Why Hotels Need a Commercial EPC
For hospitality businesses, EPC certificates are often required when:
-
a hotel property is sold or purchased
-
the building is leased to a new operator
-
a new hospitality building is constructed
-
significant building alterations or refurbishments are completed
A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a commercial building and provides an official rating from A (very efficient) to G (least efficient). It is a legal requirement. You can be fined many thousands of £££'s for failing to have an upto date certificate.
Because hotels and hospitality properties typically consume large amounts of energy through heating, lighting, hot water and kitchen facilities, EPC assessments are particularly important for understanding energy performance.
The EPC report also provides recommendations for improving efficiency, which can help hospitality businesses reduce operating costs and improve sustainability.
