What is a Commercial EPC
Commercial EPC's, sometimes referred to as Non Domestic EPC’s (NDEPC) or Business EPC's are the method in which a commercial property is scored on its carbon footprint
​​
​
They are calculated against the notional energy performance
capability of the building and expressed on an A to G colour coded bar chart scale,
The rating is based on the CO2 emissions of the building, factoring in the building's construction fabric and heating, cooling and lighting services. A report of recommendations accompanies the certificate and sets out suggestions to improve the energy efficiency of the building in short, medium and long payback periods
​​​
Why do you need one?
​
As of April 2023 every commercial property must by law have a valid EPC with a minimum rating of E this shall become uplifted to a C rating by April 2027 and looking to improve to a B rating as of April 2030.
