ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
Sale or Rent: As soon as
the building is offered for sale or rent the Seller/Landlord must make
an EPC available to the prospective purchaser or tenant. This is to allow
the potential buyer or tenant to make an informed decision on energy costs.)
The EPC will show the assets rating for the building - a theoretical value for how much energy and CO2 the building will consume or emit. It will also give a list of recommendations to reduce the running costs and emissions.
There are 3 levels of classification for non domestic properties:
- Level 3: Any commercial premises with a heating system under 100KW and cooling system under 12kw
- Level 4: Buildings with heating systems over 100kw and cooling over 12kw.
- Level 5: Large commercial buildings with very complex HVAC systems
The above certificates can only be produced by a licensed and government accredited assessor.
