Energy Performance Certificates 'a priority'

09/02/2010

A company specialising in providing green buildings and energy efficient working spaces, Morgan Lovell is to provide a seminar on Energy Performance Certificates.

Speaking at the Ecobuild event, Morgan Lovell's green office expert Ian Johnson will offer advice to companies on the minimum requirements for the certificates.

Mr Johnson said: "Energy Performance Certificates are now required for all commercial buildings whenever they were built and whether they are being rented or sold."

He explained that the certificates are designed to record how energy efficient a building is, "similar to the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines".

Mr Johnson's talks could be of benefit to landlords who may need to update their existing buildings in order to qualify for an Energy Performance Certificate.

The seminar on Energy Performance Certificates takes place as part of the Ecobuild Refurbishing Britain series which will be held at Earls Court on Wednesday March 3rd.
