Commercial Property Energy Performance Certificates.

From 1 October 2008 onwards an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) will be required on the construction, sale or renting out of all but exempted commercial premises. Display certificates will be required for all public buildings in excess of 1,000 m².

The exemptions are narrow and relate to:

* Small non-residential buildings with a floor area <50m².
* Buildings used primarily or solely as places of worship.
* Temporary buildings with a planned time of use of two years or less, industrial sites, workshops and non-residential agricultural buildings with low energy demand.

The definition of “building” includes “a reference to part of a building which has been designed or altered to be used separately”. This definition is considered to mean that if a tenant in a multi-let building decides to assign or sublet its premises, then the whole of the building will need to be assessed.

If you require an Energy Performance Certificate for a commercial property, please complete the form below. We will assign the nearest assessor to contact you.

We hope that the facility we have provided above for enquiring via this website proves easy to understand and to use, but if not, your feedback would be appreciated. Please click HERE to provide it should you so wish.
