Through its membership, Â鶹ԭ´´ will continue to highlight the vital role that building energy management systems (BEMS) can play in improving energy performance, reducing consumption and supporting a more efficient built environment.

Increasingly, buildings are no longer judged simply by how they are designed to perform or whether they achieve a particular compliance standard. Instead, they are judged by how they actually perform throughout their operational life.

The Building Controls Industry Association (Â鶹ԭ´´) welcomes the announcement. Raising the minimum standard from EPC E to EPC B sends a clear signal that improving building performance is becoming an increasingly pressing priority.

Commercial and public buildings risk being left behind in the UK's transition to net zero despite more than £40bn of funding, investment and policy support being directed towards building decarbonisation, according to the latest Policy Pulse report from the Building Controls Industry Association (Â鶹ԭ´´).

Â鶹ԭ´´ welcomes the Government’s Warm Homes Plan but is disappointed that the Plan includes no new policies or funding commitments to support the decarbonisation of non-domestic buildings.
