Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to measure the energy efficiency of buildings in the UK. Currently, EPCs primarily focus on operational energy use—heating, cooling, and lighting—but they do not account for embodied carbon, which is the greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing, transporting, and installing
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are meant to be a clear benchmark of a building’s energy efficiency. Yet a surprising controversy has emerged: some net-zero homes—properties designed to produce as much renewable energy as they consume—still end up with disappointingly low EPC ratings. This mismatch raises questions
As buildings become more innovative, traditional energy assessment tools are being tested. One such challenge arises in properties that use mixed-mode ventilation systems—a blend of natural ventilation (like operable windows) and mechanical systems (such as fans, HVAC units, or demand-controlled ventilation). The question is: how accurately
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) were designed with traditional property ownership and tenancy structures in mind. A single household, a single set of utility bills, and a straightforward energy rating. But the rise of co-living developments, shared accommodation, and communal housing models has disrupted this simplicity. From
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are more than just a piece of paper—they are a legal requirement for property transactions, rentals, and certain commercial activities in the UK. But what happens when landlords, property owners, or agents fail to comply? Over the years, landmark court cases and
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a vital tool in the UK property market, helping buyers, tenants, and landlords understand how energy efficient a building is. They rate homes and commercial properties on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and recommend improvements. But
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) have long been the standard for rating a property’s energy efficiency. They provide an important benchmark for homeowners, landlords, tenants, and buyers. But EPCs, in their current form, are static and limited—a snapshot in time that doesn’t always reflect the dynamic reality
As education providers look for cost-effective, flexible, and sustainable building solutions, modular schools and prefabricated classrooms are becoming increasingly popular across the UK. These structures offer quick installation, reduced costs, and adaptability for growing student populations. However, like all educational buildings, they must comply with energy
When buying, selling, or renting a property in the UK, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are more than just a compliance requirement. An EPC rating directly impacts how attractive a property is to buyers and tenants—and can even affect its market value. At Urgent EPC, we help
Modern homeowners increasingly favour high ceilings and open-concept floor plans for their spacious, airy, and contemporary feel. While these architectural choices enhance comfort and aesthetics, they also raise important questions about Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings. Large, open spaces often demand more energy for heating, cooling,
