Second Part
The second part of the EPC is cost effective recommendations for improving the energy performance of the home, information on renewable energy and recommendations on energy efficient behaviour. The DEA will have to interpret whether these are practical.
Example:
The EPC does not consider any appliances e.g. fridges, TVs or any light fittings that are plugged in. It also does not consider the occupant's usage of the home. The EPCs gives its calculations based on a standard occupancy, a standard heating pattern and a generic locality.
By assuming these factors it enables potential buyers to compare one property's energy efficiency to another.
