A Commercial EPC rates the energy efficiency of a building on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).This rating helps property owners, buyers, and tenants understand energy performance, reduce consumption, lower carbon emissions, and cut utility costs. The EPC certificate provides a detailed report that includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency. These recommendations range from simple upgrades, such as switching to energy-efficient lighting, to larger investments, such as installing renewable energy systems like solar panels.
Implementing these measures can significantly improve a property's EPC rating, making it more attractive to potential buyers and tenants.
- Heating systems
- Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar panels)
- Building insulation
- Air conditioning and ventilation systems
- Overall design and age of the building Windows, doors, and glazing systems
A strong EPC rating can enhance property value and market appeal. An energy-efficient building is often seen as a modern and sustainable investment, making it more competitive in the property market.
A valid EPC is required for:
1. Industrial sites, office spaces, and retail properties
2. Non-residential agricultural buildings
3. Commercial properties over 50m² that are frequently accessed by the public
4. Buildings with a total floor area over 500m²
Property owners must secure an EPC before selling or leasing a commercial building.
Without a valid EPC, transactions may be delayed, and property owners may face penalties.Landlords must ensure each separately occupied space meets EPC requirements. If your rating is too low, energy-efficient upgrades may be necessary. The UK government has introduced minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES), which require rental properties to have an EPC rating of at least an E. Properties with a rating of F or G may be considered non-compliant, leading to restrictions on their ability to be leased.
