Accurate EPCs for Your Building: Transparency & Insights
Invest in reliable EPCs, improve efficiency, and attract buyers and tenants
In today's market, where environmental responsibility is increasingly valued, a high Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating for your commercial building offers more than just regulatory compliance. It signifies a commitment to sustainability, attracting tenants and buyers who prioritize eco-friendly spaces.
​
What is an EPC?
An EPC is a legally required document for commercial buildings over 50 square metres that are being sold or rented. It assesses the energy efficiency of a building and assigns a grade from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
​
Why is an EPC Important?
There are several reasons why an EPC is important for your commercial property:
-
Compliance: Failing to provide a valid EPC when selling or renting a building can result in fines of up to £5,000.
-
Market Value: A high EPC rating (A-C) typically indicates a more energy-efficient building. This can significantly increase your property's market value as tenants and buyers increasingly prioritize sustainability. Lower energy bills can also be a selling point for tenants.
-
Environmental Impact: Buildings are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing energy-saving measures can reduce your building's environmental impact.
What Does an EPC Include?
An EPC will typically include the following information:
-
The building's current energy efficiency rating (A-G)
-
Recommendations for improvements to enhance energy efficiency
-
Estimated energy costs based on the current rating
-
Potential energy cost savings with recommended improvements
