2006), the ESA defines rules and methods for verifying the effective implementation these regulations for new buildings as well as at a later stage, the buildings already constructed. Regulation Characteristics of Thermal Performance of Buildings (RCCTE) came to establish quality requirements for new dwellings and small services without air-conditioning systems, particularly in terms of the characteristics of the environment (walls, windows, floors and roofs), limiting heat loss and controlling excessive solar gains. This regulation imposes limits on home energy consumption for air conditioning and hot water production: a clear incentive to use efficient systems and energy sources with less impact in terms of primary energy consumption. The new legislation also provides for the compulsory installation of solar collectors and values the use of other renewable energy sources in determining the building's energy performance. Regulation of Energy Systems for Climate in Buildings (RSECE) also came to define a set of requirements for office buildings and housing equipped with air-conditioning systems, which, in addition to the quality aspects of the environment and limiting energy consumption, cover the efficiency and maintenance of HVAC systems in buildings, forcing also the conduct of periodic audits of the buildings services. In this Regulation, the indoor air quality also comes with requirements covering renewal rates indoor air spaces and the maximum concentration of major pollutants.

The application of these regulations is checked at various stages throughout the lifetime of a building, but that verification carried out by suitably qualified experts for this purpose. These are agents that, in practice, along with ADENE will ensure the operability of the SCE. The most visible aspect of this work will be the Certificate of Energy and Indoor Air Quality issued by an expert in each building, where it will be ranked according to their performance on a scale of nine predefined classes (A + G). The issuance of the certificate by the expert will be conducted through a support computer system created for this purpose, where they constitute a central register of certified buildings Decree-Law 80/2006 of April 4, Rules of the Characteristics of Thermal Performance of Buildings (RCCTE) establishes quality requirements for new residential buildings and small service buildings without HVAC systems, particularly in terms of characteristics the environment by limiting heat loss and controlling excessive solar gains. This regulation imposes limits on energy consumption for air conditioning and hot water production: a clear incentive to use efficient systems and energy sources with less impact in terms of primary energy. This legislation requires the installation of solar panels and values the use of other renewable energy sources.

Project Implementation Thermal Verification for buildings or fractions (application of the Building regulations) with heating power and / or cooling, per fraction less than 25Kw. Projects will only be delivered to customers after their "certification" (DCR - Statement of Regulatory Compliance). Service provided throughout the national territory. - We provide all the procedures in order to carry out Energy Certification of buildings or units, with heating power and / or cooling, per fraction, less than 25Kw. 2.1 - At what times is a building subject to regulatory verification? Put simply, the verification regulatory demands for new buildings or major rehabilitation interventions: 1 - Statement of Regulatory Compliance (DCR) - Licensing - construction License: a) Statement of compliance with the Building regulations and terms of responsibility for the project. b) Statement of compliance regulations (DCR) subscribed by Qualified Expert under the ESA. 2 - Completion of the Work - Energy Certification - Use License: a) Disclaimer technician responsible for the technical direction of the work, declaring the fulfillment of the project. b) Energy Certificate, issued by ADENE and responsibility of Qualified Expert under the ESA. In more detail, in the case of new buildings, the first time to verify the implementation of RCCTE is during the design phase, including before the application or authorization of the building permit. In designing the project, the designer should, therefore, to observe the implementation of the regulation and the calculations, checking compliance with the minimum requirements and filling out the forms necessary for the licensing process. This work should then be checked by a qualified expert (who may be the designer himself) in the energy certification system (ECS), to testify (or not) regulatory compliance and to propose ways to improve performance building, sending (or not) the respective declaration of regulatory compliance. The forms, worksheets, elements and statements (including the statement of regulatory compliance) should integrate the file forwarded to the licensor. After completion of the work and request for authorization or license to use, the building will again be reviewed by a qualified expert, this time to verify the work and any changes comply with the Building regulations.

