Energy Performance Certificates for UK Buildings (EPC)
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides an energy rating for a building and information about its energy efficiency. EPCs are required in a range of circumstances when buildings are constructed, sold or let and can also support wider energy management decisions.
Our assessors provide EPC services for residential and commercial properties, using the appropriate methodology for the building type.
Commercial EPC
A commercial EPC assesses the energy performance of a non-domestic property and provides an energy rating based on its building characteristics and services.
The assessment considers relevant factors such as construction, heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting.
Residential EPC
For residential properties, the EPC provides an energy efficiency rating and recommendations for improving performance.
We can support EPC requirements for individual dwellings and residential developments.
EPC Compliance and Property Transactions
An EPC may be required when a property is constructed, sold or let. The certificate provides prospective owners, tenants and other stakeholders with information about the property’s energy performance.
For commercial properties, EPC requirements can also interact with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards and wider property compliance obligations.
Improving Energy Performance
EPC recommendations can highlight opportunities to improve building efficiency, reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs.
For property owners and asset managers, the EPC can therefore provide useful information beyond the immediate certification requirement.
