EPCs are an outdated and a not reliable way of assessing the energy performances of buildings. This fact is slowly reaching the right audience and finally someone is starting to question the benefit of such system. Give your thoughts about this topic using the link below!
🏡 Reforms to the Energy Performance of Buildings regime The UK Government has opened a consultation on proposed reforms to the Energy Performance of Buildings regime. These reforms aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) while ensuring stronger compliance with inspection standards. Key proposals include: • Streamlining and updating the inspection regime for air-conditioning systems, focusing on larger systems to maximise carbon savings. • Strengthening EPC reliability and enforcement to reflect real-world energy performance. • Reviewing training and standards for assessors to ensure improved quality and compliance. These changes are part of the UK’s wider efforts to achieve net zero emissions and enhance energy efficiency in the built environment. Stakeholders are invited to contribute their feedback to shape this critical framework. For more information, visit the consultation page on GOV.UK. https://lnkd.in/ew44aCj5
