Energy performance is an increasingly important consideration in the Dutch real estate market, driven by national regulation, EU energy policy, and investor-led sustainability requirements. Partner provides Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) services across the Netherlands, supporting property owners, investors, and occupiers in assessing energy efficiency and meeting applicable regulatory obligations.
An EPC provides a standardised assessment of a building’s energy performance and associated emissions, assigning an efficiency rating and identifying opportunities to improve performance. EPCs are commonly required in connection with property transactions, leasing activity, and development or refurbishment projects, and form an important input into wider ESG and sustainability strategies.
EPC Assessments in the Netherlands
Partner undertakes EPC assessments in line with Dutch implementing legislation and relevant EU directives, ensuring certificates are compliant, accurate, and suitable for transaction, leasing, and asset management purposes.
EPC assessments typically consider:
• Building fabric and thermal performance
• Heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems
• Lighting and energy consumption characteristics
• Overall operational energy efficiency
The resulting certificate provides a clear summary of current energy performance and highlights recommended measures to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
EPC Advisory and Improvement Planning
Beyond certification, Partner supports clients in understanding the practical implications of EPC results, particularly where energy performance may influence asset value, leasing strategy, or compliance considerations.
Where required, Partner can provide advisory support to identify improvement measures, assess feasibility, and align energy upgrades with broader sustainability and ESG objectives.
Integration with ESG and Technical Services
EPC services in the Netherlands are delivered as part of Partner’s wider energy, ESG, and technical advisory offering, allowing energy performance to be considered alongside:
• ESG benchmarking and reporting
• Carbon reduction planning
• Building condition and lifecycle considerations
• Refurbishment and capital expenditure planning
This integrated approach ensures energy performance is evaluated within the wider context of asset strategy and long-term value.
Asset Coverage
Partner provides EPC services across the Netherlands for a wide range of asset types, including commercial, industrial, logistics, mixed-use, residential, and development assets.
