Request an energy label for your rental home

What is an NTA 8800 energy label?

NTA 8800 is the Dutch method for determining a building’s energy performance. The adviser records insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and renewable generation. The label uses standardised occupancy assumptions: it does not predict an individual tenant’s energy bill.

Who can issue the label?

A qualified energy-performance adviser works under a certified company and registers the label in EP-online. A self-assessment or calculator result is not an official energy label. Check the registration and expiry date, even if you already hold a label report.

Basic survey, detailed survey and tailored advice

A basic survey collects the data needed for an existing building. A detailed survey uses more detailed evidence; it is not the same as tailored advice. Tailored advice investigates measures and scenarios for your particular home. A label records existing performance; advice supports improvement decisions.

Energy label and WWS points: 2026 table

General energy-performance table for self-contained homes with a label issued from 1 January 2021. Single-family and multi-family homes receive different points. The label alone does not determine the maximum rent: all rubrics and the rules applicable to the contract matter.

An energy index issued before 2021 uses a different table. Without a valid label or index the construction year determines the energy points. Listed national, provincial and municipal monuments do not receive negative energy points for E, F or G. Confirm the label date and monument status using the official policy book. Room rentals use the separate WWSO rules.

Fictitious example: an apartment improves from F to B

An apartment of at least 40 m² with no monument status improves from F (−9) to B (30): a gain of 39 energy points. Assume 110 other points, unchanged and without a WOZ-cap effect: the total rises from 101 to 140. In the January 2026 table this corresponds to € 644,53 versus € 912,26 monthly basic rent. This is not a client case or permission to increase an existing rent.

Label D in 2029: check the legal status

On 10 July 2026 the government submitted a draft decree to both Houses of Parliament: rental homes with labels E, F or G would need at least label D by 1 January 2029. The source describes parliamentary scrutiny followed by Council of State advice; this is proposed legislation, not a final obligation confirmed by us. Check the final decree, exceptions and commencement before investing.

Validity: 10 years, not an automatic update after renovation

An energy label is valid for 10 years from the survey date; EP-online records the expiry date. Insulation or a new installation does not automatically change the registered label. After relevant improvements, consider a new survey and registration. An expired label cannot be supplied as a valid label when entering a new letting.

Process and turnaround

Request a quote, share the property details and gather drawings and evidence of insulation and installations. We agree the assignment and arrange the on-site survey. Your report follows within 5 working days after a complete survey and file. We contact you within 1 working day of your request.
