Energy Efficiency Updates and Retrofit for Surveyors

The EPC remains influential but imperfect, and major updates are coming that will affect surveyors. Government proposals include revised EPC metrics, possible new energy-related requirements in home surveys, and alignment with the Future Homes Standard. A new Home Energy Model will replace existing methodologies, while emerging standards such as the RICS retrofit method and BS 40104 will introduce more consistent, evidence-based approaches to assessing and advising on retrofit.

Led by Professor Richard Fitton of Salford University – member of the RICS Retrofit Standard committee.
