Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) in Scotland

Existing Domestic Buildings and Existing Non-Domestic Buildings

BRE is approved by the Building Standards Division of the Scottish Government, to operate an Energy Performance Certification Scheme (EPC) for Domestic and Non Domestic Buildings in Scotland.

EPCs are required for all new buildings constructed after 1 May 2007.  There was also a requirement during 2008 & early 2009 for existing buildings to have an EPC when they were being sold or rented. This applies to homes, public sector buildings and business premises. The BRE Scheme is a respected and recognised mechanism that allows members to legally issue EPCs in Scotland.

IMPORTANT NEWS

All Domestic Scheme applicants will be required to provide a current copy of a basic Disclosure Scotland Certificate before membership can be awarded. Apply directly to Disclosure Scotland to order a certificate on-line.
