WHAT IS A NEW BUILD EPC?

Energy Performance Certification for Newly Completed Buildings

A New Build EPC confirms the energy performance rating of a newly constructed residential or commercial building.

Unlike EPCs for existing properties, New Build EPCs are generated from the final SAP or SBEM assessment information. This means the certificate is based on the completed building specification, including fabric performance, heating, hot water, ventilation, lighting and renewable technologies where applicable.

A New Build EPC is usually required before completion and is often needed by Building Control, developers, property owners, buyers or tenants.

WHEN IS AN EPC REQUIRED?

Required Before Completion, Sale or Occupation

Most new homes and commercial units require an Energy Performance Certificate before the project can be signed off or handed over.

For residential buildings, the EPC is normally produced from the As-Built SAP assessment. For commercial and non-domestic buildings, it is usually linked to the final SBEM assessment and BRUKL documentation.
