Avoid future problems.

The topographic survey is usually the first step to take when it comes to architectural projects. It is this process that makes it possible to identify all the characteristics of a land, ensuring that the entire project is carried out correctly, without errors or serious accidents.

According to the Urban Regulation published in the Diário da República of February 22, 2016, the topographic survey is mandatory for any implementation of urban planning operations, and must respect the rules set out in the same regulation.

If you are thinking of buying land or building a house on your own land, you must ensure that the topographic survey is carried out. If you need, we are happy to carry out the topographic survey of your land, ensuring that your project meets its characteristics.

Energetic certification

Teresa Ledo Arquitectos produces Energy Certificates for residential, commercial and service buildings.

The Energy Certificate of a building/autonomous fraction of housing, commerce and services, is a document issued within the scope of the National Energy Certification System (SCE) that classifies each property in terms of its energy performance and is classified according to a pre-defined scale. In this analysis, a series of parameters are analyzed, ranging from thermal surroundings, solar orientation, areas in contact with the outside and with non-useful spaces, air conditioning and DHW production equipment.

Energy Certificates can only be issued by experts duly certified by ADENE, the managing body of the Building Energy Certification System. The Energy Certification of buildings allows characterizing their thermal and energy performance, being a mandatory process in the conclusion of contracts of sale or lease of real estate, as well as in the promotion of these with the promoters and intermediaries. In the event of non-compliance, the fines can range from €250.00 to €3,740.00 in the case of singular person and from €2,500.00 to €44,890.00 in the case of collective groups.

How does Energy Certification work?

• Scheduling the visit
• Visit to the property for data collection and collection of all necessary documents

The energy certificate can be applied to existing buildings or to new buildings, with different characteristics and needs.

Existing Buildings
In existing buildings, the energy certificate provides information on measures to improve energy performance and indoor air quality, with economic viability, that the owner can implement to reduce their energy costs and simultaneously improve the energy efficiency of the property.

New Buildings
Energy certification makes it possible to prove the correct application of the thermal regulations and indoor air quality in force for the building, namely the obligation to install renewable energy systems, as well as obtain information on their energy performance.
