Planning, building and the environment
How to make your home more energy efficient
Improving the energy efficiency of your home can mean either making changes to the building, or simply changing your behaviour to save energy. The Energy Performance Certificates will give you advice on both of these areas.
The recommendations are guidance only, but it is made clear that acting on them would help people to cut their energy consumption, save money on bills and help safeguard the environment.
If your property has a low rating this simply indicates your property could be more energy efficient. During the inspection a number of recommendations to improve the energy efficiency will be identified.
