Commercial EPCs

Commercial Energy Performance Certificates are often misunderstood. Here is how non-domestic assessments are produced, priced and used.

Commercial EPCs

A Commercial (non-domestic) EPC rates a building's energy performance using approved software such as SBEM. It is required when a commercial property is sold, let or newly constructed, and like a domestic certificate it remains valid for ten years.

Assessment levels

  • Level 3 — simple buildings with standard heating and ventilation
  • Level 4 — buildings with more complex or centralised services
  • Level 5 — dynamic simulation modelling for the most complex buildings

What the survey involves

The assessor zones the building by activity and servicing strategy, then records construction, glazing, lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation and controls for each zone. Drawings and O&M manuals speed this up considerably and reduce the number of pessimistic default assumptions.

Pricing

Our Commercial EPCs are priced by floor area, starting at £99 plus VAT for units up to 50 m² and rising in clear fixed bands. For portfolios or buildings above 5,000 m², call 0203 488 2554 and we will scope the project with you.
