Online resources: Summary: Interim guidance note for applying Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to historic and traditional homes. EPCs assess the likely energy performance of homes. They are generated by software using information provided by an assessor. Therefore they make little allowance for the way historic or traditional buildings perform, and should be applied with caution. Efficiency ratings can be misleading. Before applying recommended improvements, owners should consider compatibility of materials with the building fabric, statutory protection or the conservation of historic interest, and the possibility of costs escalating beyond those suggested by the EPC. Includes a general guide to the suitability of various types of improvement.
