Certification for units in blocks can be based on the assessment of another unit in the same block. Representative units should all be in the same building or block. What makes one unit representative of another will be down to the judgment of the energy assessor as to whether the data used for one building would accurately reflect another. Material facts may include age and construction of the building, orientation, position within the block, type of heating, insulation and glazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If one unit in a block were surveyed in detail the energy assessor can copy the data model to prepare an EPC for another. The energy assessor needs to be satisfied that they are the same (or make any adjustments as required) and then submit the data to produce an EPC for the second unit. Where a number of assessments are based on the assessment of another representative unit, the energy assessor will need to visit a sufficient sample of the units to verify that they are indeed representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The use and occupancy patterns of a non-dwelling can be complex. Annex B<\/a> highlights a number of situations that frequently occur and the requirements for an EPC. These examples may change over time and are not a definitive list of the possible situations which may occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Certification for units in blocks can be based on the assessment of another unit in the same block.
