A DEA (Domestic Energy Assessor) is a professional who evaluates the energy performance of a dwelling.
At RC Energy Solutions, an EPC helps property owners, buyers, and tenants understand the energy usage and potential cost-saving improvements for the building.
We conduct an assessment by inspecting the property’s features, such as insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting, and renewables to determine its energy performance. Based on this assessment, we then generate a certificate that rates the building on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Here’s a breakdown of what an DEA does:
Conducts Property Inspections – Visits properties to assess the energy efficiency and environmental impact of the building.
Gathers Data: Collects relevant information on the property’s construction, heating systems, insulation, and energy usage
Uses Software Tools: Enters data into specialised software (RdSAP) to calculate the property’s energy efficiency rating
Issues EPC – Produces an Energy Performance Certificate that includes the property’s energy rating on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Provides Recommendations – Offers advice on improvements to increase energy efficiency, such as better insulation or more efficient heating systems.
Ensures Compliance – Ensures that the EPC meets legal requirements for property sales and rentals.
Explains the EPC – Clarifies the EPC rating and recommendations to property owners or agents
Keeps Updated on Regulations – Stays informed about changes in energy efficiency regulations and best practices for assessments
If you or your team are in need of an EPC, we would be happy to discuss how RC Energy Solutions can support you.
