Yes, EPCs suggest improvements that balance cost and energy savings using current data and modelling.

Energy efficiency recommendations are generated automatically by the RdSAP 10 software based on data collected during the EPC assessment. These suggestions can include upgrades such as improving insulation, replacing an older boiler, or installing renewable technologies like solar panels or heat pumps.

To be included, energy efficiency recommendations must show they can improve the property’s energy rating by at least one point on the SAP scale. The software then prioritises them by cost-effectiveness, using typical installation costs and the expected improvement in energy performance.

However, it’s important to note that these recommendations do not take into account practical factors specific to the property—such as planning restrictions, available space, or individual preferences. They are intended as standardised guidance based on the data gathered, and further advice may be needed to determine what is truly suitable in each case.
