So it seems that the quietly released new timetable for commercial EPCs seems to be following the implementation of the housing certificates - big first, then rolled out to smaller properties. I'm not sure this is a response to market concerns, but more that the department is not ready yet for the implementation. And similarly to the housing side are there enough assessors to check commercial and public buildings?
Well An eagle eyed Building reader spotted another little trumpeted new announcement on the DCLG website, inviting organisations to apply to gain accreditation to become an assessor, which he clearly saw as a significant reason behind the delayed rollout of EPCs. "They seem to be keeping this all rather quiet," he writes. I'm wondering whether the Government will get wrapped on the knuckles at all by the European Union for failing to hit its original timetable.
