New Commercial EPC Index Launched

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 31, 2009 – Building and NES launch commercial EPC index

Initiative aims to tackle problem that 75% of commercial builds are illegally marketed without an EPC

Three-quarters of all commercial properties for sale or rent are failing to comply with energy regulations, according to a new initiative launched by National Energy Services and Building.co.uk.

The monthly EPC Index monitors how many commercial builds being marketed have a valid energy performance certificate (EPC). The first EPC Index stands at 25, meaning that only 25% of commercial properties were legal and compliant in October, while the other 75% did not have an EPC lodged on the government's official registry.

Not having an EPC and associated Recommendations Report could lead to fines of up to £5000.
