What is the EPBD? Energy Performance of Buildings Directive Designed to tackle climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 produced by buildings via improvements in energy efficiency Meet climate targets agreed under Kyoto Protocol Introduced in the UK in Jan 2006, with a 3 year implementation period ending in Jan 2009 Save energy, save money, save carbon

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

Designed to tackle climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 produced by buildings via improvements in energy efficiency

Meet climate targets agreed under Kyoto Protocol

Introduced in the UK in Jan 2006, with a 3 year implementation period ending in Jan 2009

Requirements of the EPBD Residential Property : Homes with 4 or more bedrooms marketed for sale will require an Energy Performance Certificate EPC-will contain info on the property’s energy efficiency and estimated running cost Certification will give a property an energy efficiency rating & includes advice of further cost effective improvements that can be made All properties will have an EPC when constructed, sold or let. Requirement for an EPC will be phased in for smaller properties as the number of accredited assessors increases Save energy, save money, save carbon

Residential Property :

Homes with 4 or more bedrooms marketed for sale will require an Energy Performance Certificate

Recasting of the EPBD-Oct 2008 European Commission & Parliament considered recasting the EPBD to introduce a number of key changes: DEC to be displayed in buildings >250m2 that are occupied by a public authority EPC to be displayed in commercial buildings >250m2 that are frequently visited by the public & where the EPC has previously been produced on the sale, rent or construction of the building Energy performance of existing buildings of any size that undergoes major renovations to be upgraded in order to meet minimum energy performance requirements Minimum energy requirements to be set in respect to technical building systems e.g. boilers, air con etc Commission to establish common principles for definition of low & zero carbon (LZC) buildings. Definition to be determined by member states. UK targets: from 2016 all homes to be ZC Endorsed by European Parliament in April 2009 Save energy, save money, save carbon
