Environmental Audit Committee (House of Commons) inquiry on energy efficiency of existing homes

Tadj Oreszczyn and Peter Mallaburn, with comments by Cliff Elwell, Robert Lowe, Nick Eyre and Tina Fawcett

Summary of our response

The Environmental Audit Committee’s inquiryOpens in a new tab took a broad view of energy efficiency in existing buildings. CREDS’ response focuses on the role that Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) could play in helping to achieve reductions in energy use in buildings, with changes to how EPCs are constructed, applied and shared.  This includes better training for energy assessors, better data sharing and the development of ‘real time’ EPCs to provide timely, relevant information on energy performance.
