Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) do more than assess a building’s energy efficiency—they also influence how building owners and managers plan and execute maintenance strategies. Understanding this impact helps ensure that maintenance supports both operational performance and energy savings.
What is an EPC?
An EPC evaluates a building’s energy efficiency based on its structure, heating, ventilation, and lighting systems, assigning a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also provides recommendations for improvements.
How EPCs Influence Maintenance Strategies
1. Prioritizing Energy-Related Repairs and Upgrades
EPC reports highlight key areas such as insulation defects, inefficient heating systems, or outdated windows that require maintenance or replacement, guiding resource allocation.
2. Scheduling Preventive Maintenance
Regular maintenance of HVAC systems, boilers, and controls is critical to maintaining energy efficiency, as identified through EPC assessments.
3. Supporting Budget Planning
By identifying cost-effective energy improvements, EPCs help managers plan maintenance budgets that optimize both energy savings and building longevity.
4. Enhancing Building Performance Monitoring
Incorporating EPC recommendations into maintenance routines allows ongoing tracking of energy performance and early detection of issues.
5. Aligning with Sustainability Goals
Maintenance strategies guided by EPC insights contribute to reducing carbon footprints and complying with energy regulations.
