What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy performance of a building on a scale of A-G. The energy rating reflects the actual energy performance of the building relative to a benchmark. The energy rating can be used to compare the energy performance of buildings when making investment decisions.
Do I need an EPC?
If you are planning to sell or let a dwelling then you will need to obtain an EPC for that property.
How long does an EPC assessment take?
We aim to issue each EPC within four working days.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my dwelling?
Factors that affect the energy efficiency of a dwelling include:
- The level of thermal insulation included within the building envelope;
- The air tightness of the building and the characteristics of its ventilation equipment;
- The efficiency and controls of the heating system(s);
- Solar gains through openings within the building envelope; and
- The inclusion of low or zero carbon technologies, such as photovoltaics, ground source heat pumps, and combined heat and power (CHP)
What do I need to provide to the domestic energy assessor?
- Floor plans, including building elevations and sections;
- Details of the buildings location and orientation;
- Specification for the construction of all floors , roofs and external walls;
- Specification for all windows and doors within the buildings external envelope, including frame material, width of gap (if multiple glazing) and emissivity of glass;
- Details of all heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting within the building;
- Hot water system specification, including calorifier size, details of any insulation to the cylinder and pipes, and associated controls;
- Full details of any fixed secondary heating, cooling, and hot water systems; and
- Details of any low or zero carbon technology, such as solar hot water, photovoltaics, ground source heat pumps, or wind turbines, for example.
