The UK’s ambitious net-zero carbon targets are reshaping building regulations, energy performance standards, and long-term property planning. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), a key tool for assessing energy efficiency, are evolving to reflect these goals. For property owners, landlords, developers, and assessors, understanding how EPCs may change
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) measure a building’s energy efficiency and potential running costs. One of the key factors influencing EPC ratings is wall insulation. While both internal wall insulation (IWI) and external wall insulation (EWI) improve thermal efficiency, they affect EPC assessments differently. Understanding these differences
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are widely used to measure a building’s energy efficiency and running costs. However, they sometimes conflict with other sustainability standards such as BREEAM, LEED, or WELL. These clashes can be confusing for developers, property owners, and sustainability consultants. Understanding why these discrepancies
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a legal requirement for most buildings in the UK when they are constructed, sold, or rented. But what about agricultural buildings? Farms often include barns, storage units, livestock shelters, and other structures that may not fit standard EPC assessment rules. Understanding
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a cornerstone of energy efficiency in UK buildings. They evaluate energy demand, insulation, heating systems, and more. A long-standing debate in the industry is whether EPCs should prioritize building fabric improvements (walls, roofs, windows, insulation) over technological solutions like high-efficiency boilers,
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to provide an estimate of a building’s energy efficiency and potential running costs. Traditionally, EPC assessments focus on heating demand, insulation, and building fabric. However, air conditioning (AC) and cooling loads, especially in summer months, are often overlooked — creating
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are mandatory for most buildings in the UK when they are constructed, sold, or rented. However, there’s an often-overlooked loophole: temporary structures and certain non-permanent buildings may legally bypass EPC requirements. Understanding this can help property owners, developers, and landlords remain compliant
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to measure a building’s energy efficiency and potential running costs. Interestingly, detached and semi-detached homes are often assessed differently, even when they appear similar. Understanding these differences is crucial for property owners, landlords, and developers looking to optimize EPC ratings
When assessing a property’s energy efficiency, many property owners focus on insulation, boilers, and heating systems. However, roof pitch and shading are often overlooked factors that can significantly influence your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Understanding their impact can help property owners, landlords, and developers make
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are essential for property owners, landlords, and developers across the UK. They provide an estimate of a building’s energy efficiency and potential running costs. While EPCs are straightforward for properties with individual heating systems, district heating or communal systems introduce unique challenges.
