Energy Performance Certificates - Public and Commercial Sectors


energyTEAM engineers will be able to issue the required Display Energy Certificates and associated Advisory Reports for Public Authorities in time for October 2008 when they are required as well as Energy Performance Certificates and Advisory Reports for vendors of commercial property that require them to complete any lease, rent or sale transactions from April 2008 onwards.

The roll out of this legislation has already been delayed once because it was felt that there will not be enough accredited assessors to ensure that everyone who needs an Energy Performance Certificate and or a Display Energy Certificate will be able to comply with the legislation so Act now and book an energyTEAM engineer.

For more information, or to book a meeting with an energyTEAM engineer please click on the document links on the right hand side of this page.
