(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Amendment (No. 3) Regulations 2012 amend the Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”). The 2008 Regulations transposed the provisions of Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast) (OJ L 1, 4.1.2003, p.65) (“the 2002 Directive”).
The 2002 Directive has now been recast by Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (OJ L 153, 18.6.2010 p.13) (“the 2010 Directive”).
The Regulations amend the provisions of the 2008 Regulations relating to disclosure of information held on a register of energy performance data maintained under regulation 10 of the 2008 Regulations. Regulations 5 to 8 introduce new regulations 12, 12A, 13 and 14 into the 2008 Regulations together with the related new Schedule. These provisions enable the keeper of a register to disclose documents or data held on the registers subject to certain limitations and conditions. Regulation 3 introduces new definitions for these purposes into regulation 2 of the 2008 Regulations.
Regulation 4 replaces regulation 7 of the 2008 Regulations. The new regulation 7 refers to both building and building units throughout. Regulations 9 and 10 respectively remove redundant provisions from the Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2012 and Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2012.
