AN ENERGY Efficiency Certificate must be obtained by the owner before a property is marketed or advertised, as defined in the articles of the Royal Decree, "The label (graph) will be included in any offer, promotion and advertising to the sale or lease of the building or building unit. The label should always appear, clearly and unequivocally".
Our architect is a certified EEC assessor. The assessor will need to visit your property to carry out a survey. The survey will involve an assessment of the type and age of the property, building materials that are used, windows and insulation. The energy efficiency of the building is then assessed taking into account the energy consumption considered necessary to meet the energy demand of the building under normal conditions, which includes the energy consumed in heating, refrigeration, ventilation, lighting and the production of hot water.
The assessor will also need to see a copy of a SUMA bill and the Escritura or Simpla to extract some information about the property and the owner. The referencia catastral (reference number of the Catastro) is also needed in order to issue the EEC. It normally appears on a SUMA bill.

Once the survey is complete it takes a few days to produce the certificate and register it with AVEN (Agencia Valenciana de la Energía), which is the agency responsible for Certificado de Eficiencia Energética inspection and control in the region of Valencia. The region of Murcia has a its own agency.
Failure to obtain an EEC is an offense under consumer protection law and is punishable according to the General Law on Protection of Consumers and Users and statutory rules. Policing the law will fall to the Autonomous Regions. Failure to comply should only be considered at the owners own risk.
