Commercial Energy Performance Certificates

A Commercial EPC, also known as a Non-Domestic EPC, shows how energy efficient a commercial building is, along with practical recommendations to improve it. We carry out accredited assessments for offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units and other non-domestic premises, from a single building to a whole portfolio.

What is a Commercial EPC?

A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate assesses how energy efficient a non-domestic building is, rating it from A+ (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It is produced by a qualified Non-Domestic Energy Assessor following an on-site survey covering the building fabric, heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and hot water systems.

The certificate sets out the building’s asset rating, which is based on the building and its services rather than how it is currently used, and is supported by a recommendation report listing measures that could improve its performance.
