What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
Buildings when constructed, sold or rented out, including homes, public sector buildings and business premises will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
The EPC will give owners better information about the carbon dioxide emissions from their buildings. For example, every new home in Scotland will require a certificate when it is constructed and every existing home will need one when it is sold or rented. They include simple cost-effective home improvement measures that will help save energy, reduce bills and cut carbon dioxide emissions.
Model Certificates
Two EPC models have been approved for use in Scotland, one for dwellings, the second for all other building types.
