Le energy performance certificate<\/strong> is compulsory in Brussels for any property sale or rental. A poor score can reduce the value of your property and discourage buyers or tenants. Conversely, a good EPB :<\/p>\n makes your property more attractive<\/p>\n<\/li>\n reduces your energy bills<\/p>\n<\/li>\n increases your everyday comfort<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Visit 10 concrete actions<\/strong> to significantly improve your EPB score.<\/p>\n The roof is responsible for a large proportion of heat loss. Good insulation can save your EPB several letters. Single-glazed windows lower your EPB score. Installing high-performance glazing (HR++ or triple glazing) improves thermal and acoustic insulation.<\/p>\n Insulating walls from the inside or outside, and insulating floors, can significantly reduce energy loss.<\/p>\n An old heating system is a negative factor for your EPB score. Replacing your boiler with a condensing boiler or heat pump is a worthwhile investment.<\/p>\n Programmable thermostats and thermostatic valves optimise heat consumption.<\/p>\n A controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) system with heat recovery improves comfort while reducing energy losses.<\/p>\n Poorly insulated joints (between walls, roofs, floors) lead to significant energy losses. Correcting them can improve your EPB score.<\/p>\n The electricity produced by photovoltaic panels reduces your primary energy consumption, which has a positive effect on your EPB certificate.<\/p>\n When the EPB expert visits, provide all the documents (invoices, plans, insulation certificates). Without proof, certain improvements will not be taken into account when calculating your score.<\/p>\n Improving your EPC score is a winning investment: more comfort, lower costs and higher resale value.<\/p>\n\n
