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
