Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative). It was answered by Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) on Thursday, 2 July 2009.


Energy Performance Certificates

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have assessed the level of compliance with the requirement to provide energy performance certificates for buildings being sold in the commercial property sector.
Answer

My Lords, no assessment has been made. Energy performance certificates have only been required for all non-domestic buildings constructed, sold or rented since October 2008. Local weights and measures authorities are responsible for enforcing these requirements. We support them in carrying out their duties by providing guidance and access to the EPC register and database. We will assess the level of compliance later this year.
