There is no statutory requirement to carry out any of the recommended energy efficiency measures stated. Which buildings require EPCs?

Are energy savings a key benefit of an EPC?

Energy savings are a key benefit that should be achieved and it may be that operational and maintenance services are also provided by the ESCO. As energy savings are a central focus of an EPC, it is important that these savings are monitored through an appropriate measurement and verification plan (which should have been agreed as part of the IGP).

What is an EPC assessment?
