​Our green energy plan has finally come to fruition.  After months of demanding work, paperwork, investment and just a little waiting I finally managed to get an updated EPC (Energy Performance Certificate).

When we bought the building back in November 2012, the EPC rating as a mere G.  We’ve now achieved a B (42) rating, a massive leap from the previous G, without spoiling any of the original Edwardian character, and in early 2014 voltage optimization was added to reduce our consumption even further.

The certification demonstrates our desire to turn the building from an uncomfortable fridge into a cozy and comfortable ‘space to thrive’ was achieved.  We did the following:
  • New roof and loft insulation
  • New Worcester Greenstar gas boiler
  • Thermaboards on renewed walls
  • PIR LED or T5 lighting through offices, common walkways, and cloakrooms etc.
  • Solar tube – installed on the first-floor landing to make maximum use of daylight and used a roof light in the orangery to minimize the need for lights.
  • Solar panels from Dulas
  • Triple glazed windows with ADG windows
  • Renovated original sash windows with Ventrolla double glazing

Initially, there is a lot of investment, but it is well worthwhile.  The EPC is a requirement for prospective office tenants and a prerequisite for a FIT (Feed in Tariff) application.  As a micro-generator of renewable energy through our solar panels, we now don’t need to buy so much electricity in.  We are also contracted to buy in any surplus we need from Good Energy, a proactively renewable supplier.

Smiles all around!
