When do I need an EPC?
If you are instigating a commercial property transaction yourself or on behalf of a landlord it is a legal requirement to have an Energy Performance Certificate in place to form part of the marketing and legal paper work. The trigger will be the point at which the property is presented to the market.
Domestic Energy Performance Certificates:
Building Efficiency and Sustainable Technologies LTD have a trained team with a wealth of experience in all aspects of EPC certification.
Our cost effective, fast and reliable service has made us the provider of choice for many of our clients.
Commercial Energy Performance level 3 and 4:
The definition for a Level 3 and Level 4 energy performance survey is that the building is classed as a Non-Dwelling; i.e. for commercial use only. The difference between the levels of the survey is due to the complexity of the heating and ventilation system installed. Here at B.E.S.T Ltd we have fully trained and accredited surveyors capable of surveying commercial properties to both Levels 3 and 4. Our energy efficiency report will include the current performance of the building; as the grade index of an EPC report can have a direct effect on both the value and rental prospects of the building. Once an EPC has been issued it will remain valid for 10 years unless any significant change occurs within this time period.
Our SBEM calculations (Simplified Building Energy Model) show our clients how to recoup their investment in Green technologies in 4 stages.
1.With a short term payback – within 3 years
2.With a medium term payback - Between 3 to 7 years
3.With a long term payback – over 7 years
4.Further recommendations based on our expert knowledge of the Sustainable Technologies market and potential government funded schemes that our client may be eligible for.
EPCs will be ever increasing in importance as 2018 nears, with an estimated 15-20% of all buildings currently with an F or G rating. Buildings graded “E” in 2008 have the potential to be a grade “G”, due to changes in building regulations, by 2018.
B.E.S.T Ltd provide a unique, cost effective, service to your business to ensure that you are compliant to this legislation prior to 2018.
