Jonathan Lovejoy, director of the company, said that the market was not yet making a sales point of good EPC ratings but they were sure to put a premium on rents, as had happened in America already.

鈥淭here will be much more work for building services engineers directly with property developers because of the connection between higher rents and energy efficiency,鈥� Lovejoy said. 鈥淧roperty agents would be missing a trick if they didn鈥檛 make it central to their sales pitch.鈥�

NB Environment, part of NB Real Estate, develops sustainability policies for investors and corporate occupiers. It has formed an alliance with Arcadis AYH to have CIBSE-accredited assessors at its disposal should there be a shortage of assessors.

鈥淲e have no cause to fear a shortage yet, but if we start getting more urgent sales requests, then we鈥檒l have to put pressure on our assessors.

鈥淚鈥檓 talking to a number of funds who don鈥檛 think this is an issue yet, but I believe it鈥檚 coming.鈥�

Lovejoy said a recent US survey by CoStar Group had found that LEED and Energy Star-rated buildings were selling for 27% more per sq ft than those with no rating or poorly rated. Occupancy rates were 92% compared with 87% for less-efficient buildings.
