WPCasa Energy Efficiency

The WPCasa Energy Efficiency add-on is required if you want to display energy efficiency values of your property on your listing page. This information is needed especially in some European countries.

This add-on gives you the ability to present the energy values ​​visually on a color scale. You can display these both vertically in a sidebar and horizontally in the content area.

Add-On Settings

After activating the plugin you can head over to the add-on settings on WP-Admin > WPCasa > Settings and you will find the new Energy Efficiency tab.

Here you can set the text of the messages and optionally add additional details that are required in your country or that you would like to show to your customers.

Message “Not available”

This message is displayed when the certificate is not available.

Message “Pending”

This message is displayed when the certificate is pending.

Default

Select the message that is displayed when a listing has no data yet.

Additional Details

Here you can add up to five additional details. For example, in some countries, additional information on real estate may need to be provided to comply with local laws. Or you may want to inform your customers about a specific value independently. If a detail has no value, it will not be displayed on the listing page.

Print

Select whether you also want the Energy Chart to be printed when you print the listing.

Add the Details to the Listing Page Template

You can add the Energy Efficiency details to your listing page with the shortcode [wpsight_listing_energy_efficiency] or with the widget › WPCasa Energy Efficiency.

Using the Shortcode

Add the shortcode [wpsight_listing_energy_efficiency] in your single listing page template. The shortcode supports the attribute orientation with the values vertical and horizontal. Vertical is the default value if no attribute is given, which means the additional information is below the chart.

For example you can add [wpsight_listing_energy_efficiency orientation="horizontal"] to show the additional information next to the energy chart.

Setting up the Widget

If your theme supports widgets, you can easily add the energy efficiency widget by dragging and dropping the widget into the corresponding sidebar.
