An energy performance assessment provides information about a building’s energy use, costs and CO2 emissions. It rates the performance potential of the building’s fabric and services (e.g. heating, ventilation, lighting) to produce an overall energy efficiency grade which is displayed on an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The energy efficiency grade is shown on a clear and simple scale of A (the best) to G.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is legally required when a building is built, rented, or sold. For commercial buildings larger than 50 square metres, owners must provide an EPC when selling or leasing the property. The seller or landlord must make a valid EPC and recommendation report available, free of charge, to potential buyers or tenants. This allows them to assess the building’s energy performance, helping them to consider energy efficiency in their decision to purchase or occupy the property.
Global Environmental offers a cost-effective and responsive energy assessment service for commercial properties. Our accredited energy assessors can survey all types of properties, from small buildings to SBMs, as well as large office buildings, retail premises, and manufacturing facilities.
Our assessors minimise disruption and disturbance to the users of the building.
Our report to you will contain the EPC and also recommendations for reducing the amount of energy the building uses, such as better insulation or a more efficient boiler. For each recommendation it gives the potential annual cost saving, the payback timescale, and a measure of how the change would improve the energy and carbon emission rating of the property.
The government provides a facility to check if a residential or commercial building has a current or expired EPC, by using the building’s post code, here.
