answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/08/2024 answer text <p>Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are intended to provide prospective buyers and tenants with a guide to the energy costs of different properties, which is simple to understand and allows comparison between properties.</p><p> </p><p>A standardised methodology is used in the assessments of EPCs. The current methodology can be found <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/method-for-calculating-the-energy-performance-of-buildings-notice-of-approval" target="_blank">here</a>. The software used to calculate EPC ratings in existing properties is the Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure (RdSAP).</p><p> </p><p>Not all buildings are used in the same way, so the energy rating uses ‘standard occupancy’ assumptions which may be different from the way the building is used. We acknowledge that occupant behaviour is an important factor in determining the energy use of buildings. Encouraging occupants to use buildings more efficiently will be important in achieving the net zero target.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Taylor of Stevenage question first answered 09/08/2024 11:31:37 answering member 4956 label Biography information for Baroness Taylor of Stevenage attachment 1 file name HL396 - Method for calculating the energy performance of buildings_ notice of approval - GOV.UK.pdf title The current methodology