After verification of compliance with the regulation of work and final draft, the expert shall deliver its Energy Certificate, which should include the documentation for the license application for use to deliver to the licensing entity (usually the town hall). Should also be noted that, in situations where an existing building is subject to a large rehabilitation or expansion is subject to, should also be room to check regulate the latter case only for the area of magnification. The timing of the implementation of the ESA is defined in Decree 461/2007 of June 5. 2.2 - What is and what part arises and the ESA? The National Energy Certification and Indoor Air Quality in Buildings (SCE) falls within the scope of Directive No 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 2002, regarding the performance of buildings. This Directive provides that Member States of the European Union should implement an energy certification system in order to inform citizens about the thermal quality of buildings at manufacture, sale or lease of the same, also requiring that the certification system also covers all major public buildings and buildings frequently visited by the public. According to the Directive, the energy certification should enable future users to obtain information on energy consumption potential in the case of new buildings or if existing buildings undergoing major rehabilitation interventions, or their actual consumption patterns measured for typical usage, from the criterion of energy costs, during normal operation of the building, integrating all the other aspects important to characterize the building. In addition to the Directive, the SCE is to give expression to one of the measures contemplated in the Council of Ministers Resolution No. 169/2005 of 24 October, approving the national strategy for energy, as regards the policy guideline on efficiency energy. Falls into one of the measures envisaged in the National Programme for Change / Climate Energy Certification. 2.3 - What is the Energy Certificate? The Energy Performance Certificate is intended to: - For residential buildings, inform the owners, buyers and tenants on energy efficiency and energy consumption expected in normal usage of the building and improvement measures of performance, economic viability, which the owner can implement to reduce their energy costs; - For office buildings, and to provide information about the building's energy performance, ensure that the building users to meet the conditions to ensure adequate indoor air quality. This is particularly relevant in an initiative to combat climate change, contributing to a greater rationalization of energy consumption in buildings and to pursue measures of the National Programme for Climate Change, "Energy Efficiency in Buildings', which is given by the impulse to comply with the Regulations relating to HVAC and Energy Systems for Buildings - RSECE and Characteristics of Thermal Behavior of Buildings - Building regulations. The measures provided for in this Decree-Law materialize with regard to buildings, the policy guidelines on energy efficiency assumed in the National Strategy for Energy. 2.4 - What is the difference between a declaration of regulatory compliance and an energy certificate? These are identical documents with the same format and structure, but completed and issued at different times of the licensing process of a building or condominium unit. The statement of regulatory compliance (DOR) is a kind of "pre-certificate" issued during the process of licensing or authorization of construction and in which the qualified expert notes the outcome of its review of available design elements in this phase. The energy certificate and indoor air quality (EC) itself arises only, and is necessary in the context of application for a license or authorization to use the property. In practice corresponds to an update of the DOR based on evidence gathered by the expert (s) visit (s) it has made to the building during construction at the end of it. 2.5 - When do I need the services of certificacaoenergetica.com? 1 - Once you have approved the architectural design of the project and need heat, as well as its Statement of Regulatory Compliance, which will be issued by ADENE, in order to complete the examination process at City Hall, and raise the building permit / extension / remodeling. 2 - When your work done and require the Energy Performance Certificate and Indoor Air Quality, to be issued by ADENE in order to get a license for use of your property. 3 - As from 01.01.2009, it is mandatory to have the Certificate of Energy Performance and Indoor Air Quality, issued by ADENE in order to sell or rent your property. 4 - When the Energy Performance Certificate and Interior Air Quality of your property is out of date. 2.6 - What items / information must contain the procedures for application for issuance of license or authorization to construct and license to use? In the permit application / building permit must be submitted the following documents: 1 - Map of nominal values for the building, including all elements associated with all units of the building. 2 - "Survey dimensional" for each unit. If two or more units (FA) exactly equal, it is sufficient to make a form for each group of FA equals. 