Improving your rating before an assessment
A few measured changes before an assessment can lift a commercial property's rating, sometimes enough to clear the standard. Here are the ones that tend to make the most difference.
Lighting
Switching to LED throughout is one of the most cost-effective improvements, and it shows up clearly in the assessment.
Heating controls
Modern controls, timers and zoning help a building use energy more efficiently, which the rating reflects.
Insulation and draughts
Reducing heat loss, through insulation, draught-proofing and well-maintained doors and windows, lifts performance.
