NB Energy Consultancy Ltd provides professional and accurate Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for both commercial and residential properties across the UK. An EPC is a legally required document that provides a rating of a building's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations on how to improve its rating. EPCs are mandatory when a property is built, sold, or rented.
Our accredited assessors conduct thorough on-site evaluations, gathering all necessary data regarding the property's construction, heating systems, insulation, windows, and lighting. We then use approved software to generate the EPC, which rates the property's energy performance and its environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. The certificate also includes a list of cost-effective recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property.
NB Energy Consultancy Ltd ensures a swift and efficient service, delivering your EPC promptly and accurately. Beyond mere compliance, our EPCs provide valuable insights into your property's energy performance, helping you understand areas for potential savings and improvements.
