The 4 Most Important Factors of the WWS Point System: How to Maximize Your Income

As a property owner or property manager, you want to get the most out of your rental portfolio. The WWS points system determines how many points your property receives and therefore directly influences the maximum rent you can charge. At Renewable Partners, we show you how you can improve your score and increase your income.

In this article, we discuss the four most important factors in the WWS scoring system and explain why the energy label makes the biggest difference.

1. Surface area of the dwelling

The size of your home affects the points score: the larger the living space, the higher the score. Although the surface area has the greatest influence on the points score, this factor can hardly be changed. It is therefore important that you focus on the factors that can be influenced, such as the energy label.

2. Energy label: the most important factor that can be influenced

The energy label is the most influential factor in the WWS scoring system:

  • Improving the energy label (e.g., from C to B or A) can significantly increase the points.
  • A better energy label increases rental potential and makes homes more attractive to tenants.
  • Additional benefits: access to subsidies, tax benefits, and a better market position.

At Renewable Partners, we help you with concrete steps, tools, and checklists to improve your energy label and thus optimize your WWS score.

3. Facilities

Amenities in the home, such as:

  • Modern kitchen or bathroom
  • Extra luxury elements

also contribute to the scoring.

4. Safety

Safety is becoming increasingly important:

  • Structural safety (fire safety, locks, smoke detectors)
  • Safety of the environment

Although safety contributes to the WWS score and the attractiveness of the home, its effect on the scoring has less impact than a good energy label.

Why the energy label makes a difference

Since there is little you can do on the surface, improving the energy label is the most effective way to increase the WWS score.
A higher score means:

  • More points → higher rental potential
  • More income from your portfolio
  • Possible subsidies and tax benefits

What is the difference between energy label A and A+++?

The difference lies mainly in the degree of insulation and the proportion of sustainably generated energy. An A label can be achieved with good insulation and an efficient installation. For A+++, more is needed: a large proportion of the energy must be generated sustainably, for example with solar panels and a heat pump.

What requirements must my home meet to qualify for energy label A?

The energy label is determined based on the fossil energy consumption of the home, expressed in kWh/m² per year. For an A label, this value is between 105 and 160 kWh/m² per year. With good insulation, an A label is easily achievable. Homes built after 1991 often already have sufficient basic insulation to fall into this category. Solar panels are therefore not necessarily required to achieve an A label.

What are the benefits of an A label?

  • An A-label home is excellently insulated.
  • You enjoy greater living comfort and lower energy bills.
  • You are contributing to a better climate.
  • Many banks offer interest rate discounts on mortgages for homes with an A label (average 0.1%–0.2%).
  • With an average home value of €387,000, this can amount to savings of €500–€1,500 per year.
  • I want to register my energy label!

    While my energy label doesn't matter at all, new residents are going to renovate the entire house, Nik has still made a thorough and clear report of my old farmhouse. TOP job. Thanks

    The recording was done carefully. All documents and construction dimensions were checked/recorded by the advisor Ronan van der Loo. And good advice was given. He finished the recording within 2 hours.
