A recent survey, as highlighted by MBS Journal this month, has stated that only 28% of commercial properties marketed for sale or lease have the legally required EPC. Even worse is the inspection of cooling systems (Air Conditioning Inspections) - with CIBSE estimating that fewer than 2% of the 50,000 installed systems with cooling capacities over 250kW had been installed by a year after the original deadline of 6 January 2009.

By installing an efficient heating system household energy bills and CO2 emissions will be greatly reduced. Domestic heating accounts for 14% of the UK’s CO2 emissions and improving this will go some way to meeting our CO2 emission targets. Currently 3.5 million homes have the least efficient type of boiler (G or worse)
