An Energy Statement is a report required by local authorities or regulatory bodies to demonstrate how a proposed development or building complies with energy efficiency and carbon reduction standards.

​

The goal of the statement is to ensure that a new building or development adheres to local and national environmental policies aimed at reducing the carbon emissions and supporting sustainability. 

 

The Energy Statement shall include the following.

 

• Energy Efficiency: How the building or development minimizes energy consumption through design features, insulation, HVAC systems, and other measures.

• Renewable Energy: The inclusion of renewable energy systems, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to reduce the building's carbon footprint.

• Carbon Emissions: The estimated carbon emissions of the building, both in construction and operation, and how they compare to the targets set by local authorities or national standards.

• Sustainability Measures: Measures to ensure long-term sustainability, such as the use of low-carbon materials or water-saving technologies.
