BUTLER STEVE CHARTERED SURVEYOR

EPC’s are now mandatory in the UK whenever you advertise a lease or sell most commercial properties. Failure to provide an Energy Performance Certificate is an offence and could jeopardize the transaction. Trading Standards Officers are able to levy heavy fines of 12.5% of a property’s rateable value for non compliance.

The EPC also provides an opportunity for business to asses how efficiently they are using energy which is likely to be an increasingly expensive overhead. It is also an opportunity to consider if the energy use can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions which research seems to suggest are currently having an adverse affect on the future of the planet.

As Level 4 qualified Non Domestic Energy Assessor I am able to provide low cost Energy Performance Certificates for almost all types of business premises across the Midlands and South Yorkshire.

The preparation of a commercial energy assessment requires a thorough survey of the building in order to establish its construction, uses of the building, the methods heating cooling and lighting it. It is of considerable assistance to the rapid preparation of an assessment that shows the property in the best light if the owner of occupier is able to provide floor plans and information about the heating, cooling and lighting systems within a building.

If contacting me for a quotation please supply as much information about your building as possible. Important points are total size, a number of rooms and the type of systems in the building and whether you have accurate plans.
