It is a common complaint in relation to EPCs...identifying the certificate relevant to the property. And this cannot make MEES enforcement easy! 

In September, the government set out various proposals to improve the effectiveness of EPCs. There is one notable action in relation to the public register:  "Improving addresses on EPCs to include, where possible, OS UPRN numbers to allow The Register data to be compared easily with other government owned datasets". However, what is a UPRN number? Here is an explanation from Karl Tomusk. Short and snappy, this is worth a read. 

And equally, it is worth checking out this comment piece by Dan Hughes for Ordnance Survey, which also considers UPRN. As Dan says: "No longer are we just focused on the building itself, we now focus much more on the impact on people, society, and the environment... buildings are evolving from concrete blocks to the digital platforms of the future." Data is set to become ever more important; nowhere more so than in relation to environmental performance.  

As Dan says: "The way we used to refer to a property in the past is often no longer fit for purpose where we expect machines to bring together and analyse multiple data sets". A thought...will the traditional legal report on title move to include not just Land Registry information, but other identifier(s)?
