Energy performance certificate in Barcelona

We produce your energy performance certificate in Barcelona and the surrounding area: we visit the property, calculate its rating with official software and register it with ICAEN. You need it to sell or let, and we explain which improvements would move you up a letter.

We register it for you with the Catalan Energy Institute (Institut Català d’Energia).

What it is

What is an energy performance certificate?

The energy performance certificate assesses a property’s energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and gives it a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It takes into account the building envelope, orientation, building services and the demand for heating, cooling and hot water.

It is mandatory for selling or letting homes and commercial premises, and the label must already appear in listings. It is also required when applying for energy retrofit grants.

When you need it

  • To sell or let a home or commercial premises
  • To advertise the property on property portals or through estate agents
  • To apply for energy retrofit grants
  • On completion of renovation, extension or change-of-use works
  • When the previous certificate has expired

What it includes

An official certificate and useful advice

We don’t just assign a letter: we explain the result and which improvements are worthwhile.

Site visit

One of our technicians visits the property and records data on the building envelope and services.

Official calculation

We model the property with recognised software such as CE3X or HULC.

Improvement proposals

We tell you which measures would improve the rating and in what order to carry them out.

ICAEN registration

We enter the certificate in the official register and give you the label.

Price

How much does an energy performance certificate in Barcelona cost?

For a home in Barcelona, the energy performance certificate costs from €125 + VAT, plus the ICAEN registration fee (€12.90 for a house or flat). It includes the site visit, the calculation with official software, the improvement proposals and the registration.

We work in Barcelona and the surrounding area: the online quote includes travel costs based on the municipality.

If you also need the certificate of habitability or the asbestos certificate, we do everything in a single visit, with discounts of up to 30% on combined orders.

Residential buildings

One certificate for the whole building

If you own a residential building, there is no need to certify the flats one by one. Under article 6.2 of Royal Decree 390/2021, the certificate for a dwelling can be based on a single certificate for the whole building. That certificate is valid for selling or letting any of its flats.

  • One visit and a single registration. One of our technicians surveys the whole building and we register it with ICAEN for a single fee.
  • Lower cost. It costs around a third less than certifying the flats one by one. For a 12-flat building in Barcelona: €985 + VAT, compared with €1,505 + VAT flat by flat (plus registration fees).
  • Ready for every sale or let. For 10 years (5 if the rating is G), each owner can attach a registered copy to the contract.
  • One rating for the whole block. All the flats share the building’s rating. If a flat has been refurbished (windows, insulation, boiler), its own certificate may give it a better rating. We will advise you on the option that suits you best.

Designed for owners of entire buildings, owners’ associations, property administrators and property portfolios.

How we work

Hassle-free, from visit to registration

We take care of the whole process. If it is urgent, we can deliver the documents to the authorities within 24–48 hours; please check availability with us first, as it depends on our workload.

1. Quote

You give us the address, type of property and floor area.

2. Site visit

We arrange the visit and inspect the property and its services.

3. Calculation

We calculate the rating and prepare the improvement recommendations.

4. Registration

Beyond the label

Want to improve your home’s rating?

If you are planning a renovation or want to apply for grants, we can prepare an energy efficiency study comparing different solutions (insulation, windows, building services) with their estimated savings. And if the building needs a comprehensive intervention, we draw up the project for façade and roof refurbishment.

We tell you how to improve the rating

We propose improvements ranked by cost and effect and, if you wish, turn them into an energy efficiency study.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about the energy performance certificate in Barcelona

From €125 + VAT for a home in Barcelona, plus the ICAEN registration fee (€12.90 for a house or flat). It depends on the type of property, its floor area and location. It includes the site visit, the calculation, ICAEN registration and improvement recommendations. Our online quote gives it to you instantly.

It depends on when we can visit the property and on the documents available. For urgent jobs we can deliver the documents to the authorities within 24–48 hours, but please check availability with us first: it depends on our workload. We then register it with ICAEN, which usually issues the official label within a few working days; until then, the registration receipt is valid.

Yes. Royal Decree 390/2021 (art. 6.2) allows the certificate for a dwelling to be based on a single certificate for the whole building. It must be valid and registered with ICAEN. A copy of the registered certificate and the label is attached to the contract; the property administrator can provide them.

The building certificate is cheaper per flat and covers every flat, but they all share the same rating. If your flat has its own improvements (new windows, insulation, a different boiler), an individual certificate may give it a better rating. Tell us about your case and we will tell you which option suits you.

The certificate gives the official rating and is mandatory for selling or letting. The study compares improvement options (insulation, windows, building services) with their savings and cost, and helps you decide on a renovation or apply for grants. We explain it in What is an energy efficiency study.

You must give it to the buyer or tenant, and the label must appear in the listings. Without it, the transaction is delayed and the authorities can impose a penalty.
