At White Rose EPC, we understand the need for flexibility and we appreciate the importance of working around the needs and schedules of our clients. We ensure we arrange our property inspection at a time that suits you and we understand the need for minimal disturbance and the sensitivities which can be required on-site, particularly when inspecting occupied properties.
A qualified energy assessor will visit the property and will undertake a full measured survey. The assessor will take detailed and accurate measurements, as well as compiling a thorough overview of the core elements affecting the energy performance of the property. These include:
- construction
- insulation
- lighting
- heating/cooling
- carbon technologies
Back at the office, we compile this information and begin to calculate the EPC rating, using the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) which is a government approved specialist software package. Once we have made our calculations, we generate the EPC and officially lodge the certificate, ensuring you are then fully compliant with the legislative requirements.
Finally, we will produce a recommendations report, advising on ways in which the building's efficiency may be improved. The report details suggested recommendations, detailing the short, medium and long term payback should you choose to implement these recommendations as there are currently no legal requirements to implement these recommendations.
