Energy Performance Certificate

The EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings came into effect progressively from 2007 and is an important part of government strategies for tackling climate change. The principle underlying the Directive is to make energy use in buildings transparent by the issuing of a certificate showing the energy rating of a property, accompanied by recommendations on how to improve efficiency. This energy performance certificate (EPC) must be provided whenever a property is constructed, rented out or sold. The EPC shows the energy efficiency rating (relating to running costs) of a dwelling. The rating is shown on an A–G rating scale similar to those used for refrigerators and other electrical appliances.

When the construction of a new building is completed, the builder or person responsible for the construction is responsible for obtaining the certificate and providing it to the owner. This is a duty under Building Regulations. This will also apply if a building is converted into fewer or more units and there are changes to the heating, hot water provision or air conditioning/ ventilation services.
Domestic properties require an EPC on construction and some commercial buildings will require an EPC on construction or conversion.

What does an assessment include?

An assessment will include; the name and competencies of the person responsible for the assessment and of the person managing the system, a description of the system, identify potential risks, identify any means of preventing the risk or recommendations to control risks, suggestions for monitoring results, checks and frequency of testing.http.www.certificates4landlords.com

Landlords and Legionella

As a Landlord you have a responsibility to understand and minimise the risks from Legionella in your properties. This means complying the relevant section (in chapter 3) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The Health and Safety Executive clearly states that if you are ‘someone in control of premises, including landlords, you must understand the health risks associated with legionella.’

The Approved Code of Practice: Legionnaires’ disease: The control of Legionella bacteria in water systems (L8) contains guidance on how to manage and control the risks in your system and can be found on the HSE website.

Landlords have a legal responsibility to ensure a risk assessment of the property is carried out by a competent person who has knowledge of Legionella and water systems and is up to date with the latest legislative changes. Following the findings of the report it is the Landlord’s responsibility to manage any risks, prevent or control any risks, keep and maintain correct records and carry out any other associated duties. It is the Landlord’s responsibility to know what to do to comply with the law and to take suitable precautions.EPC, legionella documents for LandlordsEpc

What are EPCs?

Much like the multi-coloured sticker on new appliances, EPCs tell you how energy efficient a building is and give it a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). EPCs let the person who will use the building know how costly it will be to heat and light, and what its carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be.

The EPC will also state what the energy-efficiency rating could be if improvements are made, and highlights cost-effective ways to achieve a better rating. Even if you rent your home, some improvements noted on the EPC may be worth implementing, such as switching to more energy-efficient light bulbs.
