Rather than trying to require an energy statement from developers, why not set criteria for all buildings to reduce the energy consumption from the outset? eg:
locate all building (domestic and commercial) to maximise their passive solar gain;
require all buildings (domestic and commercial) to minimise their heat loss by construction methods and by their physical orientation;
require all commercial buildings with a roof space in excess of 100m2 to install solar panels.
require minimum levels of insulation.
