Energy class in Sweden (EPC)
Official certificate: EPC
Sweden uses the EPC certificate to classify the energy performance of buildings.
The scale is relative: thresholds are expressed as a ratio to a reference building.
Official EPC scale
| Class | Max EP ratio |
|---|---|
| A | ≤ 0.50 |
| B | ≤ 0.75 |
| C | ≤ 1.00 |
| D | ≤ 1.35 |
| E | ≤ 1.80 |
| F | ≤ 2.35 |
| G | ∞ |
How the estimate works in Sweden
In Sweden, the class is based on the ratio between the estimated energy consumption and that of a standard reference building. This method is called relative or ratio-based.
Data available for 1,021 local climate zones in Sweden.
