The Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2008
These Regulations further transpose Article 7 (energy performance certificates), Article 3 (adoption of a methodology) and partially transpose Article 4(3) of Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (“the Directive”) in Scotland. The Directive lays down requirements for the production of energy performance certificates when buildings are to be sold or rented out. The Regulations also provide for the display of certificates in public buildings. The term “building” is defined in Article 2 of the Directive.
