If you’re new to commercial property transactions or energy assessments, viewing a real Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) can help you understand what it looks like and what information it contains.

A Commercial EPC is not just a document — it’s a detailed evaluation of a building’s energy use and efficiency. Below is a breakdown of a sample EPC certificate and what each section means for property owners, landlords, tenants, and agents.

 What Does a Commercial EPC Look Like?

Although we can’t display the full document here, a typical Commercial EPC includes key sections such as:

1. Building Details

This section includes:

  • Property type and address

  • Floor area and construction descriptions

  • Heating, cooling, and lighting systems

Understanding this helps you see how assessors quantify your building’s energy profile.

2. Energy Efficiency Rating

Most certificates include a chart with:

  • A scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient)

  • Your current rating clearly highlighted

  • Estimated energy costs

Buildings with lower ratings may need improvement measures to reach MEES compliance.

3. Environmental Impact (CO₂ Emissions)

This section shows your building’s carbon output:

  • Measured in tonnes of CO₂ per year

  • Helps prospective buyers or tenants understand environmental impact

Sustainable buildings often appeal more to modern businesses.

4. Recommendations for Improvement

A sample EPC typically includes:

  • Practical improvement options (e.g., LED lighting upgrades)

  • Estimated cost ranges

  • Potential savings

  • Energy rating uplift potential

These recommendations help you plan upgrades that boost efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Why Seeing a Real Example Helps

Viewing a real EPC example allows you to:

  • Familiarise yourself with the format before your assessment

  • Understand how efficiency ratings are calculated

  • See actionable suggestions for improving your rating

  • Prepare documents for property sales or leases
