Three regions, three rulebooks. One scan.
We deliver floor plans in Belgium today. Brussels has had a legal definition of habitable area since 1 January 2025, and every region requires an energy certificate to sell or let. We are building EPC geometry support for energiedeskundigen and certificateurs PEB. Register your interest.
Where the area and the label come from.
Area definitions in Belgium differ by region and by purpose: a rent register in Brussels is not measured like an EPC in Flanders.
Bewoonbare oppervlakte · superficie habitable
Floor area of the living rooms inside the dwelling with at least 2.1 m clear height under a flat ceiling or 1.5 m under a sloped one, measured to the inner perimeter; stairwells, attics, cellars and garages excluded.
Energieprestatiecertificaat
Required on sale and rent, made by an energiedeskundige type A in the government software. Homes bought with label E or F must reach label D within six years.
Certificat PEB
Required to sell or let; made by an approved certificateur after a visit, in the regional software. Every sale or rental ad must show the certificate’s indicators.
Rules that change the figure.
Brussels habitable area
Under a horizontal ceiling only floor with at least 2.1 m clear height counts as habitable.
Brussels habitable area
Under a sloped ceiling or roof the threshold is 1.5 m.
Fixed elements out
Measured between the inner faces; built-in cupboards and kitchen units are not part of the habitable area.
6 years after purchase
Buyers of homes with label E or F must renovate to label D or better within six years.

EPC geometry for Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia
Areas, envelope and openings from one scan, per region’s protocol. Pilot partners shape it and get it first.
Rules move. Reports follow.
Flanders relaxes the renovation obligation
The term to renovate after purchase rose from five to six years, for current and new transfers, and the planned tightening from 2028 was dropped. The obligation stays at label D.
