Domestic EPCs

The EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings (the Directive) came into effect progressively in 2007. Its implementation remains an important part of the strategy to tackle climate change. The current requirements are set out in the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, which came into effect on 9 January 2013, although they have been amended since, and the Building Regulations 2010.

Key points

Many publicly funded Domestic Retrofit Schemes require a post-installation EPC.
An EPC is valid for 10 years and can be reused as many times as required within that period.
The regulations require an EPC to be commissioned if there is no valid EPC for that building before a building is put on the market.
Before marketing a building for sale or rent a person acting on behalf of the seller or landlord (for example, the estate or letting agent) must be satisfied that an
EPC has been commissioned for that building.
An EPC must be produced by an accredited energy assessor who is a member of a government-approved accreditation scheme.
All advertisements in the commercial media must clearly show the energy rating of the building (where this is available).
The regulations require an EPC to be given free of charge to the person who becomes the buyer or tenant of the building.
An EPC shows the energy efficiency rating on an A–G rating scale for a building.
The EPC includes recommendations on how to improve energy efficiency.

Branch Manager

Retrofit coordinators are an absolute pleasure to work with,

Alex and his team have guided and advised Dodd Group with the initially rather complicated PAS2030/2025 processes.

With Alex’s support we were up and running in the world of PAS within a matter of weeks, we have now successfully delivered many projects.

Alex has introduced Dodd Group to new clients and we look forward to working with retrofit coordinators for many years to come.

PAS 2035:2019

PAS 2035:2019 is the overarching British Framework for Retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency.

It provides specification, guidance and process for the installation of energy efficiency measures to existing domestic buildings, and details best practice guidance for Assessors, Coordinators Designers and Installers.

What makes PAS 2035 different, is the approach to the retrofit process which is considered to be fabric first, whole house retrofit. This process considers the home energy performance, environment, occupancy, property condition and the householders’ improvement objectives when determining the most suitable energy efficiency measures to install. It also prohibits the issue of
