RES-H building obligations
Updated: 19.02.2019
Grand Ducal decree of 23 July 2016 stipulates that from 1 January 2017 onwards, each new construction of buildings in Luxembourg must correspond to a building whose energy consumption is almost zero (NZEB = Nearly Zero Energy Building). In general, the NZEB corresponds to the AAA energy classes. (Art. 1, RGD du 23 juillet 2016). The regulation takes into consideration renewable energies used for heat and cooling purposes as well as for the production of sanitary hot water. This includes the use of biomass as well as solar, geothermal and aerothermal energy (Annex, RGD du 23 juillet 2016).
