Reliable energy efficiency insights empower businesses and public services to optimize decisions and improve sustainability. Belmap introduces its new Energy Performance module, providing estimates for every residential building in Belgium.

How does it work?

The module assesses a building’s energy efficiency by comparing its characteristics  with those from reference buildings whose energy efficiency is known. The comparison considers building characteristics such as building age, typology, use, solar panel presence and the region the building is located in.

Based on the Belmap characteristics, an estimated Energy Score is generated, which quantifies annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m²/year). More efficient buildings receive lower scores, while energy-intensive ones rank higher. This score is then converted into an Energy Label (A++++ to G), aligned with EPC classifications in Flanders, PEB in Wallonia, and PEB/EPB in Brussels.

Both the Energy Score and Energy Label are available for all residential and main buildings in Belgium.

Why use this module?

• Sustainability policies (ESG): Supports environmental impact assessments and energy efficiency planning.
• Insurance and risk assessment: Helps insurers refine risk models based on energy profiles.
• Retrofitting and renovation projects: Identifies buildings needing energy upgrades.
• Real estate valuation: Provides an objective measure of energy performance for property assessments.
