JPA ARE EPC ASSESSORS
1st March 2009

An Energy Performance Certifi cate (EPC) provides information on the energy performance of a building. The EPC will give the building a grading ranging from A to G (‘A’ being very energy effi cient while ‘G’ is ineffi cient). It must be accompanied by an advisory report giving recommendations for cost-effective actions to improve the rating.

JPA can now offer an EPC Assessment Service; the asset ratings of buildings are
calculated using IES VE software, which is also used for assessing compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations.

 For commercial lettings an EPC is valid for 10 years and is only required for newly leased property.

 Landlords and property managers are responsible for obtaining the EPC.

 There is no need to obtain an Energy Performance Certificate for an existing tenancy and if a valid EPC exists when changing tenants then no new certifi cate is required.
