What Is An EPC Certificate?
An EPC Certificate is a certification from the United Kingdom’s Building Standards Board (BSB) that a building meets environmental and performance requirements. It is typically required for buildings over 10,000 sq ft in size and can help to reduce energy consumption, improve indoor air quality, and lower running costs.
To obtain an EPC Certificate for your building, you must first be assessed by an accredited assessor. After completing the assessment, you will need to submit documentation to the Building Standards Board (BSB), such as floor plans, drawings, calculations, and evidence of compliance. The BSB will then issue you with an EPC Certificate.

Requirements For An EPC Certificate
An EPC certificate can also serve as an internationally recognised building certification that confirms a property meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. Depending on the type of building, an EPC certificate can also confirm compliance with specific regulations, such as those relating to energy efficiency and carbon dioxide emission.
To obtain an EPC certificate for a property in the UK, you will first need to gather all of the required documentation. This includes:
- Completed application form.
- Proof of ownership (such as a deed or title deed).
- A completed zoning survey (if applicable).
- Copies of any relevant permits or licences.
- Valid proof of insurance cover against fire and theft.
- Pricing information for similar properties in your locality.
Once you have assembled the required documents, you will need to submit them to your local authority. Your local authority will then contact the certifying body - in this case, usually UL - and request that they certify your property as meeting EU safety and environmental standards. Once UL has approved your application, they will send you an EPC certificate.
