NEN 2580 Measurement

The official living area of your property. Basis for energy label, WWS point calculation, and rental contract.

What is NEN 2580 Measurement?

NEN 2580 is the Dutch standard for measuring surface areas in buildings. This standard determines the official usable floor area (GBO) of a property.

This area is leading for:

  • Energy label — area is input for the calculation
  • WWS point calculation — area directly yields points
  • Rental contract — prevents disputes with tenants

Consequences of Incorrect Measurement

  • Incorrect energy label and WWS score
  • Missed WWS points (less rent)
  • Disputes at the Rent Tribunal
  • Rejection of official documents

The Foundation of Everything

The NEN 2580 measurement forms the basis for all rental-related calculations. Without correct measurement, energy label and WWS point calculation are unreliable.
