An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides information about the energy efficiency of a building or property. It is commonly used in many countries as a way to assess and communicate how energy-efficient a building is to potential buyers, tenants, or occupants.

An EPC typically includes the following information:

Energy Efficiency Rating: This is usually presented as a letter grade, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The rating indicates the overall energy efficiency of the building.

Estimated Energy Consumption: The EPC provides an estimate of the building’s energy consumption, including heating, cooling, hot water, and lighting. This estimate helps occupants understand the potential energy costs associated with the building.

Recommendations for Improvement: The EPC may include recommendations for energy-saving improvements that could be made to the building. These could range from installing more energy-efficient appliances to improving insulation, windows, or heating systems.

Technical Information: The certificate may also include technical details about the building’s construction, insulation, heating, and ventilation systems.

Assessment Methodology: The EPC explains the methodology used to calculate the energy efficiency rating and consumption estimates. This helps ensure transparency and accuracy in the assessment process.

EPCs are typically required when a building is constructed, sold, or rented out. They provide valuable information to prospective buyers, tenants, and owners, allowing them to make informed decisions about the energy efficiency of the property. Additionally, EPCs play a role in promoting energy efficiency and environmental awareness by encouraging the adoption of energy-saving measures in buildings.
