An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) evaluates the energy efficiency of a property using several key metrics. These metrics help homeowners, landlords, and tenants understand how much energy a property consumes and what can be done to improve its performance.
Whether you’re applying for a Residential EPC or a Same-Day EPC, here’s what your EPC will measure:
🔢 1. Energy Efficiency Rating (A–G)
The primary EPC metric is a color-coded scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This rating is based on how efficiently your property uses energy for heating, lighting, and hot water.
💷 2. Estimated Energy Costs
The EPC provides:
Current energy costs per year
Potential savings if recommended improvements are made
This helps buyers and tenants budget for energy bills and evaluate energy-saving opportunities.
🌱 3. Environmental Impact (CO₂ Emissions)
An EPC also calculates your property’s carbon dioxide emissions. It shows:
Current CO₂ output (kg/m² per year)
Potential reduction with efficiency upgrades
🏡 4. Property Characteristics
Assessors document:
Property type and floor area
Heating systems and insulation
Glazing, walls, roof, and floor type
These details affect the EPC score and are used to generate improvement recommendations.
🛠️ 5. Recommended Improvements
Each EPC includes a list of energy-saving upgrades, such as:
Installing loft or cavity wall insulation
Upgrading to a condensing boiler
Replacing single-glazed windows
These are ranked by potential savings and effectiveness.
