EPCs and DECs
EPCs
EPCs are for commercial as well as domestic properties, although these are not the only source of energy consumption, together they make the largest contribution to carbon emissions at the moment so it makes sense to tackle these first. The EPC is just the start; everyone can make a difference by taking simple steps.
Improvement in many areas made in our daily lives to reduce the production of CO2 will have a big impact. You can make a start today in several areas; remember the maxim: reuse - reduce - recycle. Make your own assessment of the energy you consume by thinking about what you do and how you do it.
You do not have to be selling your home, business property or renting a property to order an energy assessment. Getting an energy performance certificate is simple, and allows you to look at those parts of your property that have biggest impact.
Choosing to take the first step will help the environment. By getting an EPC and acting on the information in it, we can all reach our targets.
Make informed decisions on reducing your energy consumption by getting as many facts as you can. Try to evaluate your own impact on the environment at home and at work.
