Insulation An EPC
provides a rating for your home in its present condition and also a
rating for its potential if certain energy saving improvements are
undertaken. There are several improvements that can be made to any
home, particularly for older UK housing stock. Even new build houses
can be improved to reduce energy consumption, reduce heat losses
around the house, and, consequently reduce the environmental carbon
footprint by reducing carbon emissions. Ensure there is a minimum
thickness of 250mm to minimise heat loss through the upper ceiling
