EPCs promote the improvement of the energy performance of buildings and are intended to identify ways in which the energy consumption of buildings and associated costs can be reduced. While this guidance aims to explain how the requirements work in practice, any interpretation of the regulations is offered only as a guide.
An EPC is intended to provide prospective buyers and tenants of a building with correct information about the energy performance of the building and practical advice on improving such performance.
An EPC includes recommendations on how the energy performance of the building can be improved (to reduce running costs) together with an indication of the payback period. There is no statutory requirement to carry out any of the recommended energy efficiency measures stated. Which buildings require EPCs?
The CCC also recommend a cost metric remain based upon the EER or a similar mechanism. Energy costs vs energy performance: The use of the EER as the headline metric for domestic EPCs means that the certificate treats regulated energy costs at a point in time and energy performance as synonymous.
The regulations require an EPC to be given free of charge to the person who becomes the buyer or tenant of the building. An EPC shows the energy efficiency rating on an A–G rating scale for a building. The EPC includes recommendations on how to improve energy efficiency.
As with energy prices, changes to the emissions factors used could cause buildings to move between EPC bands without any change in a building's energy performance, at the point of EPC renewal. This can mean moving in or out of compliance with regulations or eligibility for financial support, which is potentially very disruptive.
