EPC | Energy Performance Certificate

What is EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for most commercial and residential properties in the UK when they are built, sold, or rented. It provides a rating of the building’s energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with recommendations for reducing energy consumption. 

At CES, we provide fast, accurate EPC assessments by our expert team. Whether you manage a single property or a large portfolio, we’ll help you meet your obligations — and use the EPC insights to guide energy-saving improvements. 

Who Needs an EPC?

You are required to have a valid EPC if you: 

  • Sell or lease a commercial property 
  • Construct a new building 
  • Own a building that has undergone significant alterations 
  • Are you a landlord or property manager preparing space for new tenants 

 

A certified non-domestic energy assessor must complete the EPC for commercial properties
