What Is a Commercial EPC?
A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate assesses the energy performance of a non-domestic building and provides an energy rating from A to G, with A representing the highest level of energy performance.
The assessment considers the characteristics of the actual building and its installed services. Depending upon the property, these can include:
Building construction and fabric
Heating systems
Air conditioning and cooling
Mechanical ventilation
Lighting
Glazing
Insulation
Building controls
Renewable technologies where applicable
Once completed, the EPC is lodged on the official government register and is normally valid for ten years unless a newer certificate is subsequently produced.
When Is a Commercial EPC Required in Sheffield?
A Commercial EPC is generally required when a non-domestic building is:
Sold
Rented to a new tenant
Constructed
Marketed for sale or rent
Altered in certain circumstances involving separate occupation and fixed building services
An existing valid EPC may already cover the property, so it can be sensible to check the official register before arranging another assessment.
NRG Focus can help landlords, property owners and managing agents establish what is required for a particular commercial building.
Level 5 Commercial EPC Assessors
One of the important differences between commercial buildings is their level of complexity.
Not every non-domestic property can be appropriately assessed at the same assessor level. More complex buildings can contain sophisticated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, extensive controls, multiple zones and other building services that require a higher level of assessment capability.
NRG Focus has Level 5 non-domestic energy assessment capability, allowing our assessors to work with more complex commercial properties as well as conventional buildings.
This can include:
Large office buildings
Industrial premises
Warehouses and distribution buildings
Healthcare facilities
Multi-let commercial buildings
Buildings with complex HVAC systems
Properties with substantial mechanical services
Mixed-use commercial buildings
Larger and technically complex sites
Commercial EPCs for Sheffield Offices
Sheffield contains office accommodation ranging from smaller professional premises and converted buildings to modern city-centre offices and larger corporate properties.
A commercial energy assessment of an office building can involve examination of:
Heating and cooling
Air conditioning
Mechanical ventilation
Lighting
Building controls
Glazing and insulation
Building fabric
Different occupancy and activity zones
The appropriate assessment depends upon the construction of the building and the services actually installed.
Commercial EPCs for Sheffield Industrial Buildings and Warehouses
Sheffield’s industrial heritage continues to be reflected in its commercial property stock. The city and surrounding areas contain substantial numbers of industrial units, workshops, warehouses, manufacturing premises and associated office accommodation.
NRG Focus can assess both straightforward industrial units and significantly more complex buildings.
A larger industrial property may contain several different areas and systems, including:
Warehouse or production space
Office accommodation
Heating systems
Mechanical ventilation
Air conditioning
Specialist or high-level lighting
Different occupancy zones
Extensions constructed at different times
These characteristics are one reason why commercial EPC assessment should reflect the actual building rather than relying on assumptions about the property type.
Commercial EPCs for Sheffield Shops and Retail Premises
From city-centre shops and traditional neighbourhood retail premises to larger retail units and commercial developments, Sheffield contains a broad range of retail property.
Retail premises can differ considerably in their energy characteristics. Heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and the configuration of the occupied space can all affect the assessment.
Where a building contains several units or separately occupied areas, the correct EPC approach can also depend upon how the property is divided, serviced and marketed.
NRG Focus can review the building and advise on the appropriate assessment approach before work begins.
Commercial EPCs for Sheffield Landlords and Managing Agents
Commercial landlords and managing agents often need EPC support at particular points in the property cycle, including when premises are being marketed, leases are changing or a wider portfolio is being reviewed.
NRG Focus can assist with:
Individual Commercial EPC assessments
Multiple properties
Commercial property portfolios
Certificates approaching expiry
Properties being prepared for sale or letting
Existing EPC ratings requiring review
Energy performance and compliance planning
Where several buildings require assessment, appointments can be coordinated around property access and client requirements wherever practical.
Commercial EPCs and MEES Compliance
For commercial landlords, an EPC can also be important in relation to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
Where a commercial property has a low EPC rating, simply knowing the letter shown on the certificate may not be enough. Understanding the building, its services and the factors affecting its energy performance can help property owners make better-informed decisions about potential improvements and future compliance.
NRG Focus also provides specialist support relating to commercial MEES compliance.
Complex HVAC and Building Services
Commercial energy assessment can become significantly more involved where a building contains extensive heating, ventilation or air-conditioning systems.
Our Level 5 capability is particularly valuable for buildings containing more complex services and controls.
Where appropriate, NRG Focus can also assist clients requiring a TM44 air conditioning inspection for qualifying air-conditioning systems.
