What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides an energy rating for a building based on the characteristics of the building itself and its services such as heating, ventilation and lighting. The certificate includes an asset energy rating from A to G; A being the most efficient and G being the least efficient. The EPC also contains a recommendation report which suggests ways to improve the energy efficiency of the building.

How much does an EPC cost?
The price of an EPC will vary depending on a number of factors including the size, location and age of the building as well as market demand. If the building has more complex air conditioning systems and separate spaces, this will require a more comprehensive visit.

How long is an EPC valid for?
An EPC for a commercial property will be valid for 10 years or until replaced with a newer one. The EPC will be recorded on a Government central register and, during the ten year period, the same EPC can be provided to prospective tenants or buyers.

Are there any penalties for not providing an EPC?
The landlord is liable for failing to provide an EPC and could be fined for non-compliance, the fine for which can be up to £5,000 . However, this is not clearly defined and the fine may be issued on multiple occasions if the EPC remains outstanding.
