What energy standards are recognised?

Most properties in the UK are issued with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which measures the building’s current energy efficiency and its potential efficiency. We have developed our Retrofit discounts to reward renovators who improve the energy efficiency of their property. On the completion of your renovation, a discount of 0.25% off your interest rate is awarded for every EPC grade improvement you make to the property.

We recognise that some renovation projects go beyond the EPC criteria, so we also include the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard and the AECB Standard Retrofit in our renovation discount group.

Energy Standard	Ratings	Discount %
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)	Rating improvement	0.25% for each grade
Passivhaus	EnerPHit or EnerPHit+i	1.50%
Passivhaus	EnerPHit (PHPP Modelled)	0.75%
Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB)	AECB CarbonLite Building Standard	1.00%

Your eligible deposits with Ecology Building Society are protected up to a total of £120,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit guarantee scheme. Any deposits you hold above the limit are unlikely to be covered.
