Frequently Asked Questions

As part of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), October 2008 signals the beginning of the legal requirement to have in your possession an Energy Performance Certificate for on construction dwellings. Ember Energy NI is a provider of the inspection and certification services for the energy performance rating of On Construction buildings.
The certificate will provide the energy rating of the building from A – G, where A is the most efficient. The energy rating is based on the characteristics of the building itself and its services (such as heating and lighting). The certificate is accompanied by a report which includes cost-effective recommendations to improve the energy ratings. For each improvement indicative paybacks are listed.
An On Construction EPC is valid for 10 years. The addition of an extension or a change in the main heating system would trigger the need for a new EPC.
Developers are responsible for ensuring that an Energy Performance Certificate is made available.
