Since January 2007, the Minimum Requirements on the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations require that all new building applications and major building renovations be verified for compliance. These minimum requirements on the energy performance of buildings are compiled in a Technical Guidance document issued by the Buildings Regulations Office, better known as Document F.

These requirements are in accordance with the European Commission's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (Directive 2002/91/EC) which is now enforced in Malta by the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, 2008 (LN 261/2008).

Econing can assess your building plans and evaluate compliance with the various requirements of the Technical Guidance, namely:

• Conservation of Fuel and Power
• Resistance to the passage of heat
• Assessment of Solar Overheatings
• Control of Heating and Cooling Systems
• Artificial Lighting Setup
• Conservation of Rain Water

Such compliance certificate may be requested by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA).

However in our consideration for compliance, we will not stop at identifying problem areas. We will provide feasible solutions and recommendations to make your building achieve the necessary level of conformity. In this way, we ensure that you will not arrive to a standstill at planning stage but we will offer options to progress.

Once built, you can boast of a state of the art premises in terms of energy conservation. Its running cost will be kept at bay and any remaining funds can be reinvested elsewhere.
