Two thirds of businesses are unaware of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, a new survey has found.
The new research, by Royal & Sun Alliance also found that of those who know one a third were aware that the directive introducing energy performance certificates come into effect on 6 April 2008, representing 10% of those surveyed overall.
