It aims to outline your proposed development’s energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets according to local regulations.

What does an Energy Statement include?
Using the Energy Hierarchy, Energy Statements will outline the ways your building project will reduce carbon emissions:
- Energy Efficiency Measure: Insulation, airtightness, and glazing help to reduce energy demand.
- Renewable Energy Technologies: Solar panels, air source heat pumps, and wind turbines for clean energy
- On-site energy generation: Decentralised systems or combined heat and power (CHP) units
Noting these energy-saving elements shows your local authority that your plan includes sustainable, low carbon solutions throughout your design process.
