Energy Legislation

When developing an energy management system, energy legislation is becoming increasingly important for organisations to identify priorities in addressing energy efficiency.

Current legal obligations include the climate change levy and climate change agreements, the carbon reduction commitment, and the EU emissions trading scheme.

European Directive on the Energy Performance in Buildings

The European Directive on Energy Performance in Buildings (EPBD) now requires many organisations within the UK to identify energy consumption and energy efficiency within their buildings. This energy legislation includes Display Energy Certificates, Energy Performance Certificates, Boiler Inspections, Air Conditioning Inspections, and Building Regulations.
