Energy Performance Certificates for Northern Ireland
A new compulsory Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), initiated by the EU in January 2003, will be introduced in Northern Ireland from 2008. 
The Energy Performance Certificate will detail average costs for heating, hot water and lighting in the home. It will also quantify how energy efficient the home is and how to cut costs with energy efficiency measures.
What buildings must have an EPC?
All residential, public and commercial buildings, including offices, hotels, schools, hospitals and leisure organisations will eventually require energy performance certificates.
How will it work?
When introduced, the law will require that when a building is constructed, sold or rented out, an EPC must be made available by the owner or by the owner to prospective purchasers or tenants.
What will the EPC look like?
The EPC will be based on the existing EU colour scheme, which is used to indicate the energy efficiency of domestic appliances like a fridge, dryer and so on.
How much will it cost?
The cost of having an EPC carried out will depend on the individual building type and size but NI EPC Services will be one of the most cost effective companies in Northern Ireland providing this service.
Who will carry out the assessment?
NI EPC Services provide professionally qualified energy assessors in Northern Ireland to fulfil the requirements of the EU directive and provide a comprehensive service to the public, Solicitors, Estate agents and Property Management Companies.
The reports, prepared by our assessors, will advise consumers on which energy measures could cut carbon emissions and improve their energy rating.
