WHAT IS AN EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that assesses and rates the energy efficiency of a building. It provides information about a property's energy usage and carbon emissions and offers recommendations for improving energy efficiency.
EPCs are required when a property is constructed, sold, or rented. They are intended to inform potential buyers or tenants about the building's energy performance and associated costs. The certificate rates the property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
The EPC includes information on the property's energy consumption, carbon emissions and recommendations for improving energy efficiency. It is based on the building's insulation, heating systems, ventilation and renewable energy sources.
EPCs aim to raise awareness about energy efficiency and encourage property owners to improve their buildings' energy performance, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs.
TYPES OF EPC
Residential EPC
Residential EPCs are designed for residential properties, including houses, apartments and other establishments. When a property is sold, rented out, or constructed, a residential EPC is typically required. The assessment is conducted by a qualified energy assessor who visits the property, collects relevant data and generates the EPC report.
Residential EPCs provide valuable information about a property's energy efficiency and environmental performance. They rate the property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and recommend improving energy efficiency. The report considers various factors, such as insulation, heating systems, ventilation and renewable energy sources.
Commercial EPC
Commercial EPCs focus on non-residential buildings, including offices, shops, warehouses and public buildings. Similar to residential EPCs, commercial EPCs are required when a property is sold, rented out, or newly constructed. Qualified assessors evaluate the building's energy efficiency and environmental impact, providing an energy rating and recommendations for improvement.
Commercial EPCs help potential buyers, tenants and property owners understand the energy performance of a building. They consider heating, cooling, lighting, insulation and renewable energy sources. The information provided allows stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding energy usage and potential cost savings.
SAP EPC
SAP EPCs are specific to new residential properties in the United Kingdom. SAP is the methodology used to assess and compare these properties' energy and environmental performance. The assessment considers insulation, heating systems, ventilation and renewable energy technologies.
SAP EPCs are a legal requirement for newly constructed residential properties in the UK. They provide an energy efficiency rating based on the SAP calculation, which determines the property's energy consumption and carbon emissions. The rating influences compliance with building regulations and guides energy-efficient design and construction.
