is that it covers both new buildings and existing buildings for residential and non-residential use under the same standard. Having one standard makes things a lot clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another idea behind the NTA 8800 certification was the desire to increase the level of detail on an EPC to give a more realistic picture of the reality. The EPCs we know today are expressed as the energy index. As the figure below shows, an energy index between 1.30 and 1.16 results in an EPC rating of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a building\u2019s EPC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
