Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
New Dwellings
We can provide EPC's for new dwellings in accordance with Part L of the building regulations which require all new domestic dwellings to provide the building control officer with a copy of an energy performance certificate EPC prepared by an “on construction domestic energy assessor” (OCDEA) prior to building control completion and final sign off.
The EPC is generated by using the SAP Calculation, if you have used BEAT Solutions to prepare your SAP calculation, this will enable a quick production of your EPC as we already have most of the information ready and to hand.
Don't forget! Use our New Build Pack service to save money and hassle by combining your SAP, EPC, Air Permeability Testing, Extract Ventilation Testing, Water Efficiency Calculation and Acoustic Testing (if applicable) all together.
New Commercial Buildings
We can provide EPC's for new commercial buildings in accordance with Part L2a of the building regulations which require all new commercial buildings to provide the building control officer with a copy of an energy performance certificate EPC prepared by an “non-domestic energy assessor” (NDEA) prior to building control completion and final sign off.
The EPC is generated by using the SBEM Calculation, if you have used BEAT Solutions to prepare your SBEM calculation, this will enable a quick production of your EPC as we already have most of the information ready and to hand.
