WRITE [005] WORK LICENSES AND CERTIFICATE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT

Shortly after the entry into force of Decree 47/2007 on approving the basic method for the energy performance of new buildings, and then also the transitional period it is set The City Council granted a license to a project that does not include a certificate for energy efficiency.
1. Should be required for the certificate of energy efficiency building as a condition for obtaining the license of first use?
2. Can the City Council or merely require the developer to remember that such certificate must be incorporated into the book building?

Pere-Joan Torrent Riberto. Advocate
1. To the first question should be answered in the negative. To obtain a license from 1 st occupation not only should not be required certification of energy efficiency, but can not be required, since not requested at the time of granting planning permission. Contrary to what some believe, the 1st occupation license is not a procedure to correct errors who committed the City Council at the time of granting planning permission. The 1 st occupation license should be given after verification that the works comply with the project served to grant permission. Mistakes made in the first can not be cured of coercively in the second.
2. To the second question, I would answer in the affirmative. The City Council should remember the developer to such a certificate should be incorporated into the book building.
