Up Energy Commercial EPC Plymouth

PLYMOUTH, U.K. - March 3, 2015 - PRLog -- One of these is getting an EPC http://www.upenergy.co.uk/epc.php. If you are selling or letting a non-domestic property in or around Plymouth, then it is likely that you will need a commercial EPC. An EPC, which stands for Energy Performance Certificate, is a legal requirement in the UK that is used to determine how energy-efficient a building is and to create recommendations on how to reduce energy usage for anyone intending to buy or rent it.

If you are applying for a Feed-in Tariff as part of a renewable energy installation such as solar PV (photovoltaics), then you will need to source the EPC documentation that yourself or your installer will require to complete this process.

In some instances, it won’t be possible to produce an EPC for your building. If this is the case, your building could be exempt. The best way to find out if your property requires an EPC is to find a company with qualified assessors that can visit your site to assess the need for the correct documentation. In this case, you will be advised on whether you need an EPC or an EPC exemption letter.

Currently, to receive the higher rate of Feed-in Tariff, the building should achieve an EPC rating of D. An EPC company will work closely with building owners and renewable energy installers to find out how this can be reached. Approach your most trusted local EPC supplier to find out how to go about this. For example, expert commercial EPC advice can be found in the Plymouth area with Up Energy, who work closely with Devon’s best renewable energy installers to provide helpful advice in order to ensure your building achieves the best energy rating. Companies like Up Energy regularly carry out site visits to produce EPC exemption letters, too.

As part of the Energy Act 2011, the government proposes to introduce a minimum energy standard that would make it unlawful for landlords to lease properties unless they meet or better the minimum EPC rating, currently expected to be E.
