EPC

The Energy Performance Certificate- EPC is a document that provides information on the energy efficiency of a building. The certificate is based on assessing the building’s construction, heating and lighting systems, and ventilation systems. It assigns the property a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). The certificate also includes recommendations for improvements that could be made to increase the energy efficiency of the property. The Energy Certificate is valid for ten years and must be renewed if any significant changes are made to the property. The certificate is required when a property is built, sold or rented. It is also necessary for any building that undergoes a major refurbishment. The EPC can help buyers or tenants understand a property’s running costs and compare the energy efficiency of different properties. It can also help landlords to comply with energy efficiency regulations.
