Commercial / Non-Domestic Energy Performance Certificate – EPC

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are a crucial aspect of measuring the energy efficiency and carbon production of a commercial building. Structurally Green UK and EPCs lead the way to provide accurate energy data of commercial building stock in England and Wales.

An EPC provides an energy efficiency rating for commercial buildings, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Non-Domestic EPCs are a legal requirement for almost all commercial buildings but also a valuable tool for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

What are Non-Domestic EPCs? Non-Domestic EPCs are assessments of the energy performance of commercial buildings in the UK. They are conducted by accredited energy assessors who evaluate the building’s construction, insulation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems using a variety of calculations and analysis. The EPC includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency, which can lead to significant cost savings over time and can improve the desirability and / or value of a property for both buyers and renters / lettings.

Why are Non-Domestic EPCs required? The requirement for Non-Domestic EPCs stems from the UK’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting energy efficiency. Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, it is a legal requirement to have a valid EPC whenever a commercial building is sold, rented, or constructed. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties.

When are Non-Domestic EPCs needed? Non-Domestic EPCs are needed whenever a commercial property is built, sold, or rented. An EPC is valid for ten years, but it is recommended to get a new one if significant energy efficiency improvements have been made to the building.

Purpose of Non-Domestic EPCs The purpose of Non-Domestic EPCs is to inform owners, tenants, and potential buyers about the energy performance and carbon generation of a building. They provide valuable information on how to reduce energy and carbon use, save money and contribute to a greener environment. By implementing the recommended improvements, businesses can enhance their energy efficiency, reduce their carbon footprint, and potentially increase their property value.

Leading the Way: Non-Domestic EPCs play a vital role in the UK’s strategy for energy conservation and climate change mitigation. They encourage the adoption of energy-efficient practices in commercial buildings, contributing to a sustainable and energy-efficient future.

	Spending Our Energy to Save Yours: Our EPC’s are conducted with meticulous detail to ensure that the building is audited accurately. Every specification, measurement and calculation, even the smallest one such as the model number of an occupancy sensor, can make a difference to the EPC Score. An inaccurate EPC score can lead to unnecessary upgrades being made to the building for it to comply with Building Regulations, which often incur huge costs. The building’s retail value could also be negatively impacted if all essential data is not analysed correctly, which is critical when selling or letting a commercial building. Commissioning Structurally Green UK to conduct your EPC’s will provide the most accurate results provided by a dedicated, responsive and friendly team who are happy to work with a range of project sizes, from a small workshop, to groups of commercial buildings requiring a long-term focus.
