Building energy to be recorded

What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Building energy to be recorded

The government is to compile a database of information on the energy efficiency of commercial and public buildings in the UK.

The online system will be populated by Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), which hold information on how much a building costs to heat and maintain.

A register has already been set up for EPCs for domestic buildings which will be introduced on 1 August as part of Home Information Packs.

The system will support the registration of energy assessors who inspect buildings, and will interface with the private sector, providing monitoring reports to accreditation schemes.

It will also hold financial data on buildings, so needs to be secure.
