- The Potential Success Of Energy Performance Certificates
By: Dominic Donaldson | - Loss of energy through badly insulated houses accounts for around forty per cent of carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union. This means that buildings with poor energy efficiency are actually responsible for more emissions than all the vehicles on the roads at present in Europe. In a bid to reduce the emissions from homes, governments have introduced an Energy Performance Certificate. We take a look at what this means, and if it is possible to combat global warming with this type of legi ...

- Energy Performance Certificate Gets Green Light
By: Dominic Donaldson | - The G8 summit is well under way, and for the first time all the countries have agreed that global temperatures should not rise more than a further two degrees. This means that emissions of greenhouse gasses need to be slashed by fifty to eighty per cent by 2050, a target that some speculate may be impossible. It seems that although governments have recognised the need for action, there is no definitive plan of action to follow. We take a look at how the UK government are trying to meet targets t ...
