Yes, some listed buildings may be exempt from requiring an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)—but with specific conditions.
Under the UK’s energy efficiency regulations, listed buildings are potentially exempt if compliance with EPC requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance. This means if improving the building’s energy performance (such as installing double glazing, solar panels, or wall insulation) would negatively impact its historic or architectural significance, an exemption might apply.
However, this is not an automatic exemption. Property owners must assess if energy-saving improvements can be made without compromising the building’s character. If they can be, then an EPC may still be required.
