UK homes to be rated for energy efficiency
The UK technology paper The Register is reporting UK homes to be rated for energy efficiency.
From June next year, all homes in England and Wales must be given an energy efficiency rating before they can be sold. The government says the move, which is in line with European agreements, will help the UK reduce its carbon emissions.
This is fantastic news. It encourages people to get informed about their own energy use and take steps to reduce it. They do a similar thing in parts of Australia too. People will pay more for a house with a better energy rating. — DS
