Commercial Energy
Performance Certificates
Covering Oxford, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Aylesbury, Birmingham, London

An Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is intended to inform potential buyers or tenants about the energy performance of a building, so they can consider energy efficiency as part of their investment or business decision to buy or occupy that building. Commercial buildings are responsible for 20% of all UK CO² emissions and the government is committed to reducing these emissions under the Kyoto protocol. EPCs are a vital part of the government’s strategy for achieving this.

An Commercial EPC will provide an energy rating for a building which is based on the performance potential of the building itself (the fabric) and its services (such as heating, ventilation and lighting). The energy rating given on the certificate reflects the intrinsic energy performance standard of the building relative to a benchmark which can then be used to make comparisons with comparable properties.

It is accompanied by a recommendation report, which provides recommendations on how the energy performance of the building could be enhanced and how to reduce CO2 emissions, together with an indication of the payback period.
