What Does An Assessor Do?
The Energy Performance Certificates are being introduced due to our government’s commitment to reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by 60% in 2050. The level of CO2 into the atmosphere is one of the main causes of climate change. Up to a third of the CO2 emissions are from the UK domestic homes.
The Energy Performance Certificates will be graded on an A to G scale (very similar to your kitchen appliances), with Grade A being outstanding and Grade G being very poor.
A qualified RdSAP assessor will visit your home and look at various elements such as general house details, property dimensions, wall dimensions, wall construction, roof construction, windows, heating systems, mechanical ventilation and extensions to a property.
This data is fed into a computer program, which automatically calculates the ratings and produces an Energy Performance Certificate grading your home as it stands. It will also provide you with recommendations on improving your ratings, if applicable.
(Note:- RdSAP stands for Reduced data Standard Assessment Procedure)
