Commercial EPC, Energy Performance Certificates are required by law...
Did you know that buildings produce nearly half of the UK’s carbon emissions? That’s almost twice that of cars and planes. The way a building is constructed, insulated, heated, ventilated and the type of fuel used, all contribute to its carbon emissions.
EPBD Surveys
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), requires that from from April 2008 any commercial property in the UK, (*which is within the limits described below) will require an Energy Performance Certificate upon construction, or prior to sale or lease of the property.
We provide affordable Commercial EPC, Energy Performance Certificates, also called non domesticepc, energy performance certificates (NDEPC) to buildings that are being sold or leased in the United Kingdom. With effect from the 4th of January of this year the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive dictates that a Commercial EPCs (Non Domestic ECPs) will be required upon construction, sale or lease for all non-dwellings, covering everything from small retail units to offices, industrial units and large scale commercial premises such as airports and public buildings. Responsibility for enforcement in newly built properties will fall to Building Control, whilst Trading Standards departments will enforce certification of existing buildings. The legislation does have exemptions; for advice on your requirements please contact us and we'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
