Building Performance, Audits, Surveys and Inspections
Building Performance, Audits, Surveys and Inspections brings together a curated set of informational infographics from TEAM Energy, designed to support clear understanding of the Energy Performance of Buildings regulations, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), Display Energy Certificates (DECs) and Air Conditioning Inspection Reports (ACIR). The lookbook provides journalists and stakeholders with accessible, evidence-based visuals that explain complex concepts, regulatory contexts and best‑practice approaches.
