Energy Performance Certificates: guide

Energy performance certificates (EPCs) explain how energy efficient a building is and how it could be improved.


Mixed use buildings

A mixed-use building is one that contains both domestic and non-domestic parts. 

An EPC is required for each dwelling and a further EPC for the non-domestic part or parts of the building.  

Where individual parts of a non-domestic building are designed or altered to be used separately, such as retail units within a shopping centre, separate EPCs may be produced for each building unit, rather than one certificate for the whole building. 

A Non-Domestic Energy Assessor will be able to provide advice on the most suitable option for the building in such cases.
