EPC Leeds – energy efficiency in West Yorkshire
Leeds is one of the UK's economic powerhouses so it should come as no surprise to learn there is a huge demand for commercial EPC ratings here. Since a change in the law on October 1 2009, commercial property owners in Churwell, Morley, Horsforth, Headingley, Shipley and indeed all across the UK have been required to present the documents to all prospective buyers. Similarly, landlords in Crossgates, Castelford, Normanton, Wakefield, Otley and elsewhere have been legally obliged to get a commercial EPC Leeds assessment before renting out to tenants.
Arranging a commercial EPC document is a surprisingly simple process. The first step is to get in touch with a commercial EPC specialist such as Enlighten Enviro and ask for a quote. When you've agreed on a price, a trained energy assessor visits the property in question and compiles what is commonly known as a commercial EPC report.
Among other things, this document contains a bespoke energy efficiency rating that indicates the carbon footprint of the building. For the uninitiated, G denotes that the property has very high carbon emissions and there is a sliding scale up to A, which is reserved for the most energy-efficient places.
The government introduced commercial EPCs as part of efforts to improve the UK's environmental record - it is estimated that half of all domestic carbon emissions can be attributed to buildings. To this end, the commercial EPC document will also contain a recommendations report that suggests inexpensive ways of combating climate change and slashing fuel bills. For example, it may suggest simple measures such as insulating walls, introducing energy-efficient light bulbs and upgrading the ventilation system. An additional grade will be included in the recommendations report, indicating what rating could be achieved if all proposed changes are carried out.
