Location! Location! Goes Energy Efficient!

Tonight's episode of the property hunting program Location! Location! on channel 4 sees the presenters looking for houses with a high energy efficiency rating in the UK towns of Windsor and Maidenhead. In the program we see them looking for somewhere with a Watermill and Solar Panels! Every rented or saleable dwelling in  UK must now have an EPC or Energy Performance certificate as discussed briefly in yesterdays  blog on the Green Deal. The EPC gives a property a grade between A and G after an assessment by a qualified energy assessor. The EPC is then made available for the prospective owner to see before renting or purchasing the property so they can have a clear idea of how green and economical their potential new home may be. Great news for the ongoing fight to reduce carbon emissions! If you want to know more about EPC's and how to go about getting one I recommend Just EPC a very well respected UK company with a huge team of qualified energy assessors.
