Energy Efficiency In Buildings

The Government has recently introduced regulations to implement the 2004 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

The Regulations in question, namely the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007, lay down important new requirements, backed up by criminal sanctions, for:

• the production of Energy Performance Certificates when buildings are constructed, sold or rented out;
  
  
• the display of Display Energy Certificates in large public buildings; and
  
  
• regular inspections of air conditioning systems.
