How to proceed
LENOZ certification
The certification covers 6 assessment categories (comprising 143 criteria):
- location: criteria relating to the location of the dwelling;
- social: criteria used to assess the social features of a multi-unit building and how the floor space is used;
- savings: criteria used to assess the energy costs for the dwelling;
- environment: criteria used to assess, among other things, the environmental impact of the building materials used;
- building and technical installations: criteria relating to the quality of the building and its technical installations;
- functional features: criteria used to assess the adequacy of the dwelling for its intended use.
The sustainability certificate is drawn up by the expert handling the file, and shows the building's sustainability classification:
- class 1: very high level of sustainability (4 LENOZ leaves), satisfying 85 % of the criteria;
- class 2: high level of sustainability (3 LENOZ leaves), satisfying 70 % of the criteria;
- class 3: good level of sustainability (2 LENOZ leaves), satisfying 55 % of the criteria;
- class 4: minimal sustainability (1 LENOZ leaf), satisfying 40 % of the criteria.
