Epc Go

  EPC s are a result of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which became law in the United Kingdom as Part 5 of the Housing Act 2004. An EPC assesses a building's intrinsic energy efficiency and rates it on an A to G scale against a predetermined benchmark. EPCs include a Recommendations Report that identifies areas for improvement. They are valid for ten years. EPC certificate must be provided in advance of a sale or letting so that prospective buyers and tenants can factor energy efficiency into their decision-making process. Why Energy Performance Certificates Are Required? When almost any commercial building is sold, rented, or has solar PV panels installed, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required. It will be necessary to meet the Minimum Energy Performance Standard, which is widely expected to be an EPC "E" rating, beginning in 2018. EPC Certificate rate a building's energy efficiency from A (extremely efficient) to G, simila...

  Every time a building is constructed, sold or rented, an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is needed. All landlords are required to get an Energy Performance Certificate before advertising their homes for sale or rental. Since it reveals a property's level of energy efficiency, an EPC is helpful to landlords and potential buyers/tenants. If the property gets a poor rating, the potential buyer or tenant will be aware that the property's energy costs may be excessive, which can be a deal-breaker. The energy efficiency of a single residence is rated on an EPC (Domestic Energy Performance Certificate) from A (extremely energy efficient) to G. (not energy efficient). Beginning in 2007, EPCs were gradually incorporated into EU law and have continued to change ever since. The certificate is based on an evaluation of your home's energy-using appliances, such as your boiler and lights, as well as any measures in place to reduce your energy use, like wall insulation and heatin...
