If you own a heated or cooled building and you are renewing, replacing or installing external components for the first time and the building is assessed for energy efficiency, you must prove that the building complies with the energy requirements of the Building Energy Act.

The owner of a heated or cooled building must prove that the building meets the requirements of the Building Energy Act. Proof is provided with the declaration of compliance. The declaration of compliance must be submitted after external components of the building have been renewed, replaced or installed for the first time and the building has been assessed in terms of energy efficiency.
