Why Tenants Love High EPC Ratings at Build To Rent Homes | buildtorent.io

Do your energy bills continue to rise, and your apartment feels poorly insulated? If yes, then it is likely to have a low EPC rating.

‣ What Is An EPC Rating?
An EPC rating reflects the energy efficiency level of a property, based on the type of dwelling, insulation, boiler, glazing options and heating system.
Every property is rated between grades G and A, where G is the least energy efficient and A is the most.
Since April 2018, all private rental properties are required to have a minimum EPC rating of E. A landlord has to make improvements to achieve this level, by improving home insulation, upgrading the heating system and replacing single-glazed windows with double-glazed.
Contrary to many energy inefficient homes in the UK, the emerging Build To Rent sector has been strictly following new home building standards to achieve top ratings between C and A. These apartments deploy energy monitoring systems, passive-solar-design, car-park exhaust fans, upgrade glazing, and use led lighting.

‣ Benefits of a High EPC Rating
A high EPC rating has many benefits, such as lower energy bills, lower carbon footprint, more accurate cost budgeting, and fewer health concerns due to a cold home.
