Residential EPC
An Energy Performance Certificate, often termed a Residential EPC or a Domestic EPC were introduced by UK Government to help improve energy efficiency across new-build or conversion dwellings. A Residential EPC is mandatory for dwellings when being sold or let out.
The energy efficiency of a building is scored, ratings from most energy efficient, A to least energy efficient G. These rating are often used by homebuyers or tenants to make energy comparisons between properties.
Energy is a bigger topic right now than ever. Most of us have become more conscious of how much energy we use within the home, what affects the and what can be done to improve the efficiency of a dwelling.
A Residential EPC rating will depend on:
The amount of energy used per m²
The level of carbon dioxide emissions (given in tonnes per year)
A Residential EPC is valid for 10 years from the time when they are produced. A dwelling can only have one valid commercial EPC. When a residential building goes through a significant update for example a change to the fabric of the building, significant extension additions to the property and/or changes to the provision of fixed services then a new residential EPC will be required. EPCs are also a useful tool for homeowners to improve the efficiency, running cost and thus the overall comfort of their home. For a new-build, conversion or extension our energy assessor will examines key items upon the architects building regulation drawings such as loft insulation, domestic boiler, hot water tank, radiators, windows for double glazing. Once this information is obtained it is then placed into a software programme which carries out and calculates the level of energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
