Domestic EPC
From 30 June 2008, all dwellings being sold in Northern Ireland require an Energy Performance Certificate and the duty to have one produced is on the property seller. This applies whether or not the dwelling was on the market before 30th June 2008. Order now!
It allows prospective owners better information on the expected running costs of a building or apartment. As fuel costs increase, buildings that are more energy efficient will also be more attractive to prospective owners.
Rental EPC
From 30 December 2008, all Dwellings being rented by private or social landlords are required to have an Energy Performance Certificate. Order now!
It is proposed that the energy performance certificate should be part of the tenancy agreement and this should be provided to the tenant before the agreement is signed.
DSD proposes to make a written tenancy agreement mandatory for all private tenancies with the form and content of these being prescribed by regulations. Tenancy agreements are considered to be the only practical enforcement mechanism for the Directive in the rented housing sector.
Commercial EPC
From the end of December 2008, Energy Performance Certificates are required for commercial buildings marketed for sale and being offered for rental, thus becoming compulsory whenever a building is constructed, sold or rented out. These certificates display an energy rating for buildings based on its energy efficiency rating from A to G. An A rating shows it's very efficient, meaning lower fuel bills, while G is inefficient, meaning higher fuel bills. The Certificate will also show the building's environmental impact by indicating its carbon-dioxide emissions. Contact us now for a quote!
DISPLAY EPC
From the end of December 2008, Display Energy Certificates are required for all public sector buildings over 1000m2 in floor area. Our Energy Assessors will work in conjunction with Facility Managers to display information that explains the building’s energy efficiency to members of the public who use the facility. The annual aim should be to have a noticeable reduction in energy use for each building. Contact us now for a quote!
