To enable this comparison the figures have been calculated using standardised running conditions (heating periods, room temperature, etc.) that are the same for all homes, consequently they are unlikely to match an occupier's actual fuel bills and carbon emissions in practice. The figures do not include the impacts of the fuels used for cooking or running appliances, such as TV, fridge etc.; nor do they reflect the costs associated with service, maintenance or safety inspections. Always check the certificate date because fuel prices can change over time and energy saving recommendations will evolve. To see how this home can achieve its potential rating please see the recommended measures. Remember to look for the energy saving recommended logo when buying energyefficient products. It's a quick and easy way to identify the most energyefficient products on the market.

Energy Performance Certificate

About this document The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessment undertaken by a qualified assessor, accredited by the NHER Accreditation Scheme, to a scheme authorised by the Government. This certificate was produced using the RdSAP 2005 assessment methodology and has been produced under the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 as amended. A copy of the certificate has been lodged on a national register. Assessor's accreditation number: SAVA004822 Assessor's name:

If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are as above. You can get contact details of the accreditation scheme from their website at www.nher.co.uk together with details of their procedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.
About the building's performance ratings The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and its environmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average Energy Efficiency 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 which may be different from the specific way you use your home. Different methods of calculation are used for homes 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. A building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbon emissions. The potential ratings on the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all the cost effective recommended improvements were implemented.
About the impact of buildings on the environment One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildings causes emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over a quarter of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further onesixth. The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting the recommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions 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. Some examples are given at the end of this report.

Recommendations
27Jul2010 RRN: 07712883613993207425
About the cost effective measures to improve this home's performance ratings If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work. Lower cost measures (typically up to £500 each) These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice before carrying out DIY improvements.
1 Low energy lighting Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.
About the further measures to achieve even higher standards Further measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home. You should check the conditions in any covenants, planning conditions, warranties or sale contracts before undertaking any of these measures. If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work.
2 Solar water heating A solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to preheat the hot water supply. This will significantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money. The Solar Trade Association has uptodate information on local installers and any grant that may be available. 3 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has uptodate information on local installers who are qualified electricians and on any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme¹, and can therefore selfcertify the work for Building Regulation compliance. The assessment does not include the effect of any feedin tariff, which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on this EPC for solar photovoltaic panels. 4 Wind turbine A wind turbine provides electricity from wind energy. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Wind Energy Association has uptodate information on suppliers of smallscale wind systems and any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme¹, and can therefore selfcertify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Wind turbines are not suitable for all properties. The system’s effectiveness depends on local wind speeds and the presence of nearby obstructions, and a site survey should be undertaken by an accredited installer. The assessment does not include the effect of any feedin tariff, which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on this EPC for a wind turbine.

Recommendations
27Jul2010 RRN: 07712883613993207425
What can I do today? Actions that will save money and reduce the impact of your home on the environment include: Ensure that you understand the dwelling and how its energy systems are intended to work so as to obtain the maximum benefit in terms of reducing energy use and CO2 emissions. Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21°C in the living room is suggested) and use the timer to ensure that 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°C. Turn 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. Close your curtains at night to reduce heat escaping through the windows. If you're not filling up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the halfload or economy programme.

The figures do not include the impacts of the fuels used for cooking or running appliances, such as TV, fridge etc.; nor do they reflect the costs associated with service, maintenance or safety inspections. Always check the certificate date because fuel prices can change over time and energy saving recommendations will evolve. To see how this home can achieve its potential rating please see the recommended measures. Remember to look for the energy saving recommended logo when buying energyefficient products. It's a quick and easy way to identify the most energyefficient products on the market. This EPC and recommendations report may be given to the Energy Saving Trust to provide you with information on improving your dwelling’s energy performance.

If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are as above. You can get contact details of the accreditation scheme from their website at www.nher.co.uk together with details of their procedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.
About the building's performance ratings The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and its environmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average Energy Efficiency 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 which may be different from the specific way you use your home. Different methods of calculation are used for homes 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. A building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbon emissions. The potential ratings on the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all the cost effective recommended improvements were implemented.
About the impact of buildings on the environment One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildings causes emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over a quarter of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further onesixth. The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting the recommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions 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. Some examples are given at the end of this report.

About the cost effective measures to improve this home's performance ratings If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work. Lower cost measures (typically up to £500 each) These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice before carrying out DIY improvements.
1 Low energy lighting Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.
About the further measures to achieve even higher standards Further measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home. You should check the conditions in any covenants, planning conditions, warranties or sale contracts before undertaking any of these measures. If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work.
2 Solar water heating A solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to preheat the hot water supply. This will significantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money. The Solar Trade Association has uptodate information on local installers and any grant that may be available. 3 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has uptodate information on local installers who are qualified electricians and on any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme¹, and can therefore selfcertify the work for Building Regulation compliance. The assessment does not include the effect of any feedin tariff, which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on this EPC for solar photovoltaic panels. 4 Wind turbine A wind turbine provides electricity from wind energy. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Wind Energy Association has uptodate information on suppliers of smallscale wind systems and any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme¹, and can therefore selfcertify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Wind turbines are not suitable for all properties. The system’s effectiveness depends on local wind speeds and the presence of nearby obstructions, and a site survey should be undertaken by an accredited installer. The assessment does not include the effect of any feedin tariff, which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on this EPC for a wind turbine.

What can I do today? Actions that will save money and reduce the impact of your home on the environment include: Ensure that you understand the dwelling and how its energy systems are intended to work so as to obtain the maximum benefit in terms of reducing energy use and CO2 emissions. Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21°C in the living room is suggested) and use the timer to ensure that 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°C. Turn 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. Close your curtains at night to reduce heat escaping through the windows. If you're not filling up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the halfload or economy programme.
