what is an epc?

Energy Performance Certificates

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) details the building’s energy efficiency compared to a notional building with the same age and use characteristics. They are required for all leases, sales and purchases and are rated from A+ (highest) to G (lowest) with EPC’s below an E rating having restrictions placed on them for any lettings due to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) regulations.

The UK Government is looking to set a target for buildings to have a minimum C rating by 2030.

why epc’ s are essential

Since 2008, the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (2007) have required all UK properties sold, rented, or newly built to hold an A–G rated Energy Performance Certificate. From 2018, the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) mandate a minimum EPC rating of E for commercial buildings, with non-compliance (F/G) subject to fines and lease restrictions.

Our Assessment Process

1. Client Quote

To provide an accurate quote, we need the building’s location, floor area, and any supporting documents such as floor plans and specifications. Once reviewed, we’ll confirm the quote and arrange a site assessment.

2. Site Visit

A qualified energy assessor carries out a non-intrusive survey of the property, reviewing the buildings measurements, lighting, insulation, and HVAC systems to determine the property’s energy performance.

3. Assessment and Analysis

Collected data is entered into accredited EPC software which calculates the property’s energy rating based on current legislation. The assessment reflects the site visit, and a full QA audit is completed before the certificate is issued.

5. Certificate Provision and Publication

We produce the official Energy Performance Certificate, delivered digitally and registered with the National EPC Register for legal recognition and compliance.

6. Follow-up Support

We provide expert guidance on energy efficiency improvements through Compliance Modelling, helping owners understand enhancements and meet compliance requirements.

7. Evidence Re-inspection

We conduct a follow up visit to verify recommended energy improvements, review updated systems, and revise the buildings rating to reflect current performance for compliance and property transactions.

Does Your Building Need an EPC?

Not all properties are required to have an Energy Performance Certificate. Buildings that do not require an EPC include:

  • Places of Worship
  • Temporary Buildings (under 2 years intended use)
  • Standalone Buildings (under 50 m²)
  • Industrial Estates
  • Listed Buildings
  • Buildings Due for Demolition
  • Buildings in Conservation Areas
  • Non-Residential Agricultural Building
  • Residential Buildings (used less than four months a year)
All Improvements Made Exemption

The landlord has installed all possible energy efficiency improvements and the property still does not achieve E rating.

High Cost Exemption

The required improvements would cost more than £3,500 (incl. VAT) Or all improvements up to that cap have been installed and the property remains below E.

Devaluation Exemption

An independent surveyor confirms improvements would reduce the property’s market value by 5% or more.

Consent Exemption

Where required consent cannot be obtained from a tenant, a landlord, a lender or planning authority. If consent is refused (or granted with unreasonable conditions), the exemption can be registered.

New Landlord Exemption (Temporary)

Applicable when a landlord becomes responsible for a property suddenly such as; inheritance, lease assignment or a court order. This provides 6 months to comply or register another exemption.

Wall Insulation Exemption

Cavity, internal, or external wall insulation is recommended, however, a qualified expert confirms installing the recommended improvements would physically harm the building’s structure or materials (either immediately or over time).

Or Is Your Building Exempt?

Certain properties with ratings of F or G may qualify for exemption from MEES requirements. Registered Exemptions Include:

PRS Register

Exemptions must be registered online on the PRS Exemptions Register. They typically last five years, and require supporting evidence to apply.

Fines

Failing to provide an Energy Performance Certificate for a commercial property can result in fines of up to £5,000.
