An EPC and its associated recommendations RR give consumers, for the first time, information about domestic energy efficiency of properties and practical steps to reduce carbon emissions and save on energy bills... In due course buyers may have the opportunity to obtaining green mortgages which fund the improvements suggested in the EPC and council tax rebates to encourage energy efficiency.
