Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) provide a snapshot of a building’s energy efficiency at a specific point in time. Traditionally, EPCs are static, reflecting assumptions about building materials, heating systems, and occupancy patterns. With the rise of smart meters and real-time energy monitoring, there is growing debate
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are an essential part of the UK property market, providing standardized ratings for a building’s energy efficiency. While they guide buyers, renters, and investors, misrepresentation or inaccuracies in EPCs can carry serious legal risks for sellers and landlords. Understanding these risks is
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to evaluate a building’s energy efficiency, covering aspects like insulation, heating systems, and lighting. However, a growing debate questions whether EPCs can also reflect indoor air quality (IAQ) and related health outcomes, given the increasing focus on healthy, energy-efficient homes.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to measure the energy efficiency of properties across the UK. However, when it comes to listed buildings, conflicts often arise between EPC requirements and heritage preservation rules. This tension has created challenges for homeowners, developers, and policymakers trying to balance
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a key tool in the UK for assessing a building’s energy efficiency. However, questions have arisen about whether the software algorithms used to generate EPC ratings accurately reflect real-world energy performance. Understanding the methodology behind EPC calculations can reveal systemic biases
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are intended to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in the UK’s housing stock. However, the intersection of EPC regulations and rent control policies has raised concerns about unintended consequences, particularly whether enforcing energy efficiency standards could inflate housing costs for
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are widely used in the UK to measure a property’s energy efficiency, influencing decisions by homeowners, tenants, buyers, and even lenders. However, there is growing debate over whether EPCs disadvantage older properties, raising questions about fairness and accuracy in energy assessments. Why
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are the standard measure of a building’s operational energy efficiency in the UK. They evaluate energy use for heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation, providing guidance to homeowners, tenants, and buyers. However, EPCs do not account for whole-life carbon, also known as the
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are intended to provide a standardized measure of a building’s energy efficiency in the UK. They are widely used by homeowners, buyers, renters, and policymakers. However, questions have arisen about whether EPCs accurately reflect real-world energy use, sparking a debate about their
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are widely used in the UK to assess a building’s energy efficiency. Traditionally, they focus on operational energy use, such as heating, cooling, and lighting. However, with climate change increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, there’s growing interest in whether EPCs
