Since April 2008 the new Energy Performance Certificates for commercial buildings have been phased in for all commercial property sold, let or constructed.

Needham Haddrell’s surveyors are in the first wave of training to produce these certificates for the vast majority of commercial property having already worked in the commercial sector for Building Regulations approval and consultancy work.

The Energy Performance Certificate will be based upon a detailed model of the building with its heating, ventilation and air conditioning services.  It will provide a grading, carbon emissions rating and running costs.  The model can then be used to assist with advice for future improvements.

From October 2008 all public buildings will require a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) that will show carbon emissions of the building over the last year. These will be updated annually to show the improvements made.

Needham Haddrell works in the public and private sectors to assess buildings and provide reports on cost effective improvements that can be made to reduce the running costs and carbon emissions.
