What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
An EPC is required whenever a property is sold, built, or rented out. It contains information about a property's energy performance and costs.
Using a scale of A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), the certificate provides an energy efficiency rating for the property. The higher the score, the more energy efficient the property is, and your energy bills are likely to be lower.
The certificate also details recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency of your building. According to the Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), a property must at least have an E rating to be sold or rented out with a few exemptions.
What Properties Are Exempt From the MEES Regulations?
Properties under any of the following categories are exempt from the MEES Regulations:
EPC Types You Need to Know
Residential EPCs
Residential EPCs are required for rental homes, including HMOs, single occupancy dwellings, and holiday lets.
You'll receive a rating of A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient. The certificate will also mention recommendations for making your property more energy efficient.
Commercial EPCs
A commercial EPC is required whenever a non-residential property is rented or sold. This includes office buildings, retail units, and warehouses. The certificate will rate your property from A to G, depending on the carbon dioxide emissions.
The report will also highlight ways to make your property more energy efficient and reduce energy bills.
SAP EPCs
An SAP EPC is required when a property is built or converted or when adding dwellings within your property—for instance, converting a commercial property into flats.
SAPs don't require an on-site inspection like residential and commercial EPCs do. All you need to do is give the assessor drawings and specifications of your property.
