Energy performance (EPC)
Belgium's energy certificate runs from A++ (best) to G (worst). It matters commercially as well as environmentally, because Flanders obliges buyers of E and F rated homes to renovate within five years of purchase.
The green premium
Comparing asking prices across EPC bands naively would mostly restate geography and building age. Newer, greener stock sits in different places and costs more for reasons unrelated to energy. The figures below are computed within region, property class and construction era cells, each band measured against D rated stock in the same cell, then sample weighted across cells.
How the stock is rated
Share of certified listings for sale by band over time. About 12% of listings carry no certificate and are excluded, so the bands sum to 100%. A rising green share reflects both new construction and renovation of older stock.
