Free webinar "Getting started with energy performance 2.0"

The NTA 8800 determination method will come into effect on 1 January 2021. From that moment on, permit applications for all new buildings to be built must meet the requirements for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB). In addition, from 1 January 2021, the energy label will be determined on the basis of NTA 8800. What do these changes mean in practice for quality assurance, recording protocols and the energy label? On October 13, NEN is organizing a free webinar about the new energy performance of buildings from 10.00 to 11.45. For more information and registration click here.
