Purpose

At LK Energy Solutions Limited (LKESL) our team of accredited assessors are qualified to cover all levels of survey, ranging through small storage facilities to large multi-use buildings.

LKESLs’ energy assessors work with our clients to ascertain:

These factors will enable our Assessors to understand the energy demands of each individual building space (zone) in accordance with its designated use. The information is then used to produce the EPC by the application of nationally approved standards.  In parallel, recommendations will be produced by the Assessors to compile the Recommendations Report which accompanies the EPC.

Method

Anyone offering accommodation for sale or let, including sub-letting, now requires an EPC to demonstrate the energy performance of the accommodation. The EPC has to be provided, to the prospective buyer or tenant at the earliest opportunity, before entering into a contract to sell or let.

An EPC sets out the energy performance of a building, in order that the energy efficiency is taken into account as part of the decision to purchase or lease that building. EPCs are accompanied by a Recommendations Report which includes advice and suggestions upon specific improvements, to minimise energy usage and reduce a buildings running cost.

Result

The responsibility for the provision of an EPC lies with the building contractor, upon physical completion of the building. At this point the constructor issues the EPC and Recommendations Report to the owner of the building and notifies the local authority Building Control department that this has been done.
