Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is the energy efficiency rating that is the measure of the overall energy using efficiency of the properties. An EPC is placed on a colour-coded scale from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient), and state what the energy efficiency rating could be improved, and highlights cost effective ways to achieve a better rating. An EPC shows the amount of energy used per m²; and the level of carbon dioxide emissions (given in tonnes per year), and is valid for 10 years from when issued.
