Energy Performance Certification
Commercial buildings
From 4 January 2009, all commercial buildings in Scotland will require to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when they are built, sold or let.
EPCs will inform potential buyers or tenants of commercial premises about the energy performance of a building.
When a commercial building is in the process of being offered for sale or lease, it is the seller’s responsibility to make an EPC and recommendation report available to potential buyers or tenants.
By complying with the legislation and following the recommendations supplied with the EPC on how to improve energy efficiency, you can reduce your energy bills and cut its carbon emissions, thereby making the property more attractive to potential buyers or tenants in the future.
