Energy Performance Certificates

What is an Energy Performance Certificate?

Energy Performance Certificates of buildings provide prospective buyers or renters information about the current energy performance of a house and ways it could be improved. The rating is based on how the building itself performs in line with standard assumptions of building usage.

The improvements provided are simply suggestions, there is no legislative requirement to implement any changes.
