Domestic EPCs An Energy Performance Certificate is required for all homes whenever built, rented or sold. They are produced using standard methods and assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of the building can easily be compared.This allows prospective buyers and tenants to access information on the energy efficiency and carbon emissions from the building in question. They should then be able to can make informed decisions about matching the suitability of the building to their budget. A list of recommendations is included in the EPC which highlights the ways in which the energy performance of the building can be improved.
Energy Performance Certificates tell you how energy efficient a home is on a scale of A-G. The most efficient homes - which should have the lowest fuel bills - are in band A.The Certificate also tells you, on a scale of A-G, about the impact the home has on the environment. Better-rated homes should have less impact through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The average property in the UK is in bands D-E for both ratings. The Certificate includes recommendations on ways to improve the home's energy efficiency to save you money and help the environment. Sellers of newly built homes will have to provide a predicted assessment of the energy efficiency of the property, but a full Energy Performance Certificate should be provided to the buyer when the home is completed |
