How much does certification cost?

An initial project registration fee is paid. Following registration, the design team will have access to all the calculators. Registration fees are non-refundable. The developer may then decide to proceed to certification.

Please note that fees are subject to change.

These are calculated per home as follows:

5 – 100 @ €55/home

101 – 250 @ €45/home

251 – 500 @ €35/home

500+ @ €25/home

*Certification fees are to be reviewed for increase in Q1 2026

Example A – A development of 63 homes is calculated as follows : (63 x €55) = € 3,465.00

Example B – A development of 563 homes is calculated as follows : (100 x €55 + 150 x €45 + 250 x €35 + 63 x €25) = € 22,575.00

In all cases the registration fee must have been paid.

*Fees will not be refunded in the event a project team withholds a HPI certification application and/or terminates the registration for a project.

*Fees will be assessed and updated if warranted at the start of January every year.

*Projects seeking to target indicator EC 7.0 Innovation will be charged an additional €1000 (excl VAT) for each innovation proposal assessed.
