Based on standardised assumptions about occupancy, heating patterns and geographical location, theabove table provides an indication of how much it will cost to provide lighting, heating and hot water to thishome. The fuel costs only take into account the cost of fuel and not any associated service, maintenance orsafety inspection. This certificate has been provided for comparative purposes only and enables one hometo be compared with another. Always check the date the certificate was issued, because fuel prices canincrease over time and energy saving recommendations will evolve.

The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessmentundertaken by a qualified assessor, accredited by BRE Certification, to a scheme authorised by theGovernment. This certificate was produced using the RdSAP 2005 assessment methodology and has beenproduced under the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections)(England and Wales)Regulations 2007. A copy of the certificate has been lodged on a national register.
Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are on the certificate. You can get contactdetails of the accreditation scheme from our website at www.breassessor.co.uk together with details of theirprocedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.
The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and itsenvironmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factorssuch as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average energyefficiency rating for a dwelling in England and Wales is band E (rating 46).
Not all buildings are used in the same way, so energy ratings use 'standard occupancy' assumptions whichmay be different from the specific way you use your building. Different methods of calculation are used forhomes and for other buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd
Buildings that are more energy efficient use less energy, save money and help protect the environment. Abuilding with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbonemissions. The potential ratings in the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all thecost effective recommended improvements were implemented.
One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildingscauses emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over aquarter of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further one-sixth.
The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting therecommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduceemissions even more by switching to renewable energy sources. In addition there are many simple everyday measures that will save money, improve comfort and reduce the impact on the environment, such as:

Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21°C in the living room issuggested) and use the timer to ensure you only heat the building when necessary.Make sure your hot water is not too hot - a cylinder thermostat need not normally be higher than 60°CTurn off lights when not needed and do not leave appliances on standby. Remember not to leave chargers(e.g. for mobile phones) turned on when you are not using them.

The measures below are cost effective. The performance ratings after improvement listed below arecumulative, that is they assume the improvements have been installed in the order that they appear in thetable.
The further measures listed below should be considered in addition to those already specified if aiming forthe highest possible standards for this home.
Improvements to the energy efficiency and environmental impact ratings will usually be in step with eachother. However, they can sometimes diverge because reduced energy costs are not always accompanied

These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may beinstalled as DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward, and sometimes there are health and safetyrisks, so take advice before carrying out DIY improvements.
Loft Insulation laid in the loft space or between roof rafters to a depth of at least 250 mm will significantlyreduce heat loss through the roof; this will improve the levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuelbills. Insulation should not be placed below any cold water storage tank, any such tank should also beinsulated on its sides and top, and there should be boarding on battens over the insulation to provide safeaccess between the loft hatch and the cold water tank. The insulation can be installed by professionalcontractors but also by a capable DIY enthusiast. Loose granules may be used instead of insulation quilt;this form of loft insulation can be blown into place and can be useful where access is difficult. The loftspace must have adequate ventilation to prevent dampness; seek advice about this if unsure.
Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs overthe lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selectinglow energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist ofDomestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.
A room thermostat will increase the efficiency of the heating system by enabling the boiler to switch offwhen no heat is required; this will reduce the amount of energy used and lower fuel bills. Thermostaticradiator valves should also be installed, to allow the temperature of each room to be controlled to suitindividual needs, adding to comfort and reducing heating bills provided internal doors are kept closed. Forexample, they can be set to be warmer in the living room and bathroom than in the bedrooms. Ask acompetent heating engineer to install thermostatic radiator valves and a fully pumped system with thepump and the boiler turned off by the room thermostat. Thermostatic radiator valves should be fitted toevery radiator except for the radiator in the same room as the room thermostat. Remember the roomthermostat is needed as well as the thermostatic radiator valves, to enable the boiler to switch off when noheat is required.
Further measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home
Double glazing is the term given to a system where two panes of glass are made up into a sealed unit.Replacing existing single-glazed windows with double glazing will improve comfort in the home by reducingdraughts and cold spots near windows. Double-glazed windows may also reduce noise, improve securityand combat problems with condensation. Building Regulations apply to this work, so either use a contractorwho is registered with a competent persons scheme¹ or obtain advice from your local authority buildingcontrol department.
Solid wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to either the inside or the outside surface of theexternal walls, which reduces heat loss and lowers fuel bills. As it is relatively expensive it is onlyrecommended for walls without a cavity, or where for technical reasons a cavity cannot be filled. Internalinsulation, known as dry-lining, is where a layer of insulation is fixed to the inside surface of external walls;this type of insulation is best applied when rooms require redecorating and can be installed by a competentDIY enthusiast. External solid wall insulation is the application of an insulant and a weather-protective finishto the outside of the wall. This may improve the look of the home, particularly where existing brickwork orrendering is poor, and will provide long-lasting weather protection. The External Wall Insulation Associationkeeps a register of professional installers. It should be noted that planning permission might be required.
