Who Is Called a Domestic Energy Assessor and How Did They Help You?
Domestic energy assessors advise people on
the energy supply for their homes. They assess the individual's needs and
suggest to them an appropriate source of energy and supplier, attempting to
secure energy sales. They also advise on the economic and environmental
advantages of types of energy and create energy plans compliant with
regulations and the technical requirements and conditions of the residence.
You’ll be keeping families safe by checking that their energy systems are up to
the right standards. And you’ll be making a difference to the environment.
What is a domestic energy assessor?
A domestic energy assessor is qualified
to assess the energy efficiency of residential properties like houses and
flats. They prepare reports and make recommendations for cost-effective ways to
improve energy performance in buildings. These reports are called Energy
Performance Certificates and are carried out during the buying and selling of
residential homes. A domestic energy assessor can make a great difference in
people’s lives allowing them to save money and stay warm in the winter months.
There are some other important things that an energy assessor has to check
every time he visits a property to ensure the safety of people.
What does EPC mean and what does it indicate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale of A-G. Energy
Performance Certificates were introduced in 2007 and are a legal requirement
for a building to be sold, let, or constructed. Once obtained, an EPC
certificate is valid for a few years after the declaration.
The most efficient homes which should
have the lowest fuel bills - are in band A. The Certificate will tell you on a
scale of A-G, the energy efficiency of your home along with the potential scale
after improvements are made, with 'A' being the most efficient home.
Better-rated homes should have less impact through Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
emissions, the EPC will show the amount of CO2 emissions produced by that
property in tonnes, and will advise on the amount this could be reduced.
The average property in the UK is in
bands D-E for both ratings. The Certificate includes recommendations on ways to
improve the home's energy efficiency to save you money and help the
environment. EPCs apply also to commercial buildings and are rated only by
Carbon Dioxide emission ratings on a scale of A-G.
