The Government’s Energy Performance of Buildings
Directive was introduced in Parliament in March 2007
and is a drive to improve energy efficiency, reduce
carbon emissions and meet climate change targets. This
legislation effects both landlords and property owners
who must provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
to any prospective buyer or tenant when they construct,
sell or lease a commercial building. The key timelines
for this legislation are:
In England & Wales
from 1 October 2008 for all other buildings
from 1st October public authorities and institutions
occupying buildings with a useable floor area over 1,000m2
must present a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) in an
area clearly visible to the general public
In Scotland
The requirement for an EPC when selling or leasing
commercial buildings over 100m2 in Scotland took effect
from 4 January 2009.
