Energy Performance Certificates
Towergate has teamed up with Personal Touch
Energy Surveyors (PTES) to provide a professional and
competitively priced energy certification service to our
customers.
PTES has a national team of appropriately qualified and
accredited energy surveyors. Following a site visit they will
provide clients with the required Energy Performance or Display
Energy Certificate, along with a simple report and advice on how to
improve energy efficiency.
Energy Performance Certification – What do the
new requirements mean to you?
From January 2009 Energy Performance Certificates became a legal
requirement across the UK, following the implementation of the
European Energy Performance Buildings Directive.
This requires the production of an appropriate Energy
Certificate and advisory or recommendations report for all types of
properties. The need for this is triggered:-
- On construction or substantial modification / extension of a
building
- On the sale or letting of a building
- On an annual basis for all pubic buildings over 1000sqm
To help potential tenants, owners and occupiers consider energy
efficiency in their investment, the certificate will contain:-
- The energy rating on a A-G scale based on the efficiency of the
building or on actual energy consumption
- Suggestions on how to improve the energy efficiency of the
building
- Information on the property’s energy efficiency rating
Commercial and domestic property owners need to identify a
suitably qualified Energy Assessor who is a member of an approved
Accreditation Body to undertake the assessment and provide a
suitable Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The EPC is then
valid for 10 years.
Occupiers of public buildings are also required to appoint a
similarly qualified Assessor to provide a Display Energy
Certificate annually.
