EPC Energy Reports
An EPC certificate rates a building’s energy efficiency from A to G and suggests improvements to reduce energy use, costs and carbon emissions. It is legally required when selling or renting.

What is an EPC report?
An EPC report, short for Energy Performance Certificate, is a document that shows how energy efficient a building is. It’s required by law when a property is built, sold, or rented in the UK.
The report includes:
- An energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient)
- Estimated energy costs for heating, lighting, and hot water
- Carbon dioxide emissions
- Recommendations for improving the property’s efficiency (like insulation or new windows)
- The potential rating if the suggested improvements are made
EPCs are valid for 10 years, and they help buyers or renters understand the likely energy costs of a property.
“Getting our EPC for the restaurant and flats was quick and easy thanks to CSMG. They were professional, efficient, and helped us boost our energy rating. Highly recommended.”

Get in touchWhat to expect during your EPC Assessment
- 01
Initial Visit & Access
A qualified non-domestic energy assessor visits your premises. You’ll need to provide access to all areas of the building, including plant rooms, basements, loft spaces, and heating/cooling systems.
- 02
Data Collection
The assessor collects detailed information: building dimensions and layout, construction materials, insulation levels, HVAC systems, lighting types and controls, hot water systems, and any renewable technologies. They may take photos and measurements and ask for building plans or maintenance records.
- 03
Software Modelling
Our assessor inputs all the data into approved EPC modelling software (SBEM for commercial buildings). This calculates the building’s energy performance and assigns a rating from A (best) to G (worst).
- 04
EPC Certificate Issued
You receive an official EPC certificate with the energy rating, a list of recommended improvements, and estimated cost savings and carbon reduction if improvements are made.
- 05
Legal Compliance
The EPC must be lodged on the national register. It’s valid for 10 years, but must be updated if major changes are made to the building.
