The Green Power Group has made an application available free of charge to find out what the energy class of your home is. It is the "Energy Class Tester", or rather how to understand if and at what level the house we want to sell or rent, or simply the one we live in and on which we want to make some eco-sustainable changes, is efficient from the point of view of energy saving.

Sustainable construction: the energy certification of homes has become a determining factor that also affects the buying and selling of real estate or renting, so much so that in recent times professions of energy certifiers have been born precisely to issue certificates. From today, however, it is possible to calculate the efficiency of your home with an app.
The energy performance certificate has in fact become a mandatory document for those who want to sell or rent a house or simply want to get some tax benefits in the case of works by renovation. So much so that we can talk about sustainable building (or ecological building) only for those buildings which, due to design choices, type of materials and systems, guarantee a high certified energy saving.
The role of energy certification has in fact assumed a key position in the new paradigm of sustainable construction. For example, theuse of clean energy for heating and cooling of homes and buildings in general is the main parameter for identifying sustainable construction.
Knowing what the energy class of your home is therefore also becomes essential to evaluate any improvements to be made to the house to save on the bill. From today it is possible to do it directly from your mobile phone or tablet thanks to the app "Energy Class Tester"Launched by Green Power Group.
Certainly the application does not legally replace the certificates and the work of the energy certifier, but it allows us to understand what class corresponds to the house we want to sell or rent, or simply the one we live in and on which we want to make some eco-sustainable changes , if it is energy efficient and if it is in line with the current energy requirements.
Available for iPhone and Android devices, the app allows us to "measure the efficiency of the house" by answering some questions about the characteristics of the house (such as the square footage and construction materials used) and the related energy consumption. Once the various fields have been filled in, the application will be able to provide fast and reliable data on the energy class.
In short, this app allows you to take the first step for free to find out how “green” your home is and how far you need to go to make it truly energy efficient. Of course it will not have the legal validity of the certificate issued by a professional, but it will be able to make us realize how implement the efficiency of our home to consume less.
