Proof of Energy Certificate Search (Comprovativo de Consulta do Certificado Energético)

Record of a search in the Energy Certification System (ADENE) to check whether a property has a certificate. It is not the certificate itself.

What it is for

Keep the result of an initial check in the SCE.
Check whether the certificate found really belongs to the property in question.
Find out whether you need to ask the owner for the certificate or hire an expert.

Example (fictitious). In a building with several units, Titus Gorila finds a result and compares the unit and the details in the property register extract before saving it, so as not to attach the neighbour's certificate.

What it is

This proof records the result of a search carried out in the Building Energy Certification System (Sistema de Certificação Energética dos Edifícios), managed by ADENE. The search is based on the property details or on the number of a document already registered. It is not the original energy certificate, nor does it create a new one, and having the property register extract (caderneta predial) does not guarantee that a valid certificate exists.

How we collect it

This request requires the property register extract (caderneta predial) of the property to be included in the same order, because we use its details to search the SCE. No password is needed; we deliver a proof with an image of the search result.

Things to note

It does not replace the energy certificate: if you need the original, ask the owner or the expert who issued it. Always confirm that the result corresponds to the correct property.

Frequently asked questions

Will this search give me an energy certificate?

No. Issuing one requires a certification process with a qualified expert.

If I have the property register extract, does the property have a certificate?

Not necessarily. The extract is used to identify the property, but whether a certificate exists has to be checked in the SCE.
