Benefits of getting an Energy Performance Certificate for your property It is mandatory to get the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of your property if you are planning to sell, rent or lease your commercial property. EPC gives you the rating of the property. The EPC comes with a rating from A to G where “A” being the most energy efficient and “G” is being the least Energy Efficient. From 1st April 2018 you need to have a rating of at least “E” in order to sell, rent or lease your commercial property. If your property does not achieve “E” rating you need to improve Energy rating by doing some or all of the recommendations on the report. Why Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is Important? Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) helps new buyer/occupier to estimate the cost of Energy Bills before they buy or rent the property. A good rating of EPC means less bills for buyer/occupier. If EPC rating is bad that means new owner/occupier will have to spend more in conditioning the property hence more bills. Some of the benefits for an Energy Performance Certificate are given below:
Energy Survey
During the EPC survey a qualified Energy Assessor looks at your heating and Colling system, Construction type, Windows, lighting at the property and different types of insulation. Energy Assessor collects all the information during the site visit and prepares a report with the recommendations. These recommendations will help to improve the Energy Rating of the property hence less energy bills.
Professional advice
After the Energy Survey is done if your property does not meet minimum Energy Rating of “E”, we can help you to achieve “E” rating by recommending more personalised and cost-effective energy measures. We can do this by running different scenarios in the software e.g by changing helogen lights to LED lights etc.
Saving energy
By adopting recommendations on the report you will automatically reduce the total energy consumption. Improving Energy efficiency will also provide more comfortable working environment for your workers
Become environment friendly
More energy efficient properties use less energy hence less CO2 emission. By adopting recommendations, you help to reduce CO2 emission and save the environment.
