Non-Domestic EPC’S are also known as commercial EPC’s. This certificate will give an overview of the energy efficiency of the building, based upon CO2 emissions. Our assessors are qualified at level 3 and level 4 awards. This allows our assessors to perform EPC’s on smaller shops and premises as well as larger and more complex ones. We are also trained to provide assessments for non-domestic on construction properties.

Energy performance certificates are used to overview the energy performance and efficiency of the building.

The report not only gives a rating from A-G (A is the highest) but gives recommendations to improve the efficiency and rating.

Commercial EPCs are rated more highly based upon a lower net annual CO2 emissions rating. For example, 0-25 is awarded an A rating.

Before the assessment – the assessor will collect any relevant information that may affect the property.

For example, they may ask you for evidence of property age, or anything that could support the rating.

The assessor will do some research and may ask for floor plans. It is essential that plant rooms are accessible, as with other areas of the property. Our assessor will confirm the appointment date and time with you.

The assessor will be taking site notes and photographs. This is to prove anything found in the property. Remember, if they cannot see it and there is no evidence, they cannot include it. The assessor will do some of (but not limited to) the following things:

• Dating the property
• Identifying constructions (floors/walls/roofs/glazing)
• Identifying the purposes of different parts of the property. This will allow the assessor to “zone” the property
• Identify the heating, ventilation and cooling services within the premises
• Identify the lighting present
• Measure the various zones within the property

What happens after the visit?
The assessor will perform a variety of calculations for each zone, such as the floor areas and glazing. All information will be entered into the iSBEM software, which will the support the generating of the EPC.

Your assessor will have stored the photos collected on site and will keep these for 15 years. They will enter the elements identified and measurements into their software. This will generate the EPC and recommendations.

The assessor is available to discuss the findings and recommendations if required. This should support your next steps.
