Non-Domestic EPC in the West Midlands: What You Need to Know

If you own or manage a commercial property in the West Midlands, understanding your responsibilities regarding Non-Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) is essential. At Coventry Property Certification, we provide reliable, fast, and fully accredited EPC services tailored to your commercial property needs.

What is a Non-Domestic EPC?

A Non Domestic EPC (also known as a Commercial EPC) is a legal requirement for most commercial buildings when they are built, sold, or rented. This certificate provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with recommendations for improving the building’s energy performance.

Why Is It Important?

Having a valid EPC isn't just about compliance — it's about energy efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental concerns, improving your commercial building's energy performance can:

• Lower operational costs

• Improve tenant satisfaction

• Increase marketability

• Help meet government regulations

Failure to obtain a valid EPC can result in fines of up to £5,000.

Do You Need a Non-Domestic EPC?

You’ll need a Non-Domestic EPC in the West Midlands if:

• You are renting out or selling your commercial property

• You have made significant changes to the building (e.g., HVAC upgrades, extensions)

• Your previous EPC has expired (EPCs are valid for 10 years)

Exemptions exist for certain buildings, such as places of worship or temporary structures, but most commercial properties do require one.
