Reduce Your Commercial
Energy Assessment Costs
The EPBD directive has potentially enormous consequences for
commercial property landlords.
From October 2008, almost all commercial properties offered
for sale or lease will have to have an energy certificate that
gives the building an energy rating.
In addition, the commercial EPC comes with a whole host
of recommendations for energy improvement relating to that
particular building.
The recommendations are produced automatically by the
software used to calculate the energy rating of the
building.
When the energy certificate is produced, it has to be lodged
with a recognised agency, along with the recommendations for
improvement.
Naturally, any prospective purchaser or tenant will receive
a copy of the certificate and the recommendations contained
within.
If you were the prospective purchaser or tenant, how would
you be likely to use this information at the key negotiation
stage?
In many cases, when a property becomes vacant, landlords
will want to place the property back on the market as soon as
possible.
In order to be able to do so, they will need an energy
performace certificate, as they are required before the
property is marketed or offered for sale or lease.
Because we handle commercial property issues on a daily
basis, we look at the commercial EPC differently to a
normal commercial energy assessor who in all likelihood, won't
have our level of commercial buildings experience.
Our approach is to provide advice before you have the energy
survey conducted.
We believe that we can save landlords considerable sums of
money, not only in the physical cost of the survey, but also in
other areas that most commercial energy assessors won't even be
aware of or concerned with.
Naturally, we don't want to give all of our secrets away on
a web site, we reserve those exclusively for our clients.
