Residential Energy Performance Certificates
Government legislation now requires all residential properties; being sold, built or leased, to make available an energy performance certificate to prospective purchasers or tenants. This will enable people to make more informed decisions relating to the energy efficiency of a property and the ongoing costs of fuel.
The objective of obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is to comply with the new EPBD directives implemented in the UK over the past 2 years. The certificate presents several key bits of information. Ratings are represented with a chart with grades from 'A' to 'G', where 'A' is the most energy efficient and 'G' is the least. EPC's can only be obtained by an accredited energy assessor. Our company takes care of employing the right person for the report who will suggest improvements in order to make the building more efficient. These suggestions are an indication only and do not have to be implemented. The idea is to provide prospective tenants or purchasers with up to date information on a building's efficiency presented in a cost graph and also a CO2 emission chart to highlight environmental impact.
