Energy audit of buildings

An energy review of a building is a comprehensive analysis of the consumption and costs of energy. It consists of a series of tests and measurements with which energy efficiency of a building is established.

An energy audit includes the production of energy certificates and reviews of air-conditioning and heating systems.

Energy certificates are issued by authorised legal entities or individuals. The competent authority authorises a legal entity or an individual who has entered the activity of designing or technical counselling in the court register of legal entities or the Slovenian Business Register and who has ensured the participation of at least one independent expert for the production of energy certificates.

Production of energy certificates and reviews of air-conditioning and heating systems can only be performed by trained experts from the particular field.
