On 8 December 2020, regulations were published under the National Building Regulations and Building Standard Act 1997, these regulations require public sector buildings greater than 1 000m² (one thousand square meters) and private sector buildings greater than 2 000m² (two thousand square meters) to publicly display their Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) by 7 December 2022. It must be noted that even if a building is privately owned, if it is occupied by an “organ of state” the size threshold becomes 1 000m² (one thousand square meters). An EPC provides an indication of a building’s yearly operational energy performance by measuring energy consumption per square metre per annum (kWh/m2/pa). The EPC ranks the energy rating of a building on a performance scale of A to G, with A being the most efficient and G the least efficient rating. Not all buildings are required to get an EPC. Factories and manufacturing plants do not require EPCs, however the following building occupancy classes must display an EPC by the December 2022 deadline:
