| dc.description.abstract | In recent years, sustainable buildings that promote energy efficiency have become a major priority in
the development and construction industry, due to their potential environmental, economic, and
social benefits. Energy labels, which range from A (highly efficient) to G (highly inefficient), are used
to assess the energy efficiency of buildings. This study focuses on residential properties in the
Netherlands and aims to investigate the impact of energy labels on the sale price of buildings. By
exploring this impact we seek to understand the implications of energy label upgrades on the market
value of the houses. Public data provided by the Central Bureau of Statistics in the Netherlands,
along with dwellings data from an online real estate listings platform, were utilized for this study.
Our findings demonstrate that a house's energy label influences its sell price, indicating that energy
label upgrades have the potential to increase property value. The research provides evidence of how
changes in the energy label rating impact house prices. Understanding this influence offers valuable
insights for homeowners, real estate professionals, investors, and policymakers. This information
enables stakeholders to make better decisions in the real estate and investing markets | |
