As a reminder for you if you are involved with commercial property projects, there are two sections of this directive which affect commercial property:

The important dates to note from this directive are that from October 2008, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) have been mandatory upon construction, sale, or rental of any non-domestic building, whether new or existing.

A new user of a system must have in their possession a copy of a current Air-conditioning report within 3 months of taking over a system.
