What is an energy performance certificate?-->
The energy performance certificate (APE) is a document that certifies the energy performance of a building. It indicates the energy class of the property, expressed in kWh/m2 per year, and provides information on the energy efficiency of the building, as well as suggestions for improving it. The APE certificate was introduced in 2005 by Directive 2002/91/EC, and is mandatory for all new buildings and for existing buildings undergoing major renovations. It is also required for the sale or rental of a property.-->
