Scotland EPC energy standards 2028
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of energy efficiency in buildings. With concerns about climate change and the need to reduce carbon emissions, governments around the world have been implementing policies to improve the energy performance of buildings. In the UK, this has led to the introduction of energy performance certificates (EPCs) for residential and commercial properties.
In Scotland, the government has set ambitious targets for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. By 2028, all properties in Scotland will need to meet a minimum energy performance standard of EPC rating C. This means that landlords and property owners will need to take action to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings in order to comply with the new regulations.
At PropCert Ltd, we understand the importance of energy efficiency and the impact it can have on both the environment and the running costs of a property. That’s why we offer a range of certification and compliance services to help property owners meet the new energy standards in Scotland.
One of the key services we provide is Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). An EPC is a report that assesses the energy efficiency of a property and provides recommendations for improvements. By getting an EPC for your property, you can see how energy efficient it is and what steps you can take to make it more energy efficient.
For properties that are not currently meeting the minimum energy performance standard of EPC rating C, our team of experts can provide advice on the best ways to improve energy efficiency. This could include upgrading insulation, installing more efficient heating systems, or making other changes to the building fabric.
In addition to EPCs, we also offer other certification and compliance services that can help property owners meet the new energy standards in Scotland. This includes Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), gas safety certificates (CP12), boiler servicing, asbestos and fire risk surveys, and more.
By ensuring that your property meets the minimum energy performance standard of EPC rating C, you can not only comply with the regulations in Scotland but also benefit from lower running costs and a more comfortable living or working environment. Improving energy efficiency can also increase the value of your property and make it more attractive to potential tenants or buyers.

Our team of experts has the knowledge and experience to assess the energy efficiency of your property and recommend the best ways to improve it.
