The European Commission's Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD) states that all buildings must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provided when they are constructed, sold or rented.
Commercial property will also fall under this legislation and will have to be in place by January 4th 2009. There will be a phased delivery between the private and public sector during 2008:

The National Occupational Standards for this new suite of energy qualifications have now been agreed and will act as the benchmark against which potential members of other accreditation schemes will have their evidence of competence assessed. There will be three levels of qualification relating to the complexity of the building. The inspection and assessment of boilers and heating/cooling installations will form another suite of qualifications.
Holders of this new qualification will enable individuals to carry out an energy inspection on non-domestic buildings. This will clearly represent a natural career progression for holders of domestic energy and/or Home Inspectors Diploma.
