EPB: Information Seminars

The Department held a number half-day information seminars across Northern Ireland throughout 2008 on the legislation and training related to the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). These seminars were attended by members of the public as well as landlords, estate agents, solicitors or those wishing to train as an energy assessor.
