An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides information about the energy efficiency of a building or property. It is typically required when a property is being sold or rented out in many countries, including the European Union and the United Kingdom, as well as various other regions around the world.
To obtain an EPC, a qualified energy assessor typically assesses the property and rates its energy performance on a scale, often using a rating system like A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G being the least. The certificate also includes information about the property's energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and potential energy-saving measures.
In summary
An Energy Performance Certificate is required in many regions to provide information about a property's energy efficiency, environmental impact, and potential energy-saving improvements. It helps promote energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and inform property buyers and renters about the energy performance of the buildings they are considering.
