Supporting Energy Efficiency, Compliance and Investment Planning
EPC surveys assess the energy efficiency of residential properties and result in the production of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). For councils, housing associations and other social landlords, EPC data plays a critical role in regulatory compliance, asset management, retrofit planning and net zero strategies.
We provide accurate, reliable EPC surveys carried out by qualified assessors, delivering data you can trust to inform both statutory reporting and long-term investment decisions.
What Is an EPC Survey?
An EPC survey involves a detailed inspection of a property to collect information on its construction, heating systems, insulation and energy-related features. This data is used to generate an EPC rating, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with recommendations to improve energy performance.
EPCs are a legal requirement for many housing transactions and are increasingly used by social landlords to demonstrate compliance with minimum energy efficiency standards and government policy objectives.
Why EPC Surveys Matter for Social Housing Providers
For registered providers and local authorities, EPC surveys support:
- Compliance with current and emerging energy efficiency regulations
- Monitoring and reporting of stock energy performance
- Development of retrofit and decarbonisation programmes
- Access to funding streams and grant programmes
- Reduction of fuel poverty and carbon emissions
Accurate EPC data is essential to avoid misdirected investment and to ensure retrofit decisions are evidence-based.
Our EPC Survey Approach
Our EPC surveys are undertaken by accredited domestic energy assessors with experience of social housing stock, including traditional and non-traditional construction types. Surveys are carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to residents, and in line with current RdSAP methodology.
We place strong emphasis on data quality, consistency and auditability, ensuring EPC outputs align with wider asset management and compliance datasets.
EPC Surveys and Retrofit Planning
EPC data is often the starting point for retrofit assessment and net zero planning, but poor-quality EPCs can undermine delivery. We help organisations understand the limitations of EPCs, validate existing certificates, and ensure EPC data is used appropriately alongside stock condition and retrofit assessments.
This integrated approach supports realistic, cost-effective energy improvement programmes.
