EPC Durham

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) of 2002 requires that all existing Domestic & Commercial properties in Durham that are to be sold, rented or leased require an EPC or Energy Performance Certificate for the property. Additionally, for new housing a SAP calculation or Standard Assessment Procedure is required and for commercial properties in Durham a BRUKL Report or Building Regulations UK, Part L (or SBEM Calculation) is required.

Based in the North East, Energess Property SURVEYS & Maintenance carry out all types of Domestic EPC and Commercial EPC surveys, SAP Calculations and BRUKL Reports and Display Energy Certificates (DEC). We also supply a range of Professional Property Surveys, Maintenance & Refurbishment Services for residential, domestic, non-domestic or commercial properties in Durham.

With the introduction of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) legislation in April 2018, if you are a landlord or letting agent in Durham and your property has an EPC rating of F or G, it cannot be rented until work has been completed to improve the energy rating to a minimum of an E. We can help you to improve the energy efficiency of your property in Durham and provide you with advice on the least disruptive and most cost effective way to improve the energy rating of your building.

You will also be asked to produce a Domestic EPC or Commercial EPC when applying for the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme or the Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme for a property in Durham. These are government schemes that pay a grant to householders or property owners in Durham and surrounding areas who are using renewable energy. Examples of renewable energy include biomass boilers, solar panels, ground source and air source heat pumps.
