A commercial Energy Performance Certificate records the energy efficiency of a property with ratings from A-G, similar to the labels provided for domestic appliances.
It is produced using standard methods and assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of a building can easily be compared with another. This allows prospective tenants, owners, occupiers and purchasers to analyse survey information on the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of their building.
A commercial EPC is also accompanied by a recommendation report that lists measures to improve the energy rating of a property.
