Providing an EPC rating of E or above for non-domestic properties has been a requirement since 2018. With over 15 years in the industry, our team can determine the energy efficiency rating of your building. Our accredited, non-domestic energy assessors can offer advice ahead of time and provide solutions to improve your results.
If your building doesn’t meet the required standard of an ‘E’, we are on hand to help you make sure your it meets Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
Why Do I Need a Non-Domestic EPC?
All non-domestic buildings require an EPC when sold or let. Additionally, to comply with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) Regulations (2018), the property must have an EPC rating of E or above.
The EPC rating measures the energy efficiency of a non-domestic building. A good EPC rating is important for several reasons: firstly, it is required to meet MEES regulations for leasing; secondly, a poor EPC rating can impact the property’s market value; and thirdly, many banks and other funding institutions require an EPC before approving funding.
Our Process
If you need an EPC for a non-domestic property our team can help.
Calculating the energy performance of a building is a complex process. Our accredited assessors look at the type of construction of the building, function of each useable area within the building, the occupancy profile for each zone and which systems are used.
The EPC is broken down into a rating with a corresponding letter. Ratings for Non-Domestic buildings are based solely on CO2 emissions. To determine this, our assessors first carry out a site survey to gather information about the building before entering it into an approved software programme.
An EPC site survey will likely take between 30 mins and 4 hours dependent on the building size and complexity. On return to the office, our assessor creates a 3D energy model using specialised accredited software, performs the required calculations, and generates the EPC rating in line with current regulations.
If the building does not meet the minimum E rating requirement, simple improvement measures can be suggested. For more complex cases, or if the owner wants to future-proof the building for upcoming MEES regulations, a bespoke EPC Improvement Report (EIR) is recommended, outlining tailored solutions to achieve the desired rating.
What factors are considered in EPC calculations?
The mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems in a non-domestic building have a strong influence on the overall EPC rating. They should be the primary focus when looking to improve the rating quickly. Additionally, enhancing the building’s thermal properties, such as insulation and glazing can further contribute to a better rating.
What Should an EPC for a Non-Domestic Dwelling Contain?
As well as the energy efficiency rating, a non-domestic EPC must contain reference information such as the unique certificate report reference number, the address of the building, the date of issue of the certificate and details of your energy assessor.
