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.
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.
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.
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.
