Summary

Buildings account for almost half of the energy consumption and carbon emission in the UK. The ways in which we light, heat and use our buildings all contribute to this.

This booklet gives advice on the range of initiatives being introduced by January 2009 to help improve the energy efficiency of our buildings and meet the UK's carbon emissions.

It covers:

  • Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for homes and buildings
  • Display Certificates for public buildings
  • inspections for air conditioning systems.

This is one of a series of booklets providing information on the energy peformance of buildings. Other titles in the series are available via the links on the right.
