FAQ
In the UK, special people called energy assessors check how well your home uses energy. They look at all sorts of things, like the type of house you have, how big it is, and how old it is. They also check how much energy you use to heat and light your home.
Energy assessors use a special system called SAM to check your home. SAM looks at all the factors that affect how much energy your home needs. These include the type of walls, windows, and doors you have, and whether you have any renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines.
Once the energy assessor has checked your home, they will give you an EPC certificate. This certificate tells you how efficient your home is at using energy. It also gives you tips on how to make your home more energy efficient.
Your EPC rating is valid for ten years. This means that you don’t need to get a new one unless you make major changes to your home, like changing the type of heating system you have.
Main Components
Energy Assessment Types:
Energy assessments are key for evaluating a building’s energy performance and spotting areas for improvement. Various assessors handle different building types.
Existing Domestic/Residential Buildings:
Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) evaluate houses, flats, and bungalows by collecting property data on-site. This information is processed through approved software to produce an energy assessment report.
Non-Domestic/Commercial Buildings:
Non-Domestic Energy Assessors (NDEAs) handle energy assessments for commercial properties like offices and shops. They collect on-site data and need advanced qualifications for complex or new-build buildings.
New Domestic Buildings:
On-Construction Domestic Energy Assessors (OCDEAs) assess the energy performance of new-build properties before and after construction, working from building plans and drawings.
Public Buildings:
Display Energy Certificate (DEC) Assessors carry out energy assessments on public buildings frequently visited by the public, such as churches and libraries. Their work involves on-site data collection and analysis. Leveraging sophisticated, approved software, these assessors execute intelligent calculations (all sanctioned by the government) to assess the building’s energy performance. Once the assessment is over, they issue an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
