Energy Performance Certificates

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.

Why Become Environmentally Friendly and Save Money?

At the moment the planet is facing climate change issues. Some scientists believe that our behaviour is the cause of it. Every one of us can contribute in small ways to reverse this trend, from turning the thermostat down to buying a more economical car. In this way we can help to safeguard the future of the planet. Oxford University have put in practice a climate model with the help of thousands of volunteers to study and compare average temperatures for summer, winter, spring and autumn around the UK. You can read more about this by visiting this article.

Cutting costs can lead you to reduce your insurance premiums through improved environmental practices. Some studies have shown that 27 per cent of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions

come from domestic homes. It is a known fact that carbon dioxide contributes to climate change.

With this in mind and following a public consultation, Communities and Local Government

published Building a Greener Future: policy statement in July 2007. This policy statement confirms the government's intention for all new homes to be zero carbon from 2016 with a progressive tightening of the energy efficiency building regulations - by 25 per cent in 2010 and by 44 per cent in 2013 - up to the zero carbon target in 2016.

The Carbon Trust works with organisations to reduce carbon emissions, energy and costs.
