Roof windows and skylights are popular features in modern homes, providing natural light, ventilation, and an open feel. However, they can significantly impact a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Understanding how these features influence EPC performance is essential for homeowners, landlords, and property developers. How
Open-plan living is increasingly popular in modern homes, offering spaciousness, natural light, and social connectivity. However, large open-plan areas can pose unique challenges for Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). Understanding these challenges can help homeowners, landlords, and buyers maintain energy efficiency and optimize EPC ratings. Why Open-Plan
Loft conversions and roof extensions are popular ways to add space and value to a property. However, they can also impact your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, sometimes positively, sometimes negatively. Understanding how these structural changes affect energy efficiency is crucial for homeowners, landlords, and property
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are an essential tool for assessing a property’s energy efficiency. Among the many factors influencing an EPC rating, the type, efficiency, and reporting of heating and hot water systems play a pivotal role. Accurate reporting ensures a true reflection of energy performance
When assessing a property’s energy efficiency, thermal bridges are a critical but often overlooked factor. These hidden heat loss points can significantly reduce a building’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, increasing energy costs and lowering overall efficiency. Understanding thermal bridges is essential for homeowners, landlords, and
Properties with split-level or multi-storey layouts are visually appealing and space-efficient, but they often present unique challenges when it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). Understanding these challenges helps homeowners, landlords, and buyers optimize energy efficiency, comply with regulations, and make informed decisions. Why Split-Level and
When it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), most homeowners focus on insulation, heating systems, and windows. However, two often-overlooked factors—roof pitch (the steepness of your roof) and roof orientation (the direction it faces)—can significantly influence your EPC score. Understanding these factors can help you plan
If you’re a landlord, it’s easy to overlook Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) upgrades in your rental property. However, failing to address energy efficiency improvements can carry significant financial, legal, and reputational costs. Understanding these consequences is essential for maintaining compliance and maximizing rental income. Legal Requirements
As homeowners and landlords increasingly adopt renewable energy solutions, the question arises: can energy storage systems like home batteries influence your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating? While current EPC assessments primarily focus on insulation, heating, windows, and solar generation, energy storage could play a bigger role
When homeowners think about Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, the focus often falls on insulation, windows, and heating systems. However, one of the most overlooked factors is air tightness — the degree to which a building prevents unwanted air leakage. Air tightness plays a critical role
