A Consulting Engineer’s Notes: #2 - Trees Pt.1

Building Defects No Comments

Copper-Beech - DeciduousThe subject of trees, shrubs and other greenery and their effects on buildings is large. This technical note will therefore be split into two parts. Part 1 will discuss selected tree types while Part 2 will look at some of the effects of trees.

Trees on the whole split into two categories, namely Broad-leaf or Deciduous trees and Conifer or Evergreen trees.

Should investors still be buying in the current market?

Uncategorized 1 Comment

This article endeavours to explore this question and answer it once and for all. (Well – I’ll give you my opinion anyway).

Okay, let’s cut to the chase. The answer to the above question is (drum roll please) - It depends. There you go, that’s it, you can stop reading now - still here? Well let’s explore what’s happening at the moment a little deeper so that things become clear.

Energy Performance Certificate or EPC is a term that may only be familiar to you if you have sold or are selling your home, but that is about to change as the Government steps up its campaign to make us all more conscious of the energy we use and our own carbon footprint.

The 1st October will see the introduction of Energy Performance Certificates for Rental Property in the UK, with all new lettings undertaken after this deadline requiring an EPC.

The EPC has its roots in the Kyoto Protocol which was a worldwide initiative started in 1997 to address the issue of Greenhouse gases. Since then the European Union have formulated the European Directive for the Energy Performance of Buildings, which applies to all member states with a clearly defined timetable of the measures we must introduce. By 2009 virtually every property in the UK including our homes, shops, offices, factories, schools and hospitals will require an EPC and in many cases this will need to be displayed publicly.
