The price of a Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) varies much more than a domestic EPC because commercial buildings differ greatly in size, layout, and complexity.
Instead of bedrooms, the cost is based on:
Floor area (square metres)
Building use
Number of floors
Heating and cooling systems
Site access and survey time
Typical Commercial EPC Prices (2026)

| Warehouse / industrial | £250 – £900+ |
| Multi-unit building | £500 – £2,000+ |
