Estimated energy class: E — Apartment (middle floor) in Cutro, 100 m²
Your apartment in Cutro has been assigned energy class E under the Italian APE EPC system, indicating a relatively high energy consumption compared with newer, better‑insulated homes.
The rating reflects several key characteristics: the building dates from before 1945, the walls and roof lack any insulation, the windows are single‑glazed, and the heating relies on a standard natural‑gas boiler. These factors, combined with the local climate zone C (1167 degree‑days), drive the energy performance index (EP) to 132.3 kWh/m² year.
With three occupants and a modest 0.3 kWp photovoltaic system, the dwelling’s CO₂ emissions are calculated at 25.9 kg CO₂/m² year, reinforcing the need for upgrades to lower both energy use and carbon footprint.
Most likely class E, possible range E–F.

To raise the class, start with the most cost‑effective step: installing a heat pump can move the rating to class D for an investment of €8 000–€18 000. Adding external wall insulation (cappotto) upgrades the building to class C, with costs ranging from €16 000 to €40 000. Further improvements to reach class A1 involve installing a 3 kWp photovoltaic system (≈€20 000–€47 500), while replacing the windows can push the rating to class A2 or A3, requiring €24 000–€75 500 depending on the target class.
How to climb a class
Not sure where to start? Here is how to raise your home's energy class, step by step. Each step builds on the previous one: reaching a class also requires the works from the earlier steps.
-
D1 Class D Start here −48% energyEP ~69 kWh/m²·year
- Install a heat pump 8,000–18,000 € Replaces the boiler with an efficient electric system: it heats, cools and uses less energy.
-
C2 Class C −67% energyEP ~43 kWh/m²·year
- + Insulate the walls (external insulation) 8,000–22,000 € External wall insulation covers the outer walls and cuts heat loss: warmer in winter, cooler in summer.
-
A13 Class A1 −77% energyEP ~31 kWh/m²·year
- + Photovoltaic system (3 kWp) 4,000–7,500 € Panels that generate electricity from the sun: they cut your grid use and your bill.
-
A24 Class A2 −82% energyEP ~23 kWh/m²·year
- + Replace the windows 4,000–14,000 € Double- or triple-glazed windows that stop draughts and heat loss from the windows.
-
A35 Class A3 −86% energyEP ~19 kWh/m²·year
- + Replace the windows 4,000–14,000 € Double- or triple-glazed windows that stop draughts and heat loss from the windows.
