Partnering with MITERD to launch Spain’s first national energy efficiency certificate database

Deyde DataCentric, a Spanish technology company specialized in data quality, geolocation, and information validation and enrichment, and a member of the group, has signed a collaboration agreement with the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITERD in Spanish) for the design, development, and implementation of a unified national database for Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in Spain.

This cooperation agreement between Deyde DataCentric and MITERD will allow the creation of an efficient system of shared and updated information to know exactly the energy situation of the residential stock and facilitate the control and identification of deficiencies and possible errors in the EPCs.

Deyde DataCentric will be responsible for designing, building and implementing this single database of validated, corrected and enriched energy certificate information at the property cadastral reference level during the 4-year contract.

“In addition to our experience in database management, validation and enrichment, we will contribute our knowledge of energy consulting and the housing sector, which comes from being part of the Tinsa Group. Deyde DataCentric has developed the algorithm for modelling energy performance certificates that enables Tinsa to catalogue the energy efficiency level of every house in the country," explains Deyde DataCentric.

Supported by this technological expertise and its energy and real estate consultancy, Deyde DataCentric will be responsible for enriching and validating the information in the registers of the Spanish Regions updated data from additional public sources and with information exclusively owned by Deyde DataCentric.

This public-private partnership initiative will improve the quality and structure of information on residential energy efficiency in Spain. By validating that the information on the certificates is consistent and meets the technical criteria, it will provide a true aggregate picture of the energy situation of the housing stock. This transparency is essential to promote public policies that help citizens improve the energy efficiency of their homes, in line with the objectives set by Europe,' the company explains.

Deyde DataCentric will also provide the technological infrastructure in the cloud under the main international information security standards, as it has the prestigious ISO 27001 certification from Aenor.
