An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides buyers, tenants, and owners with insights into energy usage, carbon emissions, and potential savings.
📊 The EPC Rating Scale
| Rating | Efficiency Level | Score (SAP Points) |
|---|---|---|
| A | Excellent | 92-100 |
| B | Very Good | 81-91 |
| C | Good | 69-80 |
| D | Average | 55-68 |
| E | Below Average | 39-54 |
| F | Poor | 21-38 |
| G | Very Poor | 1-20 |
🧮 How Is the EPC Rating Calculated?
A certified EPC assessor evaluates:
Insulation levels
Heating systems and controls
Window glazing type
Lighting (energy-efficient bulbs)
Building materials and age
Solar panels or renewable systems (if any)
They input the data into government-approved software to generate the SAP score, which translates into an A-G rating.
📄 What Else Does an EPC Include?
Estimated annual energy costs
Recommendations for improving energy efficiency
Current and potential ratings
CO₂ emissions data
🛠️ Want to Improve Your Rating?
Simple upgrades like installing loft insulation, upgrading to double glazing, or switching to LED lighting can help move your property up a band.
