Energy Performance Certificates

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was passed into law in January 2003 in the UK and has become legislation in mid 2008 to become the legal requirement in Northern Ireland.

This Directive aims to improve the energy efficiency of all buildings therefore generating savings in energy consumption and the reduction in the harmful effects of greenhouse gases.

This improved energy efficiency is aimed to be promoted through generating Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and all buildings will be legally required to have an EPC before they can be offered for sale or rent.
