Call for refurbishment
The refurbishment of non-domestic buildings would have a significant positive impact on reducing carbon emissions, whilst also bringing savings in operational costs.

Building fabric a major influence on energy rating
Display Energy Certificates (DECs) are here to stay, so it is important to get the best results from the energy audit. Recent calculations have highlighted that having a thermally efficient building envelope can be a major contributor to the energy efficiency rating. Industry body EPIC (Engineered Panels in Construction) examines the issues and explains the benefits insulated panel systems can offer in helping to achieve a good DEC rating.

Insulated panels can maximise EPCs
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for all buildings being built, sold or rented are now a fact of life. EPIC (Engineered Panels in Construction) examines the issues that are surrounding EPCs and explains the benefits insulated panel systems can offer in helping to achieve a good rating.
