The Quest valuation system provides an immediate interface to the Elmhurst Streamline system allowing surveyors to input the energy details of a particularly property and instantly receive a Home Energy Report, which includes cost effective recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property, such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation or heating system improvements.
Comments Stephen O’Hara, managing director of Elmhurst Energy Systems Ltd: “We continue to have a good working relationship with Quest and as energy ratings become more and more mainstream, our relationship is set to develop further. Once the ‘EU energy performance of buildings’ directive is implemented fully and the Home Information Pack initiative is launched, there will be a huge demand for such reports.”
Continues Stephen: “In addition, we have been contracted by DEFRA to develop a new energy reporting method which once completed, will be the standardised method for producing energy ratings for the Home Information Pack.”
Concludes Tom Parker, managing director of Quest Associates: “One of the largest groups that currently provide Home Energy Ratings are the mortgage lenders via our Quest system. Now, by working with Elmhurst, we are able to provide the reports to the surveyor community, ensuring they have access to vital energy data of the properties they visit.”
