An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a document that shows how energy efficient a building is. It's rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
EPC ratings are calculated based on factors like insulation, windows, and heating systems. A higher rating means lower energy bills and a more environmentally friendly home.
The EPC rating is calculated using the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). It takes into account the building's construction, heating, and lighting to provide an energy efficiency score.
Researchers at UCL have developed a study on the calculation of EPC ratings. The study highlights the importance of accurate data input to achieve a reliable EPC rating.
Use our free EPC calculator to estimate your building's energy performance rating. Simply input your building's details, and our tool will provide an estimated EPC rating.
A recent BBC news article discusses the importance of EPC ratings for homeowners and buyers. It highlights how a good EPC rating can increase a property's value.
The UK government has set targets to improve energy efficiency in buildings. EPC ratings play a crucial role in achieving these targets by providing a standardized measure of energy performance.
Watch our video guide to understand how EPC ratings are calculated and what they mean for your property. The video provides a step-by-step explanation of the EPC process.
