Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

What happens to Energy Performance Certificates once they're complete?

All domestic Energy Performance Certificates are lodged in a central database. Energy Assessors (through their Accreditation Schemes) lodge them as they produce them, and each is given a unique reference number. Access to the database is restricted, so only those who have the unique reference number can access the certificate for a particular property.

Not all buildings are used in the same way. However, energy ratings use 'standard occupancy' assumptions, which might be different from the specific way you use your building. What different methods of calculation are used for homes and for other buildings?

All the methodologies used to produce Energy Performance Certificates consider factors such as the size, age, location of a building, and how it's heated, lit and insulated.

• For domestic homes, the method used is called Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure.
• For commercial properties, the method is called Simplified Building Energy Model.
• For operational ratings for display certificates, a new methodology is being developed.

• How can I get an Energy Performance Certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate can be commissioned as a standalone document or, more commonly, as part of a Home Information Pack.
