It 'an instrument of control to improve the energy performance of buildings during the design and realization and an information tool by the buyer at the time of' purchase or rental of 'property. More precisely be called Energy Certificate (ACE) in order not to confuse it with the 'Qualification Certificate for Energy (AQE)
The 'Energy Performance Certificate
When the energy certification should be done?
Under current legislation, in particular the DM 26/06/2009 (National guidelines for energy certification of buildings) in accordance with Directive 2002/91/EC of the ACE is to be made after July 1, 2009 if the sale of property and from 1 July 2010 in the case of onerous lease.

How much does it cost?
The cost of an energy certificate is about 300 € for a 'home media. The professional to draw up the document needs 2-3 working days after the inspection.
Difference between ACE (energy performance certificate) and AQE (energy efficiency certification)
A first important difference is the person who prepares the document: L 'AQE can be prepared by the designer or construction manager, then by a qualified technician also involved in the work. It is issued by the manufacturer and delivered to the municipality along with the documentation for the issue of a declaration of completion of work.
