Latest Energy Performance Proposals

The European Commission has proposed a strengthening of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

The key proposals include:

Display Energy Certificates (DEC) to be displayed in buildings larger than 250 metres squared, that are occupied by a public authority
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) to be displayed in commercial buildings larger than 250 metres squared, that are frequently visited by the public and where an EPC has previously been produced on the sale, rent or construction of that building
The energy performance of existing buildings of any size that undergoes major renovations to be upgraded in order to meet minimum energy performance requirements.
Establishing a definition of low and zero carbon (LZC) buildings
Requirements to set targets for increase in LZC buildings with separate targets for new and refurbished dwellings, commercIal buildings and public authority used sites
Development of a set methodology to effectively manage energy performance

Will your building be compliant and will meet the challenging targets set out by the Government?
