Estimated energy class: E — Apartment (middle floor) in Parma, 100 m²
Your 100 m² apartment in Parma, built between 1991 and 2005, has been assigned Energy Class E under the Italian APE system. The calculated energy performance is 143.3 kWh/m²·year and the associated CO₂ emissions are 27.7 kg CO₂/m²·year.
The rating is driven by several factors: the building envelope lacks wall and roof insulation, the windows are double‑glazed, and the heating system consists of a standard gas boiler supplied by natural gas. Parma falls in climate zone E with 2 502 degree‑days, which further influences the energy demand.
Within the local scale, Class E sits between the worst possible rating (Class F) and the best achievable rating for this property (Class D). Improving the envelope and the heating system can move the certificate toward the higher end of the scale.
Most likely class E, possible range D–F.

To raise the certificate, the first step is to install a heat pump, which can lift the class from E to D for an estimated investment of €8 000–€18 000. Advancing to Class C requires adding external wall insulation (cappotto), costing between €16 000 and €40 000. Reaching Class A1 involves replacing the windows with high‑performance units, with expenses ranging from €20 000 to €54 000. Finally, achieving Class A2 adds a 3 kWp photovoltaic system, with a price tag of €24 000–€61 500. Each intervention reduces the EP value and CO₂ output, bringing the home closer to the top of the energy‑performance scale.
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 −51% energyEP ~70 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 ~48 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 −74% energyEP ~37 kWh/m²·year
- + Replace the windows 4,000–14,000 € Double- or triple-glazed windows that stop draughts and heat loss from the windows.
-
A24 Class A2 −82% energyEP ~27 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.
