What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and why do you need one?

Energy Performance ratings are often used in decision making on whether to buy or let a property. Commercial buildings are legally bound to provide an Energy Performance Certificate so that potential buyers can make an informed decision as to whether the property is energy efficient, the advantage of commercial EPC’s being that the report comes complete with a thorough recommendations report detailing how the energy performance can be improved.

The benefits of a commercial EPC

Safety First Group can provide energy performance certificates to multiple premises, ensuring that you have complete transparency about your building’s energy performance and carbon emission grade from A to G. An average rating for commercial properties is D/E, with the best score being ‘A’. Once you receive your report, including recommendations for improvement, you are one step closer to increasing your grade and making your commercial premises more attractive to buyers.
