| : The Energy performance certificate for Commercial Properties by Carbon EPC will be similar to those produced for domestic dwellings to assess the energy efficiency of a building. The commercial EPC will provide advice on how to make cost effective improvements to the building to make it more energy efficient. Commercial Energy Performance Certificates will be required upon construction, sale or lease for all non-dwellings, covering everything from small retail units to offices, industrial units and large scale commercial premises such as airports and public buildings. There are exemptions to the requirement for a commercial EPC which include: • Places of worship;• Temporary buildings (less than two years use)• Low energy demand buildings;• Stand alone buildings less than 50 sq. meters.Responsibility for enforcement in newly built properties will fall to Building Control, whilst Trading Standards departments will enforce certification of existing buildings. |
