12/06/20167 © 2010, VITO NV Targets »For new buildings Obligation for energy performance according to EPBD »For existing buildings: Energy renovation programme 2020 – no energy wasting dwellings Each dwelling has roof and floor insulation Existing single glazing -> improved double glazing Efficiency of central heating >= 90 % Support for: Outside insulation of exterior walls Hollow wall insulation Replacement of electrical heating (no heat pumps)

12/06/20168 © 2010, VITO NV Policy - Energy performance of buildings implementation in Flanders »EPC for residential existing buildings ongoing since nov 2008 »Mandatory for dwellings “for sale” & “for rent” »Certificates collected at a central server by VEA (Flemish energy Agency) »+/ EPC’s collected in one year »Different procedure & software as for EPB on new buildings & renovations
