Energy assessments are crucial for evaluating a building’s energy efficiency and identifying areas for improvement. Various types of assessors specialise in different building structures. Explore the options below.
For Existing Domestic/Residential Buildings, Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) evaluate houses, flats, and bungalows, collecting on-site data to generate energy assessment reports using approved software.
Non-Domestic/Commercial Buildings are assessed by Non-Domestic Energy Assessors (NDEAs), including offices, shops, and similar structures. Their work entails on-site data collection. Higher-level NDEA qualifications are necessary for new-build and complex commercial buildings.
New Domestic Buildings are assessed by On-Construction Domestic Energy Assessors (OCDEAs) before and after construction, employing desk-based methods with building plans.
Public Buildings undergo energy assessments by Display Energy Certificate (DEC) Assessors, encompassing frequently visited places like churches and libraries. Their tasks involve on-site data collection and analysis, culminating in issuing an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) using government-approved software.
The EPC calculation is based on the SAP, an approved methodology by the UK government. It considers various factors that impact a property’s energy performance, such as:
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal document that assesses a building’s energy efficiency, mandatory for all properties being sold or rented. The rating ranges from A to G, with A indicating high efficiency and G indicating low efficiency. The EPC evaluates energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting, considering factors such as building type, size, insulation, and heating system. It also provides recommendations for enhancing energy efficiency.
The EPC promotes energy efficiency awareness, assists buyers and tenants in making informed decisions, and helps reduce energy costs. Factors in the EPC calculation include building type, size, insulation levels, and heating system efficiency. Obtaining an EPC from a qualified energy assessor varies in cost based on building size and type.
The assessor inputs the data into SAP software, which generates:
The EPC document is then produced, featuring the rating, EEI, and improvement recommendations.
In the UK, EPCs are valid for 10 years.
After the EPC survey, your energy performance is evaluated, and an EPC Certificate is generated. Within 24-48 hours after the assessor’s visit, the certificate is uploaded to the government register and emailed to you. The certificate includes recommendations for enhancing your building’s EPC rating.
Highly recommended! Great job done in excellent time. Nice team of guys, polite and friendly and left the property immaculate. Did exactly what they said they would without any catches, really is 100% without any cost to the customer, just a few cups of tea is all it cost me and my house is now fully insulated. Very happy.
So glad I found this company online. My house is so much warmer now and saves me loads on my bills! Which we definitely need at the minute with the cost of living crisis and everything else going up in price. Thanks so much NexGen.
