Energy Performance Certificates – Part of the Solution
It is now more than two years since Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) were introduced. EPCs not only show the energy efficiency of a property, the likely fuel costs and carbon dioxide emissions, but also give recommendations on how to improve the energy rating and deliver energy cost savings. Skeptics claim these are “worthless” but a recent survey by National Energy Services (NES) tells a very different story.
On the domestic front, NES has analysed data from over 300,000 EPCs for homes in England & Wales and has quantified the potential reduction in energy waste and CO2 emissions identified by the Energy Assessors. The results are startling.
They found that if the recommendations in each EPC, to bring homes up to their potential rating, were implemented, the average CO2 emissions for each home would reduce by 1.2 tonnes and its fuel bill would be cut by
