What is the energy performance index? When and where must be indicated

The year 2012 brings major innovations in the real estate landscape. The wording of the Legislative Decree 28/2011 (the "Decree renewable energy") "In the case of a transfer bid for consideration of buildings or individual units, with effect from 1 January 2012 commercial ads selling report the index energy performance in the energy content. " In practice you will be able to publish real estate ads without reporting this index dwelling.

Let's talk about index - non-class energy - which expresses the total primary energy consumption of the building referred to the unit of useful floor area or gross volume. Necessary to document the Energy Performance Certificate, a document that is drawn up by a qualified engineer certifying the energy performance of the building and energy parameters characteristic of the building.

The decision brings undoubted benefits for those who buy because it will be easier to estimate in advance the potential annual cost mainly for heating and hot water.

Confabitare, the association of property owners, turns the spotlight on its website the decision, pointing out that this decision "will lead to a real change of paradigm for building our national landscape."

However, it remains an outstanding issue is not irrelevant: those who do not enter that information will incur some penalty? The device of law does not clarify. Some, like the Lombardy Region, with specific regional law has established the mandatory publication of energy performance "in all the commercials aimed at its sale or lease" and providing for administrative sanctions from 1,000 € to 5,000 euro. But there who, like Emilia Romagna, while providing for the obligation to ads aimed at one sale, does not cover cases of leasing and in today "offenders".
