What are Energy Certificates?
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) provides a rating for your home in its present condition and also a rating for its potential if certain energy saving improvements are undertaken. The overall assessment is based on a sliding scale of A to F, where A is the highest level (i.e. most efficient) and G (less energy efficient). To simplify the rating scales a similar method to that used for home appliances (e.g. fridges, freezers etc) was adopted.
Who can issue a Domestic Energy Assessment?
A qualified Domestic Energy Assessor is responsible for the issue of and EPC or Energy Performance Certificate for Domestic premises and in the case of a Commercial EPC a qualified Commercial Buildings Assessor.
The Green Deal
The green deal scheme will have a significant impact on the future development of energy certificates for businesses and homeowners. Several new factors will be incorporated into the data collected, particularly Renewable Energy sources found on site and the introduction of the UK Renewable Heat Incentive. Find out more about the Green Deal scheme in the UK.
EPC Data Collectors
Under recent guidelines from CLG (Communities and Local Government) a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor must visit the premises to ensure that the data and fulfilments of the EPC are met. Otherwise the EPC will be invalid. This validity also applies to Commercial & Landlord and Rented premises. A data collector for domestic properties or commercial properties cannot issue an Energy Performance Certificate for your property. Check that the assessor visiting your premises is authorised to issue your Energy Certificate.
Typical ratings are shown below for home assessment.
