In the case of extensions and expansions as well as certain changes to buildings, the building owner must provide evidence of compliance with the requirements of the GEG. Proof of compliance with the requirements is provided in the declaration of compliance (Section 92 (2) GEG). The declaration of compliance must be submitted within 3 months of completion of the construction project.

								    

									    Requirements
You must confirm that the requirements of the Building Energy Act (GEG) are met when extending, expanding or modifying the building if you extend or expand the building to include heated or cooled rooms (Section 51 GEG).
