The Energy  Performance Certificate illustrates  a chart that is is similar to the charts now provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.

The purpose of the certificate is to record how energy-efficient a property is .The certificate will provide a rating of the property from A to G, where A is very efficient and G is very inefficient.

Two ratings are shown.The energy-efficiency rating is a measure of a home's overall efficiency. The higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the home is, and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be. The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home's impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (C02) emissions - the higher the rating, the less impact it has on the environment.

Each rating is based on the performance of the building itself and its services (such as heating and lighting), rather than the domestic appliances within it. This is known as an asset rating. The certificate also lists the potential rating of the building if all the cost-effective measures were installed.

The ratings will vary according to the age, location, size and condition of the building. The potential rating on the certificate will take these factors into account, and the suggested measures will be tailored so that they are realistic for the particular building.
