What can be done to improve a BER for an existing dwelling?
• Building energy performance options might include measures such as: • insulating the hot water cylinder and pipework; • increasing the insulation in the walls/ attic/floor; • installing advanced energy efficient glazing; • replacing an old or inefficient boiler with a more efficient boiler; • installing modern heating controls; • installing certain types of renewable energy heating systems. For this reason, the advisory report will be a key document in relation to existing dwellings. It may be particularly useful to those who have just purchased an existing dwelling which they plan to improve or remodel in their early stages of occupation.
