🌬️ ATTMA backs BEAMA's call for crucial EPC reform! 🌱 ATTMA is fully behind BEAMA's latest push to update Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to include indoor air quality (IAQ) metrics. This shift would mark a big step forward for UK housing standards, addressing health risks linked to poor ventilation. By expanding EPCs to assess IAQ alongside energy efficiency, we can promote healthier, more sustainable homes. Industry professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders – check out the BEAMA position paper and learn more about the long-term impact of this proposed change!
