What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy-efficiency of a property from A to G, where A is the most efficient and G the least.
How are they produced?
The EPC is based on the Final (or âas builtâ) SAP calculation (for a home) or SBEM calculation (for any other building).
Why are they required?
Itâs required for Part L of Building Regulations. If youâre renting out or selling a property, youâll need an EPC â it allows prospective buyers to compare the energy efficiency and running costs of different properties.
What else you might want to knowâŠ
I regularly provide EPCs on everything from the smallest flat to large developments â including Level 5 buildings which are the most complex buildings to assess. If the EPC is for an existing property, I can usually visit the site and provide the EPC on the same day. If time is of the essence, give me a call and we can talk through what might be possible.
