Simple EPC - Energy Performance Certificates in Glasgow

Online, February 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - We provide a professional, easy to use and efficient service and our aim is to make it simple to provide Energy Performance Certificates for residents in Glasgow and across Scotland. Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are being introduced to help improve the energy efficiency of buildings. If you are buying or selling a home you now need a certificate by law. Landlords also require an EPC certificate for each new tenant.

The purpose of an Energy Performance Certificate is to increase awareness and reduce energy consumption in buildings. An EPC will gives a detailed rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building, and recommend further measures to improve the overall energy efficiency.

The way a building is constructed, insulated, heated, ventilated and the type of fuel used, all contribute to its carbon emissions. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) aims to help improve the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce our carbon footprint.

EPCs contain the following:

* information on the type of property
* information on your home's energy use and carbon dioxide emissions
* the energy assessors details
* a recommendation report with suggestions to reduce energy use and carbon dioxide emissions

The age, location, size and condition of the building will be a key factor to the overall ratings. EPCs carry ratings that compare the current energy efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions with potential figures that your home could achieve. Potential figures are calculated by estimating what the energy efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions would be if energy saving measures were put in place

The rating measures the energy and carbon emission efficiency of your home using a grade from 'A' to 'G'. An 'A' rating is the most efficient, while 'G' is the least efficient. The average efficiency grade to date is 'D'. EPCs also provide a recommendation report showing what you can do to help reduce the amount of energy you use, as well as possible cost savings.
