Order Your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

What is an Energy Performance Certificate?

Buildings when constructed, sold or rented out, including homes, public sector buildings and business premises will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

The EPC will give owners better information about the carbon dioxide emissions from their buildings.

For example, every new home in Scotland will require a certificate when it is constructed and every existing home will need one when it is sold or rented.

They include simple cost-effective home improvement measures that will help save energy, reduce bills and cut carbon dioxide emissions.

An EPC is a document which reports the energy efficiency of a building calculated in a standardised way.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ratings of both as built or as found buildings are prominently displayed in bandings from A to G, with A being least polluting – along with an indication of potentially enhanced rating if certain energy efficiency measures were undertaken.
