The environmental impact rating is a measure of ahome's impact on the environment in terms ofcarbon dioxide (CO ) emissions. The higher therating the less impact it has on the environment.The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the ratingthe more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be. 2

Estimated energy use, carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions and fuel costs of this home2PotentialCurrent

Based on standardised assumptions about occupancy, heating patterns and geographical location, the abovetable provides an indication of how much it will cost to provide lighting, heating and hot water to this home.The fuel costs only take into account the cost of fuel and not any associated service, maintenance or safetyinspection. This certificate has been provided for comparative purposes only and enables one home to becompared with another. Always check the date the certificate was issued, because fuel prices can increaseover time and energy saving recommendations will evolve.To see how this home can achieve its potential rating please see the recommended measures.

The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessmentundertaken by a qualified assessor, accredited by Northgate Information Solutions, to a scheme authorised by the Government. 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 as amended. A copy of the certificate has been lodged on a national register.

About this document

Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are as above. You can get contactdetails of the accreditation scheme from their website at http://www.northgate-dea.co.uk/ together with details of their procedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.

If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine

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 on the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all thecost effective recommended improvements were implemented.

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 home. Different methods of calculation are used forhomes and for other buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd.

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 Energy EfficiencyRating for a dwelling in England and Wales is band E (rating 46).

About the building's performance ratings

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 the recommendationsin this report can reduce and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions even more byswitching to renewable energy sources. In addition there are many simple everyday measures that will savemoney, improve comfort and reduce the impact on the environment. Some examples are given at the end of this report.

Improvements to the energy efficiency and environmental impact ratings will usually be in step with each other. However, they can sometimes diverge because reduced energy costs are not always accompanied by a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions. 2

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.

Lower cost measures (typically up to £500 each)

About the cost effective measures to improve this home's performance ratingsIf 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.

Hot water cylinder insulation1Increasing the thickness of existing insulation by adding an 80 mm cylinder jacket around the hot water cylinder will help maintain the water at the required temperature; this will reduce the amount of energy used and lower fuel bills. The jacket should be fitted over the top of the existing foam insulation and over any thermostat clamped to the cylinder. Hot water pipes from the hot water cylinder should also be insulated, using pre-formed pipe insulation of up to 50 mm thickness, or to suit the space available, for as far as they can be accessed to reduce losses in summer. All these materials can be purchased from DIY stores and installed by a competent DIY enthusiast.Low energy lighting2Replacement 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.Higher cost measures (typically over £500 each)

Fan assisted storage heaters3Modern storage heaters are smaller and easier to control than the older type in the property. Ask for a quotation for new, fan-assisted heaters with automatic charge control. As installations should be in accordance with the current regulations covering electrical wiring, only a qualified electrician should carry out the installation. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme¹, and can therefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Ask a qualified electrical heating engineer to explain the options which might also include switching to other forms of electric heating.About the further measures to achieve even higher standards

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 CO emissions.2Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21ºC 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 60ºC.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 half-load or economy programme.
