The Non Domestic Energy Assessor will need to collect sufficient data about the building in order to produce an EPC. Although the assessor will be capable of collecting all the relevant data without assistance, the process of doing so can be time consuming which will ultimately be reflected in the cost of producing an EPC.

The provision of certain plans and documents will greatly assist the assessor and not only reduce costs but in many cases accurate documentation will help produce a better rating for the building.

Such documents include:

     ๏   Floor Plans, building control sign-offs and certificates

     ๏   Window specifications and certificates

     ๏   Heating, ventilation, hot water and air conditioning manuals

     ๏   Lighting information

The assessor will generally require access to all parts of the building, they will need to know in advance if there are any parts that are not accessible. They will need to know your health and safety policies and details about any hazardous materials or processes they may come across. General information about extensions or current building works should be provided.

If your building has specialist staff for maintenance of the building and its services the assessor would benefit from access to this person during their survey.
