Welcome to Energy
Assessor 4U
The
Energy Performance Certificate
EPC Domestic
Energy Performance Certificates tell you how energy efficient a
home is on a scale of A-G. The most efficient homes - which should
have the lowest fuel bills - are in band A.
The Certificate also tells you, on a scale of A-G, about the
impact the home has on the environment. Better-rated homes should
have less impact through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The average property in the UK is in bands D-E for both ratings.
The Certificate includes recommendations on ways to improve the
home's energy efficiency to save you money and help the environment.
The inspection takes about 1 hour to complete and includes the
following:
1.A visual inspection of the outside of the property
2.A visual inspection of each room within the property
3.Measurements of the property
4.A visual inspection of the loft space
5Inspection of boilers, hot water cylinders, controls and central
heating systems.
6.A visual check of room lighting to see the percentage of energy
efficient bulbs being used.
7.An assessment of the glazing fitted in each room (double or single
glazing)
8.If necessary an assessment any ajoining corridors, basements and
outbuildings will be made.
You will be asked to fill-in a questionnaire giving details
about the property and details of any relevant guarantees, certificates,
planning and/or building consents for any extensions, insulation,
double-glazing or refurbishment works.
The EPC is held on a central database and can be viewed by inputting
it's unique Report Reference Number (RRN) into the search form on
the Landmark website.

EPC Energy Performance Certificates
EPC's For Landlords
The next stage of the Governments implementation of the Energy
Performance of Buildings Directive, for residential property, comes
into effect from 1 October 2008. An Energy Performance Certificate
(EPC) will be required whenever a building in the social or private
rented sectors is let to a new tenant.
To help to clarify the regulations the Government has produced
a guide entitled Energy performance certificates for dwellings
in the social and private rented sectors: A guide for landlords.
