Energy Assessments
For all sectors of the property market

October 1st 2008, will see the final stage of the government’s implementation of a series of measures to ensure that virtually every property in England and Wales has an energy certificate. The rules apply to buildings where the public have access to the construction, sale or letting of all other buildings across the property market. These requirements will be extended to Scotland and Northern Ireland in 2009. These measures have been imposed across the European Union.

• Assessors have to be qualified to produce the particular type of certificate Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) for residential homes
• On-Construction Domestic Energy Assessors (OCDEA)
• Operational Ratings Assessors for public buildings
• Commercial (Non-Domestic) Energy Assessor – for all buildings except homes. This qualification is sub-divided to Levels 3/4/5 of competence related to the complexity of the building

All certificates will include recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property. However, we can offer additional services to clients who require more in-depth analysis and advice over and above what is provided with the certificate.
