Commercial building energy-performance advice — Energy performance certificate adviser
Describe how the premises are used, which areas form the commission and whether you need certification or improvement advice. Provide available plans and services records so the adviser can identify mixed uses, separately occupied units and systems that need specialist assessment.
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
Typical tasks
- Establish non-domestic building use
- Define assessed areas and boundaries
- Review technical-system information
- Identify the appropriate assessment expertise
- Explain findings and improvement-investigation priorities
What to include in your brief
- Premises use
- Approximate area and unit layout
- Heating and cooling information
- Existing certificates and plans
- Certification or advisory objective
Choosing the right professional
Check the provider's experience with the type and complexity of premises. Agree whether the output covers the whole building or selected units, and whether additional operational data analysis is included beyond the certificate process.
Important considerations
- Mixed uses can complicate assessment boundaries
- Incomplete plant information may require additional investigation
