All commercial buildings in the UK are required by law to have a Commercial Energy Performance certificate (or Commercial EPC). This document acts as a provable measure of a building’s energy efficiency, providing a rating which indicates its impact on the environment.
Commercial EPC ratings form a large part of this country’s commitment to preventing global warming, having been introduced as a direct result of an EU directive. The UK has pledged to reduce its CO2 emissions by 20% in time for 2020, with initiatives such as the awarding of commercial energy performance certificates having an important role to play.
A commercial energy performance certificate works in much the same way as a residential EPC, assessing properties on factors such as the materials used in their construction and the degree of insulation they have. Once all this has been taken into account, a grade is given from A to G, along with advice on how to improve a building’s rating. This can lead to significant savings for commercial property owners.
Due to the vastly varying nature of commercial buildings, the process of obtaining a commercial EPC can be complicated but help is at hand. With EEC, you can arrange an Commercial EPC with ease. Enquire now to stay in line with the regulations and unlock the savings offered by Commercial Energy Performance Certificates.
Non-compliance with commercial EPC legislation will result in a penalty. The penalty is of up to 12.5% of the rateable value of the property, with a minimum of £500 and a maximum of £5,000. This is in addition to the cost of a compliant commercial EPC.
Who doesn’t need a Commercial EPC?
Under current commercial EPC legislation, a Commercial EPC is not required on the following exempt premises:
- On lease renewals or extensions that were in place prior to January 2009
- Places of worship
- Properties with consent to be demolished within a 2 year period
How long does the Assessment take?
A Commercial EPC Assessment can take anywhere between 1 and 3 hours to complete depending on the size of the premises. Very small premises can take slightly less than 1 hour to complete.
How long does the Commercial EPC last for?
The Commercial EPC lasts for 10 years from the date of the certificate.
