Building assessment reports
The requires Building Assessment Reports (BARs) to be produced for all non-domestic buildings in Scotland owned by the public sector with an annual heat demand of 73 megawatt-hours per year or more. BARs should set out the potential for the buildings in question to be supplied with heat from a heat network. The first BARs must be prepared "as soon as reasonably practicable" and thereafter every five years. Copies of all BARs for buildings in ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ must be submitted to both the Scottish Government and the City of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Council. Guidance on completing a BAR can be found .
You can submit BARs for buildings in ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to the Council by emailing them to buildingassessmentreports@edinburgh.gov.uk.
Copies should also be emailed to the Scottish Government at heatnetworkBAR@gov.scot.
