After 1st June 2007 Energy Performance Certificates will be a compulsory element of the Home Information Pack required by everyone selling their property.

The EU found that small increases to the energy efficiency in the millions of properties across Europe will result in a significant overall reduction in energy usage.

The Energy Assessor will record the key information that affects the energy efficiency of a property. For example, the depth of insulation in the roof will be measured as will the efficiency of the boiler. All this data is entered into a computer program that calculates the energy efficiency and produces a result on an easy to read scale.

The energy report also includes energy saving measures that can be taken to reduce household energy bills. These include general recommendations on improving the energy efficiency and environmental impact for the property. The proposed measures are recommendations only and a guide price to the possible savings is also given.

Energy Efficiency Rating and Environmental Impact Rating bar charts

The overall efficiency is shown on a colour bar chart similar to that seen above. The average rating of a new build property is also shown as comparison and the potential rating if the recommended measures are implemented can also be seen.
