What is a Commercial Energy Performance Certificate, or Commercial EPC?

A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a crucial document that assesses the energy efficiency of commercial properties. It provides a rating from 'A' (most efficient) to 'G' (least efficient), based on various factors like heating, lighting, insulation, and ventilation systems. An EPC helps potential buyers and tenants compare the energy performance of different properties.

Why Do You Need a Commercial EPC?

Commercial EPCs are legally required for all commercial properties when built, sold, or rented. They offer valuable insights into energy efficiency, potentially reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. Not having a valid EPC can lead to significant fines from Trading Standards.

• Energy Efficiency: Highlights the energy performance of your property and suggests improvements.

• Cost Savings: More efficient buildings have lower operating costs.

• Compliance: Meets legal requirements, avoiding penalties.

• Marketability: Properties with higher energy ratings are more attractive to buyers and tenants.

All commercial properties that are being sold, let, or newly constructed require an EPC. This includes retail units, office buildings, warehouses, and industrial properties. However, certain properties, such as places of worship and temporary buildings, are exempt.
