Commercial Energy AssessorNew commercial buildings that have just been constructed will have to be issued with a commercial energy certificate to show how energy efficient they are. This certificate can show potential buyers or tenants just how efficient the building is and give then a good idea of how much it might cost them to run in the future. The certificate is issued by a
Commercial Energy Assessor who comes out to the site to inspect the property. They look for certain elements as they carry out their survey such as the size of the structure. Other elements that the
Commercial Energy Assessor looks for include what heating and hot water systems are in place. The thermal characteristics of the building are taken into consideration as is the ventilation of the property. Renewable energy sources will be a big plus if they are found in the property. Once the assessment has taken place by the
Commercial Energy Assessor they give the building a rating from A to G. If the building scores A, it`s highly energy efficient, whilst a grade of G means that it`s fairly poor. New commercial properties should be fairly energy efficient and their owners will find out when the energy assessor visits the site.
