1) Requires all properties (homes, commercial and public buildings) owners to make an energy performance certificate (EPC) available for buyers or tenants.
A person responsible for having construction work carried out, when a building is constructed or modified, should make an energy performance certificate available to the owner of the building not more than five days after the work has been completed. EPC must not be more than 10 years old.
2) Requires that all air-conditioning systems over 12kW must be regularly inspected by an Energy Assessor. The energy assessor will highlight improvements to the operation of existing systems or opportunities to replace older, less energy efficient systems or oversized systems with new energy efficient systems.
The inspections must be no more than five years apart. One or more air conditioning units within a building controlled by a single person are considered to comprise a single air conditioning system for the purposes of the regulations.
