What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that assesses and rates the energy efficiency of a property asset. It provides valuable information about the building’s theoretical energy consumption, carbon emissions, and potential for improvement. An EPC rates the property on a scale from A (most energy-efficient) to G (least energy-efficient), helping property owners, buyers, and tenants make informed decisions about energy efficiency and sustainability.

 

Why should you consider an EPC?

Energy Efficiency Awareness

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Informed Decision-Making

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Cost Savings

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Environmental Impact

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Regulatory Compliance

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Increased Property Value

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Long-Term Investment

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

Improved Building Performance

EPC assessments identify areas of improvement in a building’s energy performance, encouraging property owners to make necessary changes. This drives energy-efficient improvements for sustainability and compliance.

How do we achieve this?

Initial Assessment

Obtaining and reviewing relevant documentation and specifications from the client, conducting an on-site visit to assess the property and gather data on building fabric, systems, and energy sources.

Data Analysis

In this phase, the collected data is used to perform energy calculations and simulations using Simplified Building Energy Model analysis, resulting in a comprehensive report, summarising the property’s energy rating and offering high-level recommendations for improved performance and reducing consumption.

Certification

During the documentation and certification stage, an Energy Performance Certificate report is prepared in accordance with relevant regulations and standards, providing the client with an official energy rating for the property.
