Energy Performance Certificates are required for all commercial buildings whenever built, rented or sold.
Like residential EPCs they are intended to inform potential buyers or tenants about the energy performance of a building, so they can consider energy efficiency as part of their investment or business decision to buy or occupy that building.
Certain commercial premises do not require EPCs, these are:
If you are in doubt as to whether your premises falls within one of these categories please call ecoEPCs for clarification.

Once all this information has been gathered the data is entered into the government approved software, the certificate can then generated.
The area highlighted in yellow indicates the locations we will assess for a single Commercial EPC.
If you require multiple EPCs outside this area then we would be happy to travel further. Please call us to discuss.
