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
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) play a vital role in assessing the energy efficiency of UK properties. With growing concerns about sustainability, some experts and policymakers are exploring whether banks and mortgage lenders should enforce minimum EPC ratings for property financing. This raises important questions about the
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are intended to provide an accurate assessment of a building’s energy efficiency, guiding homeowners, tenants, and buyers. Despite strict building regulations in the UK aimed at ensuring energy-efficient construction, some new-build homes fail to meet EPC expectations. Understanding why this occurs is
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to provide transparency about a property’s energy efficiency and carbon footprint. They guide homeowners, tenants, and buyers in making informed decisions. However, the application of penalties for poor EPC ratings raises important ethical questions, particularly for vulnerable homeowners who may
