What Is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document that shows how energy efficient a property is. It provides an energy rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations on how to reduce energy use and lower bills. Every EPC in Scotland is prepared by an accredited assessor and lodged to the national database.

Why EPCs Are Important

EPCs are a legal requirement in Scotland when selling, renting, or building a property. They give buyers and tenants important information about a building’s energy efficiency and environmental impact. An EPC helps property owners identify improvements that can make their homes warmer, cheaper to run, and better for the environment.

Who Needs an EPC?

You need an EPC if you are:

✔ Selling a home
✔ Renting out a property
✔ Building a new property
✔ Applying for certain energy-related grants or mortgages

If your property already has an EPC, it remains valid for 10 years. After that, a new assessment must be carried out by an accredited assessor.

How EPC Ratings Work

The EPC rating is calculated based on factors such as insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting, and construction type. The certificate also includes estimated energy costs and practical suggestions for improvements. A property rated A is highly energy efficient, while one rated G uses more energy and produces higher carbon emissions.

What Information Is on an EPC?

An EPC includes:

✔ The property’s energy efficiency rating (A–G)
✔ Current and potential energy costs
✔ Estimated carbon dioxide emissions
✔ Recommendations for improving efficiency
✔ Details of the accredited assessor who carried out the survey

How to Get an EPC

To obtain an EPC, you must have a qualified, accredited assessor visit your property and carry out a short, non-intrusive survey. Once complete, your certificate is lodged to the official register and emailed to you in digital format. The process usually takes less than an hour and is valid for 10 years.
