It has been reported to Pali ltd that some local authority building control departments are receiving standard domestic EPC’s (RdSAP) for newly constructed dwellings.
Since 6th April 2008 when a new building or a conversion from a non-dwelling to a dwelling is due to be signed off by building control it must have an On Construction SAP Calculation and an On Construction EPC. Not an RdSAP. This can be established on page two under “About this document”.
If the dwelling was completed before 6th April 2008 it will still have to have the full EPC produced by an On Construction Energy Assessor.
Any dwelling that has not yet been signed off by building control must have a Predictive Energy Assessment (PEA) before it can be marketed for sale or let.
Pali can assist in the production of all the different types of EPC required for developments or HIP’s. If you have any queries please contact Steve or Phil on 0151 691 1170. or phil@paliltd.com
