What is an Energy Performance Certificate and why do I need one?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a measure of a home's performance in terms of the following:
- its energy use per square meter of floor area
- energy efficiency based on fuel costs
- its environmental impact based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
The higher the Energy Efficiency rating and Environmental Impact rating, the more efficient the home is and less impact it has on the environment.
The survey results are shown in a graph form:
Under Article 7 of the European Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) any residential building offered for sale, or rented out must have an Energy Performance Certificate. Effective from July 2011 any property rented out as a holiday home for more than 12 weeks per annum will also require an EPC.
