Non Domestic EPC Register

Definitive Guide to Non Domestic EPC Register

If you're looking for information on the non domestic EPC Register, you've come to the right place. Here, we'll give you a comprehensive overview of what the non domestic EPC Register is, what it contains, and how you can access it.

EPCs are required by law for all non domestic EPC register buildings whenever they are built, sold, or rented. They contain information on the energy efficiency of a building, and give recommendations on how to improve it.

The non domestic EPC Register contains the following information for each EPC:

• The address of the building.
• The type of building.
• The date of the EPC.
• The energy rating of the building.

Recommendations On How To Improve The Energy Efficiency Of The Building

You can access the non domestic EPC Register through MyConstructor. To do so, you'll need to provide your name, contact details, and the address of the building you're interested in. Once you've done that, you'll be able to view the EPC for that building.

EPCs are valid for 10 years, so if you're looking at an EPC that's more than 10 years old, it's important to bear in mind that the information may not be accurate.

If you're planning on making improvements to the energy efficiency of your non domestic EPC register building, we recommend that you get an up-to-date EPC before you start work. That way, you can be sure that you're making the most of your investment.

What Is An Non Domestic Energy Performance Certificate?

The non domestic EPC Register is a database of energy performance certificates (EPCs) for non domestic EPC register buildings in the United Kingdom. The non domestic EPC register is maintained by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

NDEPC (sometimes abbreviated as EPC) certificates are required for commercial buildings under construction, for sale or rent, and are a rating of the energy performance potential of the building and its services. 

They are generated using calculations and are accompanied by a report that includes recommendations on how to improve the energy performance of the building, as well as an indication of payback periods.

Do You Require A Non Domestic EPC Register?

Business and commercial properties, like residential homes, require an Energy Performance Certificate before they may be rented or sold. As a result, before you can exchange contracts with a prospective buyer or leaseholder, you must have the non-domestic EPC register allocation in place.

Any commercial building made available for rent must have an EPC rating of Band E or higher as of April 2018. If the banding is a F or G, the building must be upgraded to an E or higher before it can be rented. Following a survey, we can provide a draught EPC to inform you of the most cost-effective improvements, as well as assist you in developing an energy plan to implement any improvements. Once these are in place, we will generate the final EPC for you, which will be valid for ten years.

Many people believe that they can only schedule a survey through their leasing or property agency, but it is considerably easier to book directly with a professional, such as A & C Energy Surveys, and receive both personal attention and cheap costs.

What Is The Non Domestic Energy Performance Certificate Used For?

The certificate will assess your building's energy efficiency. A is the highest efficiency rating, while G is the lowest. What is important is that the study provides cost-effective and feasible measures to improve the building's rating.

Using a specialised agency that can provide professional assistance can make all the difference in this situation. Their assessment will inform you what rating the building may get if the proposed upgrades were implemented.

Your property must have a minimum rating of "E."

The study is especially essential for landlords and building owners because the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) have been in effect since 2018. These make renting or leasing a business property illegal unless it has a non-domestic EPC rating of at least E.

There are various exceptions to these laws, such as houses of worship, temporary structures, agricultural structures, and so on. A & C Energy Surveys has a thorough grasp of the regulations and can advise you on whether your building is subject to it or is exempt.

We are knowledgeable about all of the equipment, materials, and technologies available to assist increase a building's rating. It isn't always necessary to choose the most expensive option.

What is important is the whole cost / benefit profile of the solution you choose. We can present you with costed choices, including changes that have the potential to lower your long-term energy expenditures.

Professional Advice And Certification Provides Peace Of Mind

With fines of up to £5,000 for failing to have an EPC, a professional study and report from us can set your mind at ease by assuring compliance with rules. The certificate is valid for 10 years after it is given, unless you make additional changes and conduct another survey to attain a better non-domestic EPC rating.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires all commercial buildings under construction, for sale, or for rent to have an NDEPC. They assist building owners and occupiers in making their structures more energy efficient, and they enable prospective buyers/tenants to compare buildings based on energy efficiency.

Why Should You Hire Energy Saving Experts?

We are qualified to analyse commercial buildings of all sizes, including those with big centralised heating and cooling units. We give NDEPC for all sorts of new commercial buildings and have supplied hundreds for existing buildings (Please keep in mind that we only supply EPCs for existing buildings with an internal floor space of more than 300m2). If necessary, we can even provide a 48-hour turnaround.

When Do Non Domestic Epc Register Is Needed?

When a commercial facility is sold, rented, or built, Non Domestic EPC register and Recommendation Reports are needed. This is done so that building owners would know how energy efficient their property is today and how they might enhance their rating. An EPC also allows prospective buyers and tenants of commercial properties to quickly and easily compare the energy efficiency of buildings.

A non-domestic EPC certificate resembles the energy ratings found on refrigerators or washing machines and has the same A-G energy rating. The letter 'A' is very energy efficient, while the letter 'G' is very inefficient. Non-domestic EPCs assess the performance of the building and its fixed services such as heating, cooling, and ventilation (not the contents such As Computers Or Other Such Equipment).

Non-Domestic Epc Register Levels

There are three EPC levels for non-domestic Energy Performance Certificates: Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5. The levels indicate various levels of construction and fixed service complexity, ranging from level 3 for simple structures to level 5 for the most complicated. Generally:

• Level 3 EPC = Existing small buildings with heating systems of less than 100 KW and cooling systems of less than 12 KW.
• Level 4 EPC = Any newly constructed or big existing building with a heating system of more than 100 KW and a cooling system of more than 12 KW. If specialised fixed services such as VAV, fan coils, or chilled ceilings are employed, a level 4 is also necessary.
• Level 5 EPC = For the most complicated structures, which may include elements like as ventilation with greater thermal connection to the structure, automated blind and vent controls, and atria. Buildings at Level 5 must be evaluated using authorised Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM) software.

How We Can Assist

We are Level 5 Energy Assessors registered with the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers at myconstructor. Because we are a Level 5 Energy Assessor, we can also provide EPCs for less difficult level 3 and level 4 buildings.

We utilise the certified Dynamic Simulation Modelling programme EDSL TAS to create an accurate 3D thermal model of your building, which is then used to generate your EPC rating and related recommendation report.

Please contact us immediately if you require an EPC for any building, from basic to complicated. If you are still unclear if you need an EPC, please contact us with any queries you may have and we would be pleased to assist you.
