What is an Energy Performance Certificate?


An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a report on the energy efficiency of you home. The report contains graphs, as shown in the sample below, which give a current and potential energy rating.



The efficiency rating is determined by criteria which the Domestic Energy Assossor (DEA) is trained to analyse. Some of the things they look at are listed here:

  • The approximate year of construction
  • Size of property
  • Construction materials
  • Glazing materials
  • Heating system - Boiler, thermostats, controls etc
