EPC's for New Homes


Energy Performance Certificates for the construction of a home

From 6 April 2008, all homes built and physically complete on or after this date, will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provided on construction.
It is the responsibility of the builder to provide an EPC when a home is constructed and physically completed from 6 April 2008. This will also apply if a building is converted into fewer or more units and changes are made to the heating, hot water provision or air conditioning/ventilation services.



When the home is physically complete, the builder must obtain an EPC for the home, provide the EPC to the new owner of the home and notify the local authority building control officers or approved inspectors that this has been done. This must be done no later than the time specified by the building regulations. Building regulations include standards for the energy performance of new homes which builders must adhere to in order to comply with building regulations.
Once building control are satisfied the EPC has been properly produced and provided to the relevant party, they are able to issue a final completion certificate.

A final completion certificate for a home cannot be issued by building control unless they are satisfied an EPC has been provided.

If you require a Predicted Energy Assessment and are not sure what to do, we can provide this for you.
