Domestic & Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) Welwyn Garden City

We provide EPCs in Welwyn Garden City and across Hertfordshire for both Domestic and Commercial properties. A valid EPC is required to be in place before the sale or rental of your property. The EPC survey itself is entirely non intrusive and won't damage the building in any way. Once the survey is complete the EPC report will be produced, which gives the building an Energy Performance Rating rating on a scale from A to G.

For most rental properties an EPC rating of E or better is required, in compliance with the Minimum Energy Efficiency (MEES) legislations of 2018. For properties for sale, MEES legislation does not yet apply, however an ever increasing number of financial institutions require properties to demonstrate they would be MEES compliant before agreeing mortgage funding.

Across Welwyn Garden City, the most common domestic EPC band is C, with 69% of homes rated C or above and an average energy-efficiency score of 71 out of 100. Commercial properties in the wider Welwyn Hatfield area have an average rating of C 66 (UK average D 77).

There is real room to improve: the average Welwyn Garden City home could raise its score by about 11 points, and 56% could improve by 10 points or more. The average home here emits roughly 2.6 tonnes of CO₂ a year.

Around 42% of homes in Welwyn Garden City are owner-occupied and 14% are privately rented. About 55% are houses and 39% flats, and 84% are heated by mains gas. On the fabric, 83% have insulated cavity walls and 98% are fully double-glazed or better.

Letting a property in Welwyn Garden City? About 33% of privately rented homes here are rated below an EPC C, the level the government has proposed as a future minimum for rented homes, and 0.1% are rated F or G, below the EPC E minimum needed to let a home today. We can carry out the EPC and advise on the most cost-effective way to improve the rating.

New-build makes up about 13% of certificates in Welwyn Garden City, averaging a band B. New builds need a SAP calculation and an as-built EPC, both of which we provide.

These figures are from analysis of the 13,340 currently valid domestic EPCs for Welwyn Garden City in the publicly available government data set, covering certificates lodged in the ten years to 2026-08-16 (one per property, its latest). Values are medians/averages from the source data.

Domestic EPCs

Carried out by one of our fully accredited Domestic Energy Assessors (DEA), the EPC survey will look at the way the property is constructed, heated (including water heating), insulated, ventilated and lit. The survey does not look at the way the property is used by the residents, so excludes appliances and does not take into account things such heating patterns, instead using a standard set of assumptions about how the house is lived in. This allows for a fair comparison between different properties.

The survey is entirely non invasive. The assessor will not drill any holes or unscrew any access panels. For any insulation added to the property since its original date of construction to be included, the assessor will need to be able to visually evidence it on the day (over 75% of its area for loft insulation, and in multiple locations for wall insulation), or be provided with documentary evidence, such as an installer's receipt.

Where neither documentary evidence or visual inspection can be used to evidence insulation, the assessor will class this element as ‘as built’. The EPC calculation will then make an assumption about what is there, based on the age of the building and the building regulations that were in place at the time of construction. The assessor does not make, or have any control over, these assumptions.

It usually takes around 30 mins to conduct an EPC survey for an average 3 bedroom house. There is then a 2 working day processing period after which you will receive an invoice, followed by the EPC documents immediately on payment.

We are happy to provide more in depth advice on Domestic EPCs, including on Domestic EPC exemptions. so please Contact Us for more information.

Commercial EPCs

Carried out by one of our fully accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessors (NDEA), the Commercial EPC survey will look at the way the property is constructed, conditioned (including for water heating), insulated, ventilated and lit. It also takes into account the different activities that take place within each zone of the property.

The Commercial EPC survey is entirely non invasive. The assessor will not drill any holes or unscrew any access panels. Any elements of the building and its systems that cannot be visually inspected during the site visit can also be accounted for by documentary evidence. In order to achieve the most accurate rating, you can provide in advance, or make available on the day, any documentation you may have relating to the construction of the building and the make and model of any HVAC systems, lighting designs etc.

For any elements of the building that can not be visually inspected or evidenced by documentation, a set of default assumptions have to be made. These assumptions use ‘worse case scenario’ default values, and as such can lead to a worse EPC rating. The Commercial EPC process does not take into account energy used by commercial processes taking place within the building, such as manufacturing, food preparation etc, to allow a fair comparison between buildings. more information.

Our surveyor will need access to all parts of the building, including any plant rooms. They will take a set of measurements, notes and photographs of various elements of the building. For a Commercial EPC in Welwyn Garden City on a building sized such as, for example, a regular single storey coffee shop, the site visit usually takes approximately 30 minutes. Survey time is however dependent on the size and the complexity of the property, so may take several hours or more for a complex building such as a large care home.

Once our assessor has visited the site, all the data collected will be used to make a 3d model of the building in specialist software. From this an EPC calculation will be run, using the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) methodology, giving the building an EPC score on an A+ to G scale. This score relates to how much CO₂ was produced generating the energy to condition, light, ventilate and provide domestic hot water for the building.

Alongside the EPC report, the SBEM calculation also provides a Recommendation Report (RR), however this report, which is automatically generated by the software, is very generic, so alongside your Commercial EPC in Welwyn Garden City we can also provide a much more specifically tailored report examining the least disruptive and most cost effective ways to achieve a target EPC rating. This is in the form of our Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) reports.
