What happens if the building gets a poor energy efficiency rating?
A poor rating would indicate that the building could be more energy efficient. It is not unusual for older premises to have a poor rating and clients should not be unduly worried by such a rating. However, following the survey, the Assessor may well identify a number of ways in which the building’s energy efficiency could be improved at minimal cost. This may then provide more favourable reading to any intended purchaser/tenant. These Recommendations will be listed in the Recommendation Report that is be prepared at the same time as the Energy Performance Certificate.
