After undertaking our first ever non-domestic EPC, a pub in Devon, using the basic iSBEM EPC software, both of us soon transitioned to Design Builder.

April was a quieter month for us, mostly because of Easter and all those Bank Holidays! One thing that has kept us busy though is doing U value calculations.

Building Regulations are changing with the latest 2013 version coming into force on 6 April 2014. Meeting CO2 emissions targets will become tougher and these amendments will apply to both domestic and non-domestic new buildings.

At Up Energy, we often get asked what is an EPC so we thought we would write a (relatively) brief guide to explain them.
