How Attic and Roof Ventilation Impacts EPC Outcomes?

Proper attic and roof ventilation play a crucial role in a property’s energy efficiency and, therefore, its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. While often overlooked, ventilation affects heat retention, moisture control, and overall energy performance. Learn more about EPCs on our Residential EPC page. How Ventilation

EPC Implications of Heavy Timber vs. Light Frame Construction

The type of construction used in a building has a major impact on its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. In particular, the choice between heavy timber and light frame construction affects thermal performance, heat retention, and overall energy efficiency. Learn more about EPCs on our Residential

EPC for Homes with Partial Basement Conversions

Basement conversions are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, especially in urban areas where space is limited. A partial basement conversion—where only part of the basement is converted into living space—can affect a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating in several ways. Learn more about EPCs

How Energy-Efficient Appliances Influence EPC Ratings?

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) measure a property’s overall energy efficiency, taking into account heating, insulation, lighting, and appliance usage. While heating and insulation are often the primary focus, the appliances you use in your home can also influence your EPC rating. Learn more about EPCs on

EPC Implications of Shared Hot Water Systems in Flats

In many modern apartment buildings or flats, shared hot water systems—such as communal boilers or district heating—provide hot water to multiple units. While these systems can be convenient and space-saving, they can have significant effects on a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Learn more about

How Thermal Bridges Reduce EPC Efficiency Scores?

Thermal bridges are often overlooked in building design, but they can have a significant impact on a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Understanding how they work and how to mitigate them is key to improving energy efficiency. Learn more about EPCs on our Residential EPC

EPC Ratings and High-Performance Wall Insulation

High-performance wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Modern insulation materials and techniques reduce heat loss, lower energy consumption, and create a more comfortable indoor environment. Learn more about EPCs on our Residential EPC page.

EPC Impacts of Large Glass Facades in Modern Homes

Modern architecture often features large glass facades, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive glazing to maximize natural light and create a sense of openness. While visually striking, these design choices can have significant effects on a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Learn more about EPCs on our

How Split Heating Systems Affect EPC Ratings?

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) measure a property’s energy efficiency, including heating, insulation, and overall energy use. One system that can influence your EPC rating is a split heating system. What Is a Split Heating System? A split heating system consists of: Outdoor unit: Usually a heat

EPC Considerations for Homes with Multiple Heating Zones

Homes with multiple heating zones provide greater comfort and energy efficiency by allowing tailored temperature control in different areas. However, these systems require careful evaluation when obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to ensure accurate energy ratings. Key Considerations for EPC Assessments 1. Complexity in Heat
