GEG certificates Bergheim Business Park
In June 2024, Phase 5 International commissioned LIST Eco to prepare GEG certifications for five commercial buildings. These are part of the planned construction of a business park in Bergheim, which is to be developed on behalf of Metroloq Projektentwicklung GmbH. The halls have usable floor areas (GFA E00) of approximately 1,390, 3,540, 885, 515, and 1,020 square meters, respectively.
The contracted services for preparing the GEG verifications for the halls include the following for each hall: an energy balance analysis in accordance with DIN V 18599, verification of summer thermal insulation through thermal simulation in accordance with DIN 4108-2, and the creation of a component catalog for all components of the building envelope. The aforementioned services and certifications were prepared based on the approval plans. According to the North Rhine-Westphalia Building Code, GEG certifications are structural engineering certifications that must be submitted to the building authority no later than the start of construction. As part of the certification process, it is verified whether the requirements of the GEG and other structural engineering regulations regarding primary energy demand, minimum thermal insulation, and the use of renewable energies are met.
The GEG certification:
The GEG certification is a mandatory component of every new construction or renovation project and confirms that a building meets the energy requirements of the Building Energy Act (GEG). It forms the basis for the issuance of the building permit and provides planning certainty regarding compliance with the requirements for primary energy demand, thermal insulation, and the use of renewable energies. At the same time, the certificate is an important prerequisite for applying for government subsidies, such as under the Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG). Furthermore, a GEG-compliant building contributes significantly to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, thereby fulfilling key criteria of sustainable construction. The GEG certificate thus combines legal requirements with environmental responsibility and economic efficiency.
