Energy Performance Certificates (public and commercial buildings)
Anderson Mechanical Services can produce Energy Performance Certificates. EPCs are now required for all commercial buildings whenever built, rented or sold.
 |
The certificate records how energy efficient a property is as a building and provides A-G ratings. These are similar to the labels now provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. |
They are produced using standard methods and assumptions about energy usage
so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with
another building of the same type. This allows prospective buyers, tenants,
owners, occupiers and purchasers to see information on the energy efficiency
and carbon emissions from their building so they can consider energy
efficiency and fuel costs as part of their investment.
An EPC is always accompanied by a recommendation report that lists cost
effective and other measures (such as low and zero carbon generating
systems) to improve the energy rating. A rating is also given showing what
could be achieved if all the recommendations were implemented.
The certificate is important because nearly 50 per cent of the UK's energy
consumption and carbon emissions arise from the way our buildings are lit,
heated and used. Even comparatively minor changes in energy performance and
the way we use each building will have a significant effect in reducing
energy consumption.
If you need an EPC feel free to call Anderson Mechanical Services for a
quotation.
