New EPC guidance, CIBSE and a belated return

 

Wow it been 3 months…..well i moved and other important things have been happening in my life.

There is new EPC guidance (the second edition too). Best bits so far are the recognition that the levels 3,4,5 have to be delineated better. Essentially the guidance states that now level 3,4 are for common systems and outlines what DSM is for better. Still a bit of a pigs ear but better than the two lines that came before.

Also the FAQ appears updated; I live the fact that it now has an answer to all the EPC factories out there (you know who you are). Yes you can get the junior engineer as as he is fit and proper….i quote

The Accredited Energy Assessor must ensure that anyone visiting a property or gathering information on their behalf is both ‘fit and proper’

Mmmmmm good luck juniors….as the recommendation report of an EPC says you have visited the site…you monkey boy will be sent to tick this box.

Also get some of the questions in the FAQ:

• If I am offered work on a farm and that employment comes with a tied building, should I expect to see an EPC? If so, for which part of the building?
• Should an EPC be provided to every new resident of a care home?

Love it…
