• Domestic EPC's are a legal requirement when selling or renting out your residential property. They are valid for 10 years, and can only be issued by an official accredited Energy Assessor.
• EPCs are a record of the energy saving / loss aspects of your property, and potential improvements and savings you can make.
• Energy performance is measured in terms of energy use per sq metre of floor area.
• Energy efficiency is based on fuel costs and environmental impact based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
