Commercial building energy-performance advice — Energy performance certificate adviser — Professionals

Commercial energy leads require early qualification of building type and technical complexity. Providers should identify the appropriate assessment role, clarify landlord and occupier interfaces and define a report whose stated coverage matches the actual commission.

Service scope

Energy-performance advice for non-domestic premises, taking account of the building use, assessed extent and relevant technical systems. Formal certification and operational energy consultancy are separate tasks, and a domestic-house assessment method must not be assumed suitable for commercial premises.

What is normally included

  • Non-domestic assessment scoping
  • Review of relevant building systems
  • Interpretation of commercial energy findings

What is not included

  • Automatic use of domestic certification
  • Guaranteed compliance or operating-cost savings

Qualification checks

  • Confirm building-use categories
  • Establish unit boundaries
  • Review plant records
  • Check assessor suitability
  • Allocate landlord and occupier information duties

Quote guidance

Price assessment and advisory stages independently where their evidence needs differ. Explain allowances for complex systems, tenant access and additional visits rather than applying a domestic-property package to a commercial building.

Lead risks

  • Occupiers may lack records controlled by the landlord
  • Certificate and operational-audit expectations may diverge
