CECB Plus: certificate & advisory report
Cantonal Energy Certificate for Buildings: what is it?
Swiss cantons such as Fribourg, Vaud, Neuchâtel and Geneva require it when applying for Subsidies for renovation work! But why?
First of all, CECB Plus is the acronym for Certificat Énergétique Cantonal des Bâtiments Plus. The "Plus" is because it integrates and complements the basic CECB . While the CECB assesses and classifies your building on the basis of its current condition, the CECB Plus will give you recommendations on how best to renovate your building.
The options are tailored to your needs and can be combined with renovation models such as Minergie, HPE and THPE.
All the renovation options proposed in the report are costed, budgeted and subsidised.
The Advisory Report consists of approximately 30 pages plus appendices and is fully customised for your property.
Recommendations are included on how best to benefit from financial aid and tax deductions.
Thanks to CECB Plus, it is common to get better conditions for mortgages.
