Agreement on the EPBD recast was reached this week between the EU Commission, Parliament and Council of Ministers. Though not clear, the publication of the recast is expected in December. It is understood that the headline aspects of the agreement are:
• Inclusion of information from the EPC in agents marketing materials;
• Strengthening of standards relating to new build and refurbishment;
• Display requirements for public and private buildings over 500m2 that are frequently visited by the public;
The requirement for EPC details to be included in marketing materials is extremely good news for the HIP industry and perhaps bad news for the Conservative Party given the complications this will cause if Government decides ( and has the time) to implement the agreement before the next election. See my previous article of this subject: http://bit.ly/16IHTx
Once published, Member States will have 2 years within which to incorporate the agreed changes/enhancements.
