The methodology for the production of domestic energy performance certificates has evolved steadily, each update bringing more refinement to the process and therefore more accuracy to EPCs. The latest iteration, RdSAP 10, due to be introduced early next year, will take a considerable leap forward requiring energy assessors to collect much more detail. This will enable EPCs to reflect the energy performance of each property more accurately than ever before. EPCs provide householders with information about the energy performance of their house or flat and guide them in making informed choices about energy saving measures. They also inform policymakers about the energy performance of building stock. Certain measures may be dependent on a building achieving a specific EPC rating. It follows that refinement of EPC production methodology and greater property-specific accuracy of EPCs is to be welcomed. The downside is that energy assessors will require to spend more time on site, which is likley to impact on fee rates. This summary, put together by Elmhurst Energy's Damien Roberts, outlines what's involved in RdSAP 10. #EPC #energyperformance #RdSAP10
