EPCs lodged: monthly breakdown from August 2007 released

Domestic Energy Performance Certificates lodged

Submitted by: MikeC (Admin) on 26-Nov-09 04:19:33 PM

John Healey, CLG minister, has, for the first time I believe, released a detailed breakdown of domestic Energy Performance Certificates produced for marketed sales since they became law in August 2007. The stats cover the period up to Nov 1st 2009 as lodged on the HCR Register.

The numbers were released yesterday in response to a written question from Grant Shapps, Tory shadow housing minister.

Notes in 3rd and 4th column correspond to the timeline in the period column (1st).

Added: The total above doesn't add-up: Domestic RdSAP EPCs – 3,494,635 up to 5th November

This begs the question of diminishing returns. With the life of an EPC at 10 years the pool of work will only continue to get smaller.

It has been a steady year this year looking at the figures above but how much of this is rental and how much is sales, that is really what we need to see as it will gives us a little more insight into what lies ahead.

Diminishing returns is right, Peter. I've mentioned this before (somewhere here) but that was before the life of an EPC was extended to 10yrs.

And of course, now that Home Energy Advisors won't be issuing EPCs either, it means there could be a whole enclave of homes that may not get one for several decades.

On a European scale, that's a significant number of houses.

There needs to be an EPBD 3.
