Want to embrace a more energy-efficient lifestyle?​

To live a truly energy-efficient lifestyle, there are many things you can do and choices you can make in addition to keeping your home well maintained. With energy-efficient home renovations, you can reduce your carbon footprint, lower your costs and live more comfortably.

Small choices make a big difference

The choices we make every day may seem small but they make a big difference. The more people who stop spending money unnecessarily or choose to live in energy-efficient homes, the bigger the impact we can have together. 

Energy performance certificate

An energy performance certificate is an official document indicating the energy efficiency of a building. It helps prospective buyers or tenants compare the energy efficiency of different properties. 

When applying for a building permit for a new building, the property owner must order the energy performance certificate. Energy performance certificates are also required for properties, or parts of properties, being sold or let. 

A property’s energy performance certificate must be available to any potential buyers or tenants as soon as you start to market a property for sale or rent. Read more about energy performance certificates.
