Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are documents that provide information about the energy efficiency of a building. They use a rating system from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), based on factors like insulation, heating, and energy use. An EPC is required when a property is sold or rented, helping potential buyers or tenants understand the energy costs associated with that property. It also suggests improvements to enhance efficiency, potentially lowering energy bills and environmental impact. EPCs promote energy conservation and informed decisions in the real estate market.
