Energy Performance Certificates

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a visual colour graphic, similar to those you may have seen attached to 'fridges and washing machines etc., but which also have a recommendation report giving various energy saving measures that a new occupier may wish to consider installing.

HIBEC Ltd are authorised to provide Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to newly constructed dwellings and all non-domestic property.

As SAP/SBEM assessors, we can issue the predicted energy assessment (PEA) as part of the 'as designed' SAP calculation. On completion of the project, the Building Control Officer will require a full 'as constructed' EPC and recommendation report.

Newly Constructed Dwellings

HIBEC Ltd can produce EPCs for newly constructed dwellings cost-effectively.

Commercial Buildings

HIBEC Ltd can undertake EPCs on newly constructed commercial property or existing buildings which are to be rented or sold.

Older property will almost certainly require a site survey, as the actual services and internal layout are key elements in the calculation, so accurate up-to-date data is required.

Display Energy Certificates

All public buildings over 1000m² will be required by October 2008 to display an Energy Certificate in a prominent place.

HIBEC Ltd will produce these certificates using the approved software.

HIBEC Ltd are accredited Energy Advisors.
