Page 1 of 5 4, Ryecroft, Longfield Hill, LONGFIELD, DA3 7AU Energy Performance Certificate 19 February 2008 RRN: 0646 -2851 -6620 -0098 -2645 About this document The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessment undertaken by a qualified assessor, accredited by the NHER Accreditation Scheme, to a scheme authorised by the Government. This certificate was produced using the RdSAP 2005 assessment methodology and has been produced under the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007. A copy of the certificate has been lodged on a national register.
Assessor's accreditation number: NHER000400 Assessor's name: Mrs Sarah Rumsey Company name/trading name: Progenix Ltd Address: 29 Istead Rise, Gravesend, Kent, DA13 9JE Phone number: 07912102593 Fax number: E-mail address: [email protected]
If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are on the certificate. You can get contact details of the accreditation scheme from our website at www.nher.co.uk together with details of their procedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.
About the building's performance ratings The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and its environmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average energy efficiency rating for a dwelling in England and Wales is band E (rating 46).
Not all buildings are used in the same way, so energy ratings use 'standard occupancy' assumptions which may be different from the specific way you use your building. Different methods of calculation are used for homes and for other buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd
Buildings that are more energy efficient use less energy, save money and help protect the environment. A building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbon emissions. The potential ratings in the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all the cost effective recommended improvements were implemented.
About the impact of buildings on the environment One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildings causes emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over a quarter of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further one -sixth.
The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting the recommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions even more by switching to renewable energy sources. In addition there are many simple every day measures that will save money, improve comfort and reduce the impact on the environment, such as:
Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21 °C in the living room is suggested) and use the timer to ensure that you only heat the building when necessary. Make sure your hot water is not too hot - a cylinder thermostat need not normally be higher than 60 °C Turn off lights when not needed and do not leave appliances on standby. Remember not to leave chargers (e.g. for mobile phones) turned on when you are not using them. Visit the Government's website at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd to:

2 Replace boiler with Band A condensing boiler £81 C 70 C 69
Total £120 Potential energy efficiency rating C 70
Potential environmental impact (CO 2) rating C 69
Further measures to achieve even higher standards
The further measures listed below should be considered in addition to those already specified if aiming for the highest possible standards for this home.
Higher cost measures
3 Solar water heating £20 C 71 C 71
4 Solar photovoltaics panels, 25% of roof area £60 C 74 C 74 Enhanced energy efficiency rating C 74
Enhanced environmental impact (CO 2) rating C 74
Improvements to the energy efficiency and environmental impact ratings will usually be in step with each other. However, they can sometimes diverge because reduced energy costs are not always accompanied by a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO ²) emissions.
Page 4 of 5 4, Ryecroft, Longfield Hill, LONGFIELD, DA3 7AU Recommendations 19 February 2008 RRN: 0646 -2851 -6620 -0098 -2645 About the cost effective measures to improve this home's performance ratings
Lower cost measures (typically up to £500 each)
These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice before carrying out DIY improvements.
1 Low energy lighting Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.
Higher cost measures (typically over £500 each)
2 Band A condensing boiler A condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needs repair or replacement, but there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensing boilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodelling the room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchen makeover). Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme 1, and can therefore self -certify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Ask a qualified heating engineer to explain the options.
About the further measures to achieve even higher standards
Further measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home.
3 Solar water heating A solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to pre -heat the hot water supply. This will significantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money. The Solar Trade Association has up -to -date information on local installers and any grant that may be available.
4 Solar photovoltaics (PV) panels A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has up -to -date information on local installers who are qualified electricians and any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme 1, and can therefore self -certify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Ask a suitably qualified electrician to explain the options.

Housing and Neighbourhood
People
The predominant family type for this area is:
Couples and Families in Modern Rural and Suburban Developments
These areas are home to younger couples and families with children. Population densities in these suburban, rural and seaside areas are much lower than the UK norm. These are mainly owner occupiers living in a mix of modern and sizable flats, semi-detached and detached residences. House prices lie around the average with council tax bands generally being C, D or E. Few have lived in these areas for more than three years and many have only recently moved there. This populace has had a good education, with a significant proportion of residents reaching degree level or higher. They tend to be an aspiring group either starting out in their careers or reaching comfortable heights. Whilst some have professional appointments, others have reasonably well paid white and blue collar jobs. There are significantly more Directors to be found in these neighbourhoods than across the nation as a whole. On the whole these are an economically active population with unemployment levels much lower than the average. Because of their out of the way locations, car ownership levels are high with a good proportion of houses having two cars. Most are likely to read a broadsheet newspaper and are relatively serious magazine readers. Although typically more than average utilise consumer credit facilities, they are well able to finance their commitments and therefore represent a low credit risk.

