Confused about your building’s energy performance? Here’s how to understand Europe’s new labels

Europe is transitioning to a new energy label system to make it easier for people looking at homes across the continent to compare energy efficiency. The new labels will replace the old scales, causing a temporary confusion as both systems coexist for a few years. This change aims to provide clearer, more consistent information to help buyers and renters make informed decisions about energy use and costs. The new labels are part of broader efforts to promote sustainability and reduce carbon emissions in the building sector.
