Exception Register — Energy performance certificate
Primary official evidence
Log every mismatch or missing item as a separate exception: the field involved, the conflicting document, the authority responsible for correction and the condition that blocks closing until resolution. Do not leave exceptions as oral notes. An EKB is a regulatory energy-performance document, not a guarantee of the utility bill for one unit. Verify certificate number, address, block, building type and class against the property being reviewed. The Ministry updated the Binalarda Enerji Performansı Yönetmeliği in June 2025 with newer efficiency criteria and expansion of near-zero-energy requirements, so review the certificate date and the regulatory regime under which it was issued. Record each unresolved deviation with the affected fact, supporting evidence, consequence and required closure; listing an exception does not cure it.
