Energy Performance Certificates

What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

The EPC is broadly similar to certificates found on many domestic appliances:

A certificate gives the building an asset rating based on it's energy efficiency (it does not take into account how the home is used by the occupiers.

The EPC will give the building a rating from A to G - an A rating shows it's very efficient, meaning lower fuel bills, while G is inefficient, meaning higher fuel bills.

It will also show the building's environmental impact by indicating its carbon dioxide emissions.

All EPCs will be carried out by fully trained and qualified Domestic Energy Assessors.
