Energy in the Environment and Planning Act – Sustainability Obligation, EED and Energy Label

Reducing our energy consumption is one of the most important ways in which the Dutch government aims to achieve Europe’s climate goals. In 2023, it therefore introduced an energy label C obligation for offices. In the same year, it also changed the energy saving obligation, expanding it to include an obligation to use more sustainable sources of energy. These obligations came on top of the previously introduced EED audit obligation.

As all these obligations have also been incorporated in the EPA and are still invariably relevant, we have briefly set out their main elements in our Energy factsheet, along with a specification of the laws and regulations where these obligations can be found from 1 January 2024.

Environment & Planning
In a place as densely populated as the Netherlands, it is common to see small areas of land with many different functions and uses. Environmental law regulates the complex distribution of available space. This area of law is constantly changing due to new national and European laws and regulations, new building techniques and societal developments.
Environment & Planning Act
The Environment Act covers the space in which people live, work and relax. This new law merges old laws and contains rules for what can be seen, heard and smelled outside.
