The specific law was established in Wales as well as England that the properties of any kind whether to be purchased or sold or rented out will have to require the Energy performance certificate in any case. There were agreements that had been committed between the two parties in which EPC was an important issue that was discussed. Once you get the EPC is valid for 10 years and after wards it is reusable also on certain conditions. This is the basic need of the properties that are self contained which further can be of any kind.

  • Reason of EPC

The reason of the need of Energy performance certificate was to give knowledge of the mob of Europe and tenants was to tell them the value of the green property in comparison of the simple property. Other than this, a home with domestic EPC has more value.

  • Two different rates

One is the measurement that depicts how much efficiency is in the building that is named energy efficiency rating and the other tells about the environmental impact which tells the details about the CO2 impact. Domestic Energy assessor plays a great role in this matter and the rating starts going high gradually.

  • Different classes of EPC

There are two different classes of residential EPCs and commercial EPC that vary from A and end till G. G rating is the worst while A rating is the best. There is always a graph on the EPC for both ratings which lists the present and potential rating at the same time.

  • The purpose of EPC

The main purpose of EPC is to show the consumption of energy that is used by a single home at a time. It is obvious that two different homes will never use the energy at the same time in a same manner so it is the certificate that shows the consumption of the house and tells how it can be reduced and managed in limits.

  • Penalty for not having EPC

Since the beginning of EPC, it is clear that a home owner or landowner must have this certificate because, there are different sorts of penalties for not having it. So, you need to be extra careful when you are going to buy a land in form of building or a simple home.

  • Things for good rating

There are different things that can help us to have a good rate in the certificate. One of them that plays the most vital role is ECO funding. Main purpose of this funding is to help the poor people and make ways for less billing and have good rating in EPC. Another step for this purpose can be to use different household items on solar system like a free boiler is used.

These are different things that are great requirements of energy performance certificate and through these requirements not only the seller of the home will be in good position but purchaser as well.
