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
When improving a property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, most homeowners focus on insulation, heating, and windows. However, an often overlooked factor is building orientation — the direction your property faces and how it interacts with sunlight and prevailing winds. Orientation can have a measurable impact
When comparing properties, it’s common to assume that two similar homes will have similar Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings. Yet in reality, one home might score a B, while a nearly identical property sits at D. Understanding why this happens is key for homeowners, landlords, and
When it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), most homeowners think about walls, roofs, windows, and heating systems. However, areas like basements and lofts can significantly complicate EPC assessments. These spaces often have unique insulation, ventilation, and heating characteristics that affect your property’s overall energy efficiency.
