## 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

Brussels · since 1 Jan 2025

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.

- Brussels Housing Code art. 2 §1 46°
- Lease registration · reference rent

### Energieprestatiecertificaat

Flanders · EPC

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.

- Valid up to 10 years
- Term raised from 5 to 6 years (12 Dec 2025)

### Certificat PEB

Wallonia · Brussels · 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.

- Valid 10 years
- Ads show PEB 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.

2.1 m (flat ceiling)

### Brussels habitable area

Under a sloped ceiling or roof the threshold is 1.5 m.

1.5 m (sloped ceiling)

### Fixed elements out

Measured between the inner faces; built-in cupboards and kitchen units are not part of the habitable area.

inner (perimeter)

### 6 years after purchase

Buyers of homes with label E or F must renovate to label D or better within six years.

## 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.
