Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are now required for all commercial buildings whenever built, rented or sold in accordance with the current legislation for the following:

  • Retail Units
  • Shops
  • Offices
  • Rental Property

  • The property has no heating/cooling or internal climate control
  • Places of Worship (e.g. churches, Temples, Mosques) 
  • Temporary Buildings In Use For Less Than 2 Years (Portable Buildings and Site Buildings)
