H&VCA Accreditation Available
Accreditation Schemes are responsible for ensuring the quality of energy inspections and Energy Performance Certificates/Display Energy Certificates. This is important as energy certificates are a legal obligation, and consumers need to be protected.
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was introduced in the UK from January 2006 with a three year implementation period ending January 2009. Its objective is to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions as part of the government's strategy to achieve a sustainable environment and meet climate change targets agreed under the Kyoto Protocol. The EPBD introduced higher standards of energy conservation for new and refurbished buildings from April 2006 and will require energy performance certification for all buildings when sold or leased. In addition it will introduce regular inspections for larger air conditioning systems and advice on more efficient boiler operation for commercial property.
