The EPC rating scale in the UK ranges from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), with band A having a score of 92-100 and band G having a score of 0-20.
The Energy Performance Certificate rating scale is divided into 7 bands: A (92-100), B (81-91), C (69-80), D (55-68), E (39-54), F (21-38), and G (0-20).
The EPC rating scale takes into account factors such as insulation, windows, and heating systems to provide a score from 1-100, which is then banded from A to G.
Research suggests that EPC ratings can have a significant impact on property values, with higher-rated properties (bands A-C) commanding a premium.

A recent study found that properties with higher EPC ratings (bands A-C) can sell for up to 10% more than those with lower ratings (bands D-G).