For your guidance: • The boundary of the property has been determined by reference to the plan supplied. Where a plan was not supplied the Ordnance Survey Record was used. • “Low water pressure” means water pressure below the regulatory reference level, which is the minimum pressure when demand on the system is not abnormal. • Water Companies are required to include in the Regulatory Register that is presented annually to the Director General of Water Services, properties receiving pressure below the reference level, provided that allowable exclusions do not apply (i.e. events which can cause pressure to temporarily fall below the reference level) • The reference level of service is a flow of 9 litres/minute at a pressure of 10metres / head on the customer's side of the main stop tap (mst). The reference level of service must be applied on the customer's side of a meter or any other company fittings that are on the customer's side of the main stop tap. The reference level applies to a single property. Where more than one property is served by a common service pipe, the flow assumed in the reference level must be appropriately increased to take account of the total number of properties served. For two properties, a flow of 18 litres/minute at a pressure of 10metres head on the customers' side of the mst is appropriate. For three or more properties the appropriate flow should be calculated from the standard loadings provided in BS6700 or the Institute of Plumbing handbook. • Allowable exclusions The Company is required to include in the Regulatory Register properties receiving pressure below the reference level, provided that allowable exclusions listed below do not apply. • Abnormal demand: This exclusion is intended to cover abnormal peaks in demand and not the daily, weekly or monthly peaks in demand, which are normally expected. Companies should exclude from the reported DG2 figures properties, which are affected by low pressure only on those days with the highest peak demands. During the report year companies may exclude, for each property, up to five days of low pressure caused by peak demand. • Planned maintenance: Companies should not report under DG2 (Low Pressure Register) low pressures caused by planned maintenance. It is not intended that companies identify the number of properties affected in each instance. However, companies must maintain sufficiently Thames Water Utilities Ltd accurate records to verify that low-pressure incidents that are excluded Property Insight from DG2 because of planned maintenance are actually caused by PO Box 3189 Slough SL1 4WW maintenance. • One-off incidents: This exclusion covers a number of causes of low DX 151280 Slough 13
pressure; mains bursts; failures of company equipment (such as T 0118 925 1504 F 0118 923 6655/57 pressure reducing valves or booster pumps); firefighting; and action by E [email protected] a third party. However, if problems of this type affect a property I www.twpropertyinsight.co.uk
frequently, they cannot be classed as one-off events and further Registered in England and Wales No. 2366661, Registered office investigation will be required before they can be excluded. Clearwater Court, Vastern Road Reading RG1 8DB

• Low-pressure incidents of short duration: Properties affected by low pressures, which only occur for a short period, and for which there is evidence that incidents of a longer duration would not occur during the course of the year, may be excluded from the reported DG2 figures. • Please contact your water company mentioned in Question 12 if you require further information.
Q23 – Please include details of a water quality analysis made by the water undertaker for the water supply zone in respect of the most recent calendar year.
The analysis confirmed that all tests met the standards prescribed by the 2000 Regulations or the 2001 Regulations.
For your guidance: • Thames Water investigates all infringements of drinking water quality standards and takes appropriate corrective actions to resolve any problems. If there were any risk to public health from the quality of drinking water supplied, the Company would have informed customers immediately and advised not to drink the water until the issue had been resolved. • Water companies have a duty to provide wholesome water that meets the standards of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000. However, the householder is responsible for any deterioration in water quality that is a result of the domestic distribution system (the supply pipe and the plumbing within the property) that results in the standards not being met. • In England and Wales these regulations implement the requirements of the European Drinking Directive 98/83/EC. The 2000 regulations impose standards for a range of parameters, which are either health based to ensure the water is safe to drink or to ensure the water is aesthetically acceptable. They also require that drinking water should not contain any element, organism or substance (whether or not a parameter) at a concentration or value, which would be detrimental to public health. • Water quality is normally tested at the tap used for domestic consumption, normally the kitchen. However, the householder is responsible for any of deterioration in water quality that is a result of the Thames Water Utilities Ltd domestic distribution system (the supply pipe and the plumbing within Property Insight the property) that results in the standards not being met.
