Energy Performance Certificates
The BBC has reported the new legislation for Energy Performance certificates in Northern Ireland.
They have indicated that The Department of Finance and Personnel from next week, will run public seminars across Northern Ireland to explain the new requirements which begin in just five weeks time.
The certificate is an indication of how energy efficient a home is and the system is already in place in England and Wales.
Anyone selling their home from 1 July will have to pay for a special energy assessor to survey it and give it a formal certificate.
From October, all new homes will have to have one as soon as they are built.
The certificates are seen as a way to encourage NI home owners to make their houses more energy efficient and to provide some guidance to prospective buyers on how much it will cost to heat a home.
