520			_aGovernment has announced that energy ratings similar to consumer-friendly fridge ratings will have to be produced for every home bought and sold in England and Wales from June 2007. A new Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) has been launched which will form part of the home condition report within the home information packs coming on stream in 2007. The certificates will give home buyers and sellers A to G ratings for their home's energy efficiency and carbon emissions. The reports prepared by qualified home inspectors will advise consumers on which energy measures could cut carbon emissions from their home and improve their energy rating. Provides link to a sample EPC.
