Dal 1 aprile 2018 non si potrá piú dare in locazione un immobile commerciale che abbia un certificato energetico con un rating inferiore a E mentre dal 1 aprile 2023 lo stesso criterio si applicherá anche per locazioni pre-esistenti, sempre di immobili commerciali.
Chi ha immobili commerciali dovrebbe inziare ora a valutare le certificazioni energetiche degli immobili e iniziare a pianificare i lavori necessari.
Under the Energy Act 2011, from April 2018, it will be unlawful to let properties that fail to achieve a prescribed minimum energy performance standard until qualifying improvements have been carried out. It is expected that this minimum standard will be equivalent to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E. As a result, owners of properties with EPC ratings of F or G will, in some circumstances, no longer be able to let these properties until their energy efficiency has been addressed. With nearly 75,000 commercial premises having EPC certificates rated F or G and a further 65,000 with an E certificate, this policy has the potential to have a dramatic impact on levels of investment in the energy efficiency of our existing buildings.
