ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES
'Providing detailed information on the energy efficiency of a building'
From the 1st October 2008 the majority of commercial and industrial buildings being offered for sale or letting (including sub-letting) will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to reflect the energy performance of the accommodation on offer.
The EPC will provide a rating and suggested improvements for the building so the potential buyer or tenant can consider energy efficiency as part of their investment or business decision.
EPC's can only be produced by accredited Energy Assessors and advice on the correct level of inspection is essential. Positive Steps work in association with qualified Building Surveyors who have undergone the RICS (Royal Society for Chartered Surveyors) approved 'Level 4 EPC Commercial Assessors Scheme'.
For more information on EPC's please contact us for more information.
