the commercial energy performance certificate
This Non-Domestic EPC shows the energy rating of the building. It indicates the energy efficiency of the building fabric and the heating, ventilation, cooling and lighting systems. The rating is compared with two benchmarks, one appropriate for new buildings and one appropriate for a similar existing building.
Also shown is the unique Report Reference Number assigned to the EPC when it is lodged on the Non-Domestic EPC Register
commercial energy performance asset rating
The Commercial EPC with show the Energy Rating from a Band A to a Band G.
Commercial premises with a large quantity of solar panels will like to be and the upper bands, but premises with lights that are not low energy are likely to be in the lower bands.

Examples of Level 4 and 5 premises include large supermarkets and office blocks with a large plant rooms for ducted air conditioning.
- Primarly Energy Use. This gives and indication of the amount of energy used buy the buiding over a twelve month period.
- Benchmarks. This compares the current building with a new build and a building of similar use.
