Commercial EPC
EPC for Commercial Buildings
A Commercial EPC (Non-Domestic EPC) is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties such as shops, offices, factories and warehouses which are sold, rented (built, converted or extended) within the UK and gives the building an 'energy efficiency rating' on a scale of 'A' to 'G'.
A Commercial EPC can only be produced by an accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) and is valid for ten years. Once produced, it is lodged on the Government’s National Non-Domestic EPC Register and is designed to give potential buyers and tenants some basic information about the building’s energy efficiency rating. This is so they can better understand the costs of running the building and changes or improvements they might wish to consider.
SBEM Assessment
When a new commercial building is being built it requires a much more detailed assessment often called an ‘SBEM Assessment’ which in addition to producing a Non-Domestic EPC Certificate also produces a ‘BRUKL Report’ which confirms that the building will comply with Part L of the Building Regulations. This is a far more in-depth assessment and therefore must be undertaken by a more experienced Level 4 Non-Domestic Energy Assessor.
Display Energy Certificate (DEC)
Public Buildings such as libraries, hospitals and council buildings may also require an additional type of EPC which is displayed in the public areas to display notify the energy efficiency rating of the building to visitors. This type of energy certificate is called a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) and must be produced by a DEC Assessor.
A Display Energy Certificate is updated on an annual basis to demonstrate to 'the public' the progress that is being made.
