Energy Performance Certificate Assessments
An Energy Performance Certificate Is More Than A Certificate
Most people view an Energy Performance Certificate as a legal requirement.
We see it differently. An Energy Performance Certificate can reveal valuable information about how a property performs, where energy may be wasted, and which improvements could potentially improve efficiency.
Understanding that information is often more valuable than the certificate itself.
Property intelligence journey
From certificate to clear next step
An Energy Performance Certificate is the starting point. We help you turn the rating into a clearer understanding of performance, opportunity and action.
Step 2
See the gap to C
Check the current score and how many points are needed to reach EPC C.
Step 3
Review improvements
See practical improvements that may help close the gap.
Step 4
Estimate payback
Compare likely cost, annual saving and time to recover the investment.
Step 5
Decide next step
Request a review, roadmap, assessment or exemption evidence check if needed.
What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A, the most efficient, to G, the least efficient.
It includes recommendations designed to improve energy performance.
The certificate remains valid for ten years.
The rating gives property owners a starting point for better decisions.
What our Energy Performance Certificate assessments include
Every assessment is carried out professionally and objectively. We examine the details that influence the certificate.
Property construction
Heating systems
Hot water systems
Insulation levels
Ventilation
Windows and doors
Lighting efficiency
Understanding the story behind the rating
Two properties with identical Energy Performance Certificate ratings may have completely different improvement opportunities.
That's why we encourage clients to look beyond the letter rating.
An Energy Performance Certificate should be viewed as a starting point for understanding a property's energy performance rather than an end point.

Energy Performance Certificate Opportunity Score
Where useful, we can also discuss improvement potential using our own advisory scoring framework.
Energy Performance Certificate Opportunity Score™ is our advisory scoring concept for measuring how much improvement potential a property may have.
Output: Energy Performance Certificate Opportunity Score™. This is our own advisory framework, not an official Energy Performance Certificate rating.

Energy Value Score
For clients making cost, sale, letting or investment decisions, Energy Value Score adds a value-focused lens to the Energy Performance Certificate conversation.
Energy Value Score™ helps determine whether an improvement is likely to be worthwhile by weighing financial value, comfort value, property value impact, tenant appeal and environmental benefit.
Output: Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum. This is a proprietary advisory methodology developed by Make My Home Energy Efficient. It is not an official Energy Performance Certificate rating.
