What it is

What is an energy performance certificate?

The energy performance certificate assesses a property’s energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and gives it a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It takes into account the building envelope, orientation, building services and the demand for heating, cooling and hot water.

It is mandatory for selling or letting homes and commercial premises, and the label must already appear in listings. It is also required when applying for energy retrofit grants.

When you need it

  • To sell or let a home or commercial premises
  • To advertise the property on property portals or through estate agents
  • To apply for energy retrofit grants
  • On completion of renovation, extension or change-of-use works
  • When the previous certificate has expired

What it includes

An official certificate and useful advice

We don’t just assign a letter: we explain the result and which improvements are worthwhile.

Site visit

An architect visits the property and records data on the building envelope and services.

Official calculation

We model the property with recognised software such as CE3X or HULC.

Improvement proposals

We tell you which measures would improve the rating and in what order to carry them out.

ICAEN registration

We enter the certificate in the official register and give you the label.

How we work

Fast and hassle-free

In most cases you have the certificate within one or two days of the visit.

1. Quote

You give us the address, type of property and floor area.

2. Site visit

We arrange the visit and inspect the property and its services.

3. Calculation

We calculate the rating and prepare the improvement recommendations.

4. Registration

We register it with ICAEN and send you the certificate and the label.

Beyond the label

Want to improve your home’s rating?

If you are planning a renovation or want to apply for grants, we can prepare an energy efficiency study comparing different solutions (insulation, windows, building services) with their estimated savings. And if the building needs a comprehensive intervention, we draw up the project for façade and roof refurbishment.
