01 / INPUT
Design and installations
Geometry, insulation, glazing, ventilation, heating, cooling and renewable energy form the calculation input.
BENG · NTA 8800 · HOME
BENG Calculation – Residential.
Calculation of energy demand, primary energy use and renewable energy share. The calculation is most valuable while design choices can still be adjusted.
BENG 1BENG 2BENG 3Overheating risk where applicable
02 / CALCULATE
Test the three indicators
Energy demand, fossil primary energy and renewable-energy share are calculated together.
03 / ADJUST
Improve before submission
Variants show where the design or systems can be adjusted before the permit file is fixed.

Dutch permit applications for new homes and commercial buildings have had to meet the BENG requirements since 1 January 2021. Apartment buildings require a calculation for the building and each apartment.

A calculation is not merely a final check. It is a design tool for comparing insulation, glazing, ventilation, generation and installation concepts.
- Fewer late design changes
- Transparent assumptions
- Variants where useful
- Clear calculation report

- Project phase and deadline
FAQ
Good to know in advance.
When should I commission the BENG calculation?+
As soon as the geometry, envelope and installation concept are sufficiently clear, while changes are still possible.
Is BENG only for homes?+
No. BENG applies to Dutch new construction for both residential and relevant commercial use functions.
Can Royal Label compare variants?+
Yes, when agreed in the scope. This can show which change is most effective for a failing or tight indicator.
