Amends: The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012
The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 lay down the requirements for Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) when buildings are constructed, sold or rented out; for Display Energy Certificates (DECs) to be displayed in large public buildings; and for the regular inspection of certain air-conditioning systems.
Various duties apply and are available to view on The Legislation Update Service.
The keeper of the register (the Secretary of State), accreditation schemes and energy assessors are allowed to share assessment data* on the energy performance of a particular building with the owner, landlord or occupier of that building. Data on air conditioning systems can also be shared with anyone who has control of that system.
*Assessment data is any data collected during an energy assessment, regardless of whether it is entered on the register.
The keeper of the register may publish on a website bulk access data relating to any building appearing on the register unless the individual building owners or occupiers have requested that data on their building is not published.
Schedule B1, containing the specified data items for online publication, is revoked.
