Energy ratings are the starting point for energy efficiency, we have to start with identifying the problem before we can find the right solution. Once the efficiency problems with a property are identified, a realistic time based action plan for improvements can be put into place.

From June 2007 anyone selling their home will need to provide an Energy Certificate which will form the basis of the Home Information Pack or sellers pack.

The energy certificate will provide the house buyer with information on what improvements could be made to the property to make it more efficient, and how energy efficient the property already is.

Over recent years energy assessments have been carried out on industrial and commercial properties because the savings made there can be so high it generally pays for the cost of assessments, although for domestic market most improvements have quite a long payback period and the cost of the energy assessment is just another cost to factor into the equation.

At ECO-SURVEY we think eventually the government will link council tax to efficiency rather than house price, as both are rated from A-G. In pilot schemes for the H.I.P local government as already introduced incentives for being energy efficient.

When this happens the payback period for making improvements like solar will be reduced because of savings made from both fuel bills and local government taxes. This will encouraging us all to be more aware of energy efficiency, and help us pay for implementing new green technologies.
