Under legislation which came into effect from 1st August 2007 a Home Information Pack was required
which is a collection of information about a residential property which needs to be in place when the property is marketed.
Part of the pack was an Energy Performance Certificate. (EPC)
The Home Information Pack was abandoned in May
2010 with the EPC being retained.
The Energy Performance Certificate or EPC is generated by a Domestic Energy Assessor
who is a member of an accredited scheme run by the Government. The Assessor will visit the property and carry out a series
of checks, which will measure the energy efficiency using specifically designed software. A certificate will then be issued
showing the "energy rating" of the property on a scale of A - G, with A meaning very efficient and G meaning
very inefficient. The certificate will also give an Environmental Impact Rating, which gives an indication of the property's
carbon-dioxide emmisions. The EPC will give recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency of the property.
