A home with energy label G is significantly outdated in terms of energy performance. These homes were often built before the war or have hardly been improved for decades. As a result, a lot of heat is lost, installations are outdated, and energy costs are much higher than necessary.
The G label is the only red label and is therefore considered very unfavorable. Homes with this label consume significantly more energy than necessary, which is directly reflected in your monthly costs and comfort.
A home with energy label G typically consumes more than 380 kWh per m² per year. This is two to three times as much as homes with energy label A. This high consumption is caused by a combination of poor insulation, outdated installations, and heat loss in many places in the home.
The good news: a G label can almost always be significantly improved. Sometimes even in several steps at once. With targeted measures, you can quickly make big leaps towards label E, D, C, or even higher.
Although it may feel overwhelming at first, investing in energy efficiency pays off in the long term: lower energy costs, greater comfort in your home, and a higher property value. Renewable Partners helps you determine which measures are most efficient for your type of home and budget.
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.
