On-Construction energy performance certificates
On completion all homes new or converted there will be a requirement to provide an OC EPC , with evidence shown to Building Control. If you do any building work to a home which creates (or combines) a separate dwelling that has heating, hot water or air conditioning, then you will need to provide an EPC for the home(s).
When you finish your building work, Building Control ask you to submit a final SAP notice which includes an energy rating to demonstrate your building complies with the Building Regulations.
By the same date on the notice, you must get an OC EPC from an Accredited On Construction Energy Assessor, having the assessment done at initial building regs submission avoids costly retro fitting if mistakes in spec have been made.
OC EPC's Explained in detail Change of use When a property under goes a material change of use, a flat is added to a building of any type or the number of dwellings in a building change in addition to the SAP requirement it is necessary to provide an OC EPC.

What, and when we deliver
The Data is collected from drawings, building notes and spec sheets,
Data is then inputted into the accredited software by our Authorised OC DEA and a draft report is created. If the design passes all criteria an as built final report is issued along with a Predicted Energy Performance Certificate (PEA) and submitted with main application to building control (prior to commencement of works) after payment is received.
On-completion the architect/client/builder advises our Authorised assessor of any changes during the build, (if any) and provides the air tightness test result (where relevant).Our assessor then produces the as built final SAP report and On Construction energy performance certificate (OC EPC) and submit both to building control for final sign off.
