The UK government has set out new building energy efficiency standards to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change. The standards include requirements for new buildings to be nearly zero-energy by 2025.
This article reviews the current state of energy efficiency in buildings, including the UK's building energy efficiency standards and certification schemes. It highlights the importance of energy-efficient buildings in reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
BRE provides a range of building energy efficiency certification schemes, including BREEAM and the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). These schemes help building owners and occupiers to assess and improve the energy efficiency of their buildings.
This article provides an overview of the energy efficiency requirements in the UK building regulations, including the minimum standards for new buildings and the requirements for existing buildings. It also discusses the role of energy performance certificates in assessing building energy efficiency.
This guide provides an overview of the energy efficiency certification schemes available for UK buildings, including the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and the Display Energy Certificate (DEC). It also discusses the benefits of energy efficiency certification and how it can help building owners and occupiers to reduce energy consumption and costs.
This article discusses the importance of energy efficiency standards in achieving the UK's net zero carbon target. It highlights the need for stricter building energy efficiency standards and the role of certification schemes in promoting energy-efficient buildings.
This guide provides an overview of the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) scheme, including how to obtain an EPC and how to use it to improve the energy efficiency of a building. It also discusses the benefits of EPCs and how they can help building owners to reduce energy consumption and costs.
This video provides an overview of best practices for building energy efficiency, including the use of energy-efficient materials and systems. It also features case studies of energy-efficient buildings in the UK and discusses the benefits of energy efficiency certification.
