Improving energy efficiency in flats, rented accommodation and office blocks poses particular challenges for landlords, local authorities and housing associations even though they are known to be significant areas of need.
The many different ways that we own accommodation in the UK is the reason it is so difficultm to make solid and consistent improvement to flats and multi-owner accommodation.
However the fast-moving global agenda to cut energy carbon emissions means all landlords, local authorities and housing associations have a pressing duty to ensure their properties are as energy efficient as possible.
Indeed, with the minimum requirement for the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) currently at E and set to rise to D from 2025, the situation is unavoidable.
Although it is always a challenge to undertake works on a multi-occupancy property, it is useful to remember that this is about energy efficiency so any improvements will result in lower energy bills and better functioning equipment designed to last longer.
In today’s property market, eco-friendly improvements are always appealing so any costs should be offset against the increased value of the property. However, it is important to keep realistic market value at the forefront of your mind and ensure spending will deliver a return on investment.
Here are 4 key ways you can improve the energy efficiency of your flats, residential accommodation or office block:
1. Review energy use: It is easy to think about what you could add to the property, however there is also much you can achieve by reviewing your current energy use.
Identifying areas of waste can go a long way to cutting your carbon footprint. Assess the efficiency of the current heating system/s you have in place. Is it the most efficient way to heat the property? When did you last really look at your bills and usage?
For example, lots of landlords, housing associations and local authorities are choosing to install communal heating to save energy across the building whilst slashing the cost of energy bills for tenants.
Remember newer heating systems operate at much better energy efficiency levels so hanging on to an old heating system will be costing you more in the long run and may well hinder the advantages of any improvements you make elsewhere.
2. Smart devices: Technology has bought us many economies and the heating industry is no different.
From thermostats to heating controls, apps on the go, thermostat controls and smart devices, there are a huge number of ways to harness smart technology in your quest to cut your carbon footprint and decrease your energy use.
Upgrading devices and installing new technology is easier than ever so don’t let disruption to tenants put you off improving the ways your manage energy in your property.
Experienced heating companies for the housing sector can have your upgrades installed and running properly in no time although you should ensure any new energy solution is tailored to suit your property.
3. Insulation: Heat can be lost in so many ways so it is really important to include the quality of the insulation in the property during your review.
Inadequate window glazing, improvements to wall insulation, underfloor insulation, loft or ceiling insulation and better duct insulation are just some of the many ways you can ensure energy stays in the property.
4. Contemporary heating systems: From renewable technologies to systems that perform multiple functions, there are now a huge variety of ways to heat your property – all offering fantastic, cost-saving benefits too.
Underfloor heating, thermal energy stores, water source heat pumps, waste water heat recovery devices attached to showers, ground source heat pumps and solar water heating are just some of the many contemporary heating solutions on the market.
Thermal energy stores for example, can keep heat stored for long periods of time through a range of means so you are not constantly heating water and using up energy.
Whatever the changes you choose to make, ensure they are bespoke, quality solutions, guaranteed to have a significant impact on your tenants energy use across the board.
