Will your office building comply with the Energy Label C requirement from 2023? Renewable Partners can help you with mandatory sustainability measures, energy saving requirements, and strategic advice. Avoid fines and increase value!
As the owner of a residential or commercial property, you are required to have an energy label when selling or renting. This certificate provides insight into the energy efficiency of your property and is essential for sustainable decisions. Since the change in legislation in 2021, energy labels may only be issued by a certified energy label advisor. Renewable Partners is the right place to go for a fast, reliable, and professional application for your energy label.
From January 1, 2023, most office buildings in the Netherlands must have at least energy label C. This energy label is an official document that demonstrates the energy performance of your office building. You can easily check the current energy label of your building via EP-Online, the national database for energy labels and energy performance indicators.
In most cases, the obligation applies to office buildings with a usable floor space of more than 100 square meters, at least 50% of which is used as office space.
Yes, there are specific exceptions to this obligation. These apply to, among others:
For a complete and detailed list of all rules and exceptions, please refer to the website of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
In addition to the energy label C requirement, there are other obligations that you as a business owner may have to deal with:
Does one of your business locations consume more than 50,000 kWh of electricity or 25,000 m³ of natural gas annually? If so , you are subject to the energy saving obligation. This means that you are required to implement all energy-saving measures with a payback period of five years or less. Renewable Partners can advise you on the implementation, reporting, and monitoring of this obligation. Detailed information can be found on the RVO website.
Some larger companies are also subject to a reporting obligation under the European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), better known as the EED audit obligation. We can help you determine whether this obligation applies to your organization and offer support in its implementation.
According to EPBD III legislation, you are required to provide at least one charging station for every ten parking spaces. This rule applies to new office buildings and buildings undergoing major renovations.
Whether mandatory or not, the decision to make your commercial property more sustainable is a strategic investment in the future. Renewable Partners helps you take the right steps and use the right materials. Here are five ways to approach this in a smart way:
Energy-saving measures are essential, but investing in renewable energy sources is crucial for true future-proofing. Consider installing solar panels on your commercial property. This will immediately lower your building's energy index, which will have a positive impact on your energy label.
The government encourages sustainable investments through various schemes. Renewable Partners helps you investigate which ISDE subsidies and EIA, MIA, and VAMIL tax deduction schemes you are eligible for.
Are you looking for financing to make your business premises more sustainable? The BMKB-Groen scheme (SME Green Credit Guarantee Scheme ) may offer a solution. The government acts as guarantor, which makes it considerably easier to take out a loan. Options such as operational leasing for solar panels can also help you become more sustainable without high initial investments.
Installing solar panels or other sustainable systems requires a reliable partner. Choose a specialist with the right qualifications and certifications to prevent damage and problems. It is also wise to insure your investment adequately. Many commercial property insurance policies cover solar panels, but always check the specific coverage for storm, hail damage, or loss of production with your insurer.
Making your office building more sustainable is a complex process involving various legal obligations, subsidy options, and technical choices. That is why you should consider enlisting the help of a sustainability advisor from Renewable Partners. We will help you make difficult choices, ensure that you benefit from all tax and financial advantages, and guide you through the entire process. What's more, the costs of our advice are often deductible via the MIA or EIA if you invest in recommended business assets.

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.
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.

I have experienced Renewable Partners as a reliable and professional party in the field of sustainable energy. They think along well, are transparent in their communication, and deliver customized solutions that really meet the need.
Professional and readily available for questions. I am very satisfied with the service and can recommend the company. Kind regards,
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 energy label inspector is a highly skilled professional who knows his trade. We were helped well and quickly with his advice. The reactions of this company are praising the price, the lowest, and the service, downright TOP!
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.
