Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are energy reports that determine how energy efficient a  commercial premises is. Unlike the domestic EPCs, commercial reports start from 0, which is a very good rating going up to 150 and beyond for the worst energy performing properties.

If you are renting, selling or commissioning a building you legally have to have an EPC, which is  valid for 10 years, unless there is a material change to the building. Material changes for example: change to the fabric of the building, significant extensions to the property and /or changes to the provision of fixed services then a new EPC will have to be produced. This gives the prospective buyer or tenant the most updated information on energy efficiency of the property.

Our qualified assessors would visit the property and carry out a physical inspection of all the key parts, which include the building fabric, lighting and business services. During the visit, the assessor will determine the various operations for differing parts of the property (zones) and then calculate the dimensions for all those zones. All the measurements from the zones are separately recorded in the software and should be equal to the total size (m2) of the building.
