energy certification Explanation: However, the government is making slow progress in the key area of energy certification (Article 7 of the EPBD). This requires Member States to introduce a system by which energy certificates have to be made available for • All new buildings • All existing privately owned buildings, when sold • All existing rented buildings, at change of tenant • All public buildings larger than 1,000m2 in floor area Article 10 requires the establishment of a system of accredited experts, authorised to carry out the certification. http://www.pilkington.com/europe/uk and ireland/english/buil... Energy Performance Of Buildings Directive A methodology for calculating the total energy performance of buildings has to be developed, and this must form the basis of Building Regulations requirements. Building Regulations will have to be reviewed at no more than five-yearly intervals in future. A system for the ***energy certification*** of buildings must be developed, and every new building or existing building when sold or rented must have a certificate. Every building larger than 1,000m2, when undergoing a major refurbishment, must have the latest energy saving technologies installed, insofar as is economic and practical. |
