Energy performance rating

Energy performance rating is a score or label that shows how energy-efficient a building is. It assesses how well a property uses energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances. A higher rating indicates the building uses energy more effectively, leading to lower utility bills and less environmental impact. Think of it like a mileage rating for a car—better scores mean the property is more economical and sustainable to run. This rating helps homeowners, buyers, and tenants understand the building’s energy costs and environmental footprint, encouraging improvements to reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency.
