An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legally required document that provides an overview of a property’s energy efficiency. Its main function is to:
🔍 Inform Buyers, Tenants, and Property Owners
The EPC outlines how energy-efficient a building is on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This helps prospective buyers or renters make informed decisions by showing how much it might cost to heat and power the property.
🏡 Promote Energy Improvements
EPCs include a recommendation report suggesting cost-effective improvements. These can help reduce utility bills and carbon emissions, encouraging property owners to upgrade insulation, install double glazing, or switch to efficient heating systems.
🛠️ Ensure Legal Compliance
For most properties that are sold, rented, or built, it is a legal requirement in the UK to have a valid EPC. Failure to provide one can result in fines and enforcement actions.
🌍 Support Government Energy Goals
By standardising energy efficiency assessments, EPCs play a vital role in supporting the UK’s drive toward carbon reduction and sustainability in the building sector.