3 - "Proof of satisfaction of minimum requirements for condominium unit." Alternatively, you can undergo a single sheet common to all Units of the same building. In this form must be attached to construction details that define all the situations of thermal bridge. Spreadsheets FCIV and FCV (Annexes IV and V of the Building regulations) for each unit. Statement of professional recognition, by the designer for the application of RCCTE statement issued by the Chamber of Architects, the Engineers or the National Association of Technical Engineers Terms of responsibility of the technician responsible for the project, pursuant to subparagraph e) of paragraph 2 of Article 12 of the Building regulations. Regulatory compliance statement signed by a qualified expert in the SCE pursuant to subparagraph f) of paragraph 2 of Article 12 of the Building regulations. The request for use license must be submitted the following documents: "Demonstration of regulatory compliance" Disclaimer technician responsible for the technical direction of the work Statement of professional recognition, the technician responsible for the construction of the building, issued by the respective professional association. Energy Certificate issued by a qualified expert under the ESA, according to Article 12, paragraph 3. The documents under the Energy Certification System (ECS), including the statement of regulatory compliance and energy certificate should only be made after entry into force of that system, as indicated in the Ordinance to publish their timetable. 2.7 - What information does an Energy Certificate? This is a document that clearly encoded quantifies the energy performance and described the air quality inside a building or condominium unit. The certificate is issued by a qualified expert under the ESA during the process of applying for a permit or authorization for use of a building or in the case of existing buildings covered by RSEOE, following periodic audits to energy consumption and / or qaulidade indoor air. During the procedure of licensing or authorization to construct a building, the expert does not issue an energy certificate but rather a statement of regulatory compliance, in practice, corresponds to a "pre-certified", since it has an identical format and same type of information that a certificate. The Energy Certificate contains various information such as the identification of the property and the FP, label energy performance certificate validity, brief description of the property, description of methods adopted, regulatory reference values (so that consumers can compare and evaluate the of the building), abstract / summary of any proposed improvement measures, among other fields that are specific to the building in question. 2.8 - Energy Certification System The National Energy Certification and Indoor Air Quality in Buildings (SCE) is one of the three pillars upon which the new legislation on energy efficiency of buildings in Portugal. The system at issue, promulgated by Decree Law 78/2006, allows Portugal to position itself among the top five countries to transpose Directive 2002/91/EC No Energy Performance of Buildings. The Certificate to be granted by the building or building unit residential / services, to: - Create a label for energy performance standard for buildings; - List steps to improve energy performance; - To promote energy savings of 20% to 40% in buildings and consequent reductions in CO 2 emissions The energy label will sort the units or residential services in an efficient scale ranging from A + (energy efficient) to G (low efficiency), and will be similar to that for other equipment, allowing for easy reading by consumer. The system works in conjunction with two rules applied in construction, the Building regulations (Regulation Characteristics of Thermal Performance of Buildings) and RSECE (Regulation of Energy Systems for Climate in Buildings). The RCCTE defines quality requirements for new dwellings and small services without air-conditioning systems, including the level of wall insulation and floor coverings and type of glass surfaces, limiting heat loss and controlling excessive solar gains. To impose limits on the energy needs for air conditioning and hot water production, with the compulsory installation of solar energy systems and enhancing the use of other renewable energy sources. The HVAC regulations applicable to service buildings and housing equipped with air-conditioning systems, defines requirements which include, in addition to the quality of the environment, efficiency and maintenance of HVAC systems, the requirement for periodic inspections and audits and quality assurance indoor air. The application of these regulations is checked at various stages throughout the lifetime of a building, being carried out by qualified experts, such as the Certification Energética.com These are agents that, in practice, along with ADENE will ensure the operational system. The supervision will be the Directorate General of Geology and Energy and the Environment Institute. The issuance of the Certificate of Approval Energética.com by experts, will be run through a computer support portal created for the purpose by ADENE and where it is a national register of certified buildings. DIAGNOSIS REAL ESTATE, PROPERTY SURVEY, TECHNICAL EXPERTISE WHY A REAL ESTATE DIAGNOSIS? The acquisition of a property is possibly the largest investment an individual, it pays to know the actual condition of the property, so you can make the purchase with more information, objectively and impartially. The claim of deficiencies and defects in construction or rehabilitation, must be reported in writing within a maximum of one year, provided they are able to be detected in the respective period and must be denounced and claimed as a guarantee in writing within a maximum of 5 years. The efficiency and effectiveness of the complaints are higher the greater the accuracy and reliability of the technique in filing a complaint or report. With Home Survey is possible to do a check-up the property through a set of diagnostics that are typed in all evaluated parameters relevant to the "health" of a property, including: - Thermal and acoustic insulation; - Water and sewage; - Networks of gas and electricity; - Structures; - HVAC; - Other, as the property in question or request in advance.
