• EPC’s will be required for all commercial buildings with a floor area over 10,000m² when construction, sold or rented

1st July 2008
• EPC’s will be required for all commercial buildings with a floor area over 2,500m² when constructed, sold or rented

1st October 2008
• EPC’s required on the construction, sale or renting of any commercial properties
• Energy Certificates must be displayed in all public buildings over 1,000m²
