Sample Hungarian TÉ Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Hungarian TÉ Exam exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 40+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under Government Decree 176/2008. (VI. 30.), how long is a Hungarian energy performance certificate normally valid?
A.5 years
B.10 years
C.3 years
D.Until the next sale or lease
Explanation: A certificate is normally valid for five years. If the applicable requirement value changes during that period, the classification must be recalculated when a sale or lease occurs.
2Which current decree supplies Hungary's building-energy calculation requirements and replaced Decree 7/2006. (V. 24.) TNM from 1 November 2023?
A.266/2013. (VII. 11.) Korm. rendelet
B.9/2023. (V. 25.) ÉKM rendelet
C.176/2008. (VI. 30.) Korm. rendelet
D.253/1997. (XII. 20.) Korm. rendelet
Explanation: Decree 9/2023. (V. 25.) ÉKM contains the current calculation requirements and methods. Decrees 266/2013 and 176/2008 govern professional practice and certification procedure respectively.
3Which registry code identifies the Hungarian professional entitlement for building energy certification?
A.ME
B.SZ
C.TÉ
D.MV
Explanation: The official code is TÉ, for the energetikai tanúsítói jogosultság. It identifies the entitlement to perform regulated building energy certification work.
4Which system gives a completed Hungarian energy certificate its official HET identifier?
A.The ÉTDR permitting system
B.The chamber's e-Mérnök training record
C.MEKH's energy-statistics portal
D.The OÉNY e-tanúsítás system
Explanation: The certifier uses the OÉNY electronic program to create the authenticated certificate and its identifier. The signed certificate and supporting calculation are then supplied to the client.
5What second classification must appear alongside the energy-performance classification under the post-November-2023 certificate rules?
A.A specific carbon-dioxide-emissions classification
B.A building-control inspection class
C.A property-market value class
D.An airtightness test class
Explanation: The certificate separately classifies weighted energy performance and specific carbon-dioxide emissions. Both use the A+++ to I class structure defined by the certification decree.
6When is a renovation classed as a jelentős felújítás for the building-energy requirements?
A.When it changes at least 50% of the net floor area
B.When it affects more than 25% of the total surface of the building envelope
C.When annual energy use falls by at least 10%
D.When any single technical system is replaced
Explanation: A significant renovation affects more than 25% of the total surface of the building envelope. That definition determines which renovation requirements in Decree 9/2023 apply; it does not by itself define every event requiring a certificate.
7For a property sale covered by Decree 176/2008, who is responsible for arranging the energy certificate?
A.The prospective buyer
B.The certifier selected by the buyer
C.The seller
D.The land-registry authority
Explanation: For a covered sale, the seller must arrange the certificate and present it to the prospective buyer before the contract is concluded. The seller must also hand over the certificate or its identifier when the contract is concluded.
8What is the key modeling principle of the referenciaépület used to determine a building's regulatory benchmark?
A.It represents the national median building of the same age
B.It copies the best-performing certified building in the county
C.It shares only the assessed building's floor area
D.It uses the assessed building's geometry and use with prescribed reference technical characteristics
Explanation: The reference-building method holds key characteristics such as geometry and use consistent with the assessed building while assigning regulatory reference fabric and system data. This creates a building-specific denominator for compliance and classification comparisons.
9Which description best defines operative temperature for a room occupant?
A.A combined measure of air temperature and mean radiant temperature, weighted by convective and radiative heat transfer
B.The thermostat air temperature with humidity added numerically
C.The supply-air temperature leaving a ventilation diffuser
D.The arithmetic average of indoor and outdoor air temperatures
Explanation: Operative temperature combines the thermal effect of room air and surrounding surface radiation on a person. When air speed is low, it is often approximated from air temperature and mean radiant temperature.
10What do PMV and PPD describe in a thermal-comfort assessment?
A.PMV is the percentage dissatisfied, while PPD is the mean air temperature
B.PMV predicts the group's mean thermal sensation and PPD predicts the percentage likely dissatisfied
C.PMV predicts annual heating demand and PPD predicts peak boiler power
D.PMV measures humidity and PPD measures indoor carbon dioxide
Explanation: Predicted Mean Vote estimates the average sensation on a cold-to-hot scale for a large group. Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied translates that thermal state into the expected share dissatisfied, accounting for the fact that perfect satisfaction is unattainable.

About the Hungarian TÉ Exam Exam

The Épületenergetikai tanúsítói jogosultsági vizsga (TÉ) is the qualifying examination for Hungary's regulated building energy-certifier entitlement. The current official scope covers regulation, indoor environmental criteria, envelope and system calculations, building-services identification and modernization, certification methods, existing-building assessment, air exchange, rating classes, and documentation. Official sources reviewed publish Hungarian test materials but do not state a complete list of permitted assessment languages. OpenExamPrep provides independent English-language four-option MCQ study practice and does not claim to be an official translation or exact simulation.

Exam sponsor: Magyar Mérnöki Kamara (MMK) or Magyar Építész Kamara (MÉK). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Two separately evaluated computer-based written parts: a 50-question general part and a specialist part containing 20 one-point theory questions plus 6 five-point calculation questions. Official items may be single-answer, multiple-answer, or true/false. An oral examination of up to 15 minutes applies only when a written result is at least 50% but below the 70% direct-pass threshold; no mandatory assignment, practical performance, or case-study component is published.

Time Limit

120 minutes written: 60 minutes general and 60 minutes specialist (20 minutes theory plus 40 minutes calculations); conditional oral up to 15 minutes

Passing Score

At least 70% in each written part for a direct pass; 50% to below 70% requires an oral examination; below 50% is unsuccessful

Hungarian TÉ Exam: Suggested Study Strategy

1Separate the four current weighting factors: non-renewable primary energy, renewable primary energy, total primary energy, and carbon-dioxide equivalent.
2Practice the specialist calculations without external materials except the formula collection permitted for that section.
3Learn the component U-value table, including 0.24 W/(m²·K) for façade walls and 1.10 W/(m²·K) for qualifying wood- or PVC-framed façade openings.
4Review indoor-environment topics as well as heat transfer: operative temperature, PMV and PPD, ventilation, humidity, and lighting are in the official specialist outline.
5Keep certificate procedure distinct from calculation rules: Decree 176/2008 governs certification, while Decree 9/2023 supplies the energy method and requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official format of the TÉ examination?

MMK's current guide describes a computer-based test. The general part has 50 questions in 60 minutes; the specialist part has 20 theory questions in 20 minutes and 6 calculation questions in 40 minutes. Official items may require one answer, multiple answers, or true/false judgments.

Is there always an oral or practical TÉ assessment?

No. A written result of at least 70% passes without an oral. A result from 50% to below 70% leads to oral questioning of up to 15 minutes, while below 50% fails. Current official sources publish no mandatory practical, assignment, certificate-defense, or case-study component.

How much does the full TÉ examination cost?

The current statutory full fee is HUF 52,000: HUF 26,000 for the general part and HUF 26,000 for the specialist part. The first repeat is free if taken within one year.

Who can apply for the TÉ examination?

Applicants need a listed engineering or architecture degree and one year of relevant post-degree practice. The competent territorial chamber must first issue a positive preliminary assessment before examination registration.
