Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are essential documents that assess the energy efficiency of commercial properties, whether they are newly constructed or existing buildings. Introduced as a legal requirement under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, EPCs provide a clear rating of a building’s energy performance, helping property owners, tenants, and buyers understand its energy consumption and potential running costs. They play a vital role in improving the sustainability of commercial properties, ensuring compliance with energy efficiency standards, and reducing environmental impact.
At JosTec, our team of experienced energy assessors is fully qualified to deliver accurate and reliable Commercial EPCs. We utilise industry-leading software to conduct thorough assessments, ensuring that every EPC we produce meets current regulatory standards.

What Is A Commercial EPCs Calculation?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides a detailed assessment of a commercial building’s energy efficiency and carbon emissions. It offers a clear rating of the building’s energy performance and highlights potential improvements to reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
The assessment evaluates key factors such as the building’s fabric, including the U-values of thermal elements like walls, roofs, and windows, as well as the air tightness once the building is constructed. Using the National Calculation Method (NCM), the EPC determines the annual energy use of the property and identifies practical ways to enhance energy efficiency, making it an essential tool for reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.
At JosTec, we provide expert EPC services tailored to your commercial property’s needs. Our experienced energy assessors ensure accurate, high-quality assessments in line with current regulatory standards, helping you achieve compliance while optimizing energy performance.
Do I Need A Commercial EPCs?
All new-build commercial properties must undergo an SBEM calculation to produce a BRUKL report and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). An EPC is essential for selling or letting the property, as it provides a clear evaluation of its energy efficiency.
For existing commercial properties, an EPC is required whenever the property is being sold or leased. It enables potential buyers or tenants to assess the building’s energy performance, understand current energy consumption levels, and evaluate the potential costs of necessary upgrades. Additionally, compliance with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) is crucial. MEES regulations stipulate that commercial properties with an EPC rating below E cannot be legally rented out, making an accurate and up-to-date EPC essential for property owners.
At JosTec, we specialise in delivering thorough and reliable EPC assessments, ensuring your property complies with all energy efficiency regulations while providing valuable insights for potential improvements.
What are the EPC levels?
Level 3 (L3):
L3 buildings typically include simple commercial properties such as small retail units, offices, and warehouses. These buildings have straightforward heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. EPC assessments for L3 properties focus on fundamental building elements like insulation, glazing, and heating systems.
Level 4 (L4):
L4 properties are medium-complexity buildings with more advanced mechanical and electrical systems, including larger offices, retail spaces, and industrial units. These buildings often have dynamic HVAC systems, and the EPC assessment requires detailed modelling of energy use across various zones.
Level 5 (L5):
L5 buildings are the most complex and include large-scale, architecturally advanced structures such as high-rise office buildings, hospitals, or airports. These properties feature intricate building management systems (BMS) and advanced energy systems, requiring sophisticated software and expertise to conduct the EPC assessment accurately.
Which EPC Level (L3, L4, or L5) is right for your commercial property?
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for commercial properties are categorised by complexity into Levels 3, 4, and 5, depending on the size, structure, and building systems involved. Each level requires a tailored approach to ensure compliance with energy efficiency regulations and an accurate assessment of the building’s performance.
At JosTec, we offer expert EPC services across all levels, from L3 to L5, ensuring that each assessment is tailored to the specific needs of your building. Our accredited energy assessors use cutting-edge tools to deliver precise results, helping you achieve compliance while identifying opportunities for improved energy performance. Whether you need a simple or complex EPC assessment, we are equipped to provide high-quality, reliable service for any commercial property.
