As part of the energy transition, the energy label requirement has been in place since Jan. 1, 2023. From that date, offices must carry a label of C or higher. See also this article by Jeroen Brinkman in which action on the part of the landlord is announced. This obligation proves difficult to implement in practice , especially for old and small offices. More than half of the offices have no label, but fines and enforcement are not (yet) forthcoming.
Do you have questions about the energy label requirement or have you received a letter from the municipality in which they want to take enforcement action? If so, please contact us. We will be happy to help you further.
