All commercial properties in Scotland require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when being sold or let.
All business premises offered for sale or rental/lease must have an EPC registered prior to, or within 7 days of being offered to the market.
There are some exemptions, which MAY include:
- Temporary buildings
- Buildings which are due to be demolished
- Places of worship
- Buildings with a low energy demand e.g. barns. warehouses or engineering plants
- Lease renewals or extensions, lease surrenders, and compulsory purchase orders
Please contact us to confirm specific details on this.
The EPC certificate is valid for 10 years regardless of how many times the property is put on the market for lease or sale during that period. If any work is carried out that alters the thermal dynamics of the property e.g. change of boiler type, or installing double glazing, then an updated or new EPC would be required.
Your Commercial EPC will include a detailed analysis of the building’s energy efficiency, with an Energy Efficiency Rating between A and G (G being the most efficient).
It will also include advice on how to make cost effective improvements to the building to make it more energy efficient.

FAQs - Commercial EPC Scotland
What is a Commercial EPC?
A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal document that measures the energy efficiency of a non-domestic property. It provides an energy rating from A to G and includes recommendations for improving energy performance and reducing operating costs.
When is a Commercial EPC required in Scotland?
A Commercial EPC is usually required when a commercial property is being sold, leased, or marketed for rent. In most cases, the certificate must be available before the property is placed on the market to ensure compliance with Scottish regulations.
How long does a Commercial EPC remain valid?
A Commercial EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. However, if significant changes are made to the building that affect its energy performance, a new assessment may be required before the existing certificate expires.
What types of commercial properties require an EPC?
Commercial EPCs are required for a wide range of non-domestic buildings, including offices, retail units, shops, restaurants, industrial units, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and other business premises.
What happens during a Commercial EPC assessment?
A qualified assessor will visit the property and inspect factors such as heating systems, lighting, insulation, glazing, ventilation, and the building's overall construction. This information is used to calculate the property's energy efficiency rating and generate the certificate.
Can a Commercial EPC help reduce business energy costs?
Yes. Every Commercial EPC includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency. Following these recommendations can help reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, improve occupant comfort, and potentially increase the property's appeal to prospective tenants or buyers.
