Energy Savings Certificates: what makes a complete file and why verifiers value it
From savings to a tradable asset
RD 36/2023 turns evidenced energy savings into CAEs. Value depends on a file that reproducibly proves the action, calculation and ownership. Order TED/845/2023 organises standard actions through catalogue measures.
What a complete file contains
It identifies the measure or singular action, captures every required parameter, attaches dated evidence, reproduces the calculation, documents ownership and assignment, and records signature and submission.
Ownership and double counting
The same action cannot generate savings twice. Controls should cross-check location, beneficiary, dates, equipment and assignment agreements. A trace of who supplied each document and when prevents late issues.
An ordered file lets the verifier review rather than rebuild. Voombu prepares and traces the file; it does not verify, trade or intermediate CAEs.
