HVAC system over 290

Indicates whether the building has an effective heating, cooling, or ventilation (HVAC) system with a capacity over 290 kW

NZEB status

Indicates whether the building is a nearly zero-energy building (NZEB), meaning it has very high energy performance and requires minimal energy for operations, mostly from renewable sources. It meets national NZEB thresholds under EU Directive 2010/31/EU

Building not dedicated to fossil fuel

Indicates whether the building is not used for fossil fuel extraction, storage, transport, or manufacturing. This supports the 'Do No Significant Harm' principle in the EU Taxonomy and aligns with SFDR adverse impact indicators

Air tightness testing

Indicates whether the building has an air-tightness testing process implemented. This verifies the building envelope’s ability to prevent air leakage, which is essential for energy efficiency

Thermal integrity testing

Indicates whether the building has thermal integrity testing implemented to assess insulation performance and minimize heat loss. This supports compliance with EU Taxonomy criteria for climate change mitigation

Quality control process

Indicates whether the building has a documented quality control process to ensure construction quality, especially thermal performance. This process can substitute for thermal integrity testing under EU Taxonomy if it is robust and traceable

Global warming potential

Indicates whether a Global Warming Potential (GWP) assessment has been conducted for the building. This measures total greenhouse gas emissions over the building’s life cycle. Disclosure of GWP is mandatory under EU Taxonomy for large buildings (area > 5,000 m²).

Number of energy rating certificates

Total number of valid EPCs available for the building

Energy class

Represents the building’s energy efficiency rating class (e.g., A+++ to G). Higher classes (A or B) are often required for EU Taxonomy alignment and are favorable under SFDR

Certificate type

Type of Certificate e.g: LEED, BREEAM, DGNB

Reporting type/assessment level

Specifies how EPC data is reported - whether the EPC is based on energy consumption or energy demand

Object type

Specifies the object the EPC applies to - whether it covers the entire building or only part of it. This is important for understanding the scope of energy performance data

Status

Indicates whether the EPC is valid, expired, or requires recertification. Only valid EPCs are considered for EU Taxonomy and SFDR disclosures

Energy reference area

Indicates the associated area (in m²) used to calculate the energy rating. This usually represents the conditioned/heated area and differs from gross floor area or gross internal area. Ensures consistency and comparability of EPC results

Area

Shows the proportion of a building or portfolio area covered by valid Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). High coverage supports transparency and completeness in sustainability reporting

Area type

Specifies the type of available area in real estate, such as gross floor area, gross internal area, or energy reference area

Property type

Specifies the property type (e.g., residential, office, retail). This is the same as the primary building type from the Building Information section and is relevant for determining applicable energy performance thresholds under EU Taxonomy

Final energy demand

Represents the final energy value, which is the energy consumed at the building/end-user meter. Depending on the selected 'ReportingType', this value reflects either consumption or demand

Primary energy demand

Represents the primary energy value, which is the energy consumed at the source (raw fuel), including losses during generation, transmission, and distribution. Depending on the selected 'ReportingType', this value reflects either consumption or demand

Total energy efficiency

Compares the building’s calculated energy consumption to that of a standardized reference building. In Austrian Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), it is usually referred to as fGEE

Electricity

The final energy value for electricity. Depending on the selected 'ReportingType', this value indicates either consumption or demand

Heating

The final energy value for heating. Depending on the selected 'ReportingType', this value indicates either consumption or demand

Cooling

The final energy value for cooling. Depending on the selected 'ReportingType', this value indicates either consumption or demand

Carbon emission

Total carbon emission value

Heating source

Specifies the heating energy source (e.g., natural gas, electricity, biomass, district heating). Using fossil-free sources supports EU Taxonomy compliance and helps reduce negative SFDR impacts
