Answers to the most common questions about the new energy certificate from 1 January 2027 — for owners, landlords, estate agents and property managers.
Since 29 July 2026 the Building Modernisation Act (GModG) applies with a new name and heating reform. The new energy-certificate type follows later: it is in Article 2 and applies from 1 January 2027 for every new issue.
Until the end of 2026, certificates are still issued under the interim rules. Details and timeline: GModG promulgated: the new energy certificate arrives on 1 January 2027.
Yes. A certificate issued before 1 January 2027 generally remains usable for its usual ten-year term. It does not become invalid on New Year’s Day.
Without a sale, letting or an expiring validity period, owners do not need to re-issue solely because of the GModG promulgation. You receive the new certificate type only when a new certificate is issued from 1 January 2027.
From 2027, the choice between a consumption certificate and a demand certificate remains only for buildings used exclusively for residential purposes. Even a small commercial share (shop, practice, office) rules out the consumption certificate — then a demand certificate is required.
For the consumption certificate you need annual consumption data differentiated by energy carrier over two years; the most recent period may be no more than 18 months old. More: Consumption certificate: new choice for all residential buildings.
What matters is the issue date, not the marketing year. If the notary appointment is still in 2026, a certificate under the interim rules is enough — and it remains usable afterwards for the usual term.
If the transaction moves to January 2027 or later and a new certificate is issued, the Article-2 format applies: extended mandatory disclosures, digital format and, for non-residential buildings, the new A–G scale. Whether you order now or wait until 2027 mainly depends on when the sale or letting is due.
Yes — from 1 January 2027 the presentation and issue duty also applies on lease renewal if no valid certificate is available. Landlords and tenants should check remaining validity and planned renewals early.
For new lettings the familiar duties remain: present at viewing at the latest and hand over to the tenant. A valid older certificate from 2026 or earlier still covers that.
From 2027 agents and marketers must run two listing logics in parallel — driven by the certificate’s issue date:
Mixing old and new metrics risks warning letters and fines. Practical details: GModG for estate agents.
From 1 January 2027, newly issued energy certificates are digital and machine-readable. Paper is only provided on request by the client or owner — not automatically for every interested party.
The presentation duty remains: by the viewing at the latest the content must be viewable — via screen/PDF, printout or a clearly visible display. Agents should have the file in the CRM before the first appointment.
Managers often oversee many units: from 2027 requirements rise for data quality (two annual periods, energy-carrier differentiation) and for distinguishing exclusive residential use versus mixed use or non-residential buildings.
Digital output and extended mandatory fields affect software and owner communication. Guidance: GModG for property managers.
For non-residential buildings the A to G scale arrives in 2027 (class A only for zero-emission buildings). For sale, letting, leasing or contract renewal a certificate based on an energy balance (demand certificate) is mandatory — without free choice.
For listed buildings the previous exemption ends: certificate, presentation and handover duties apply from 2027 as for other buildings. The residential scale A+ to H remains unchanged for homes — more in the A–G scale fact check.
