Energy Performance Certificate
Your EPC - Made easy!
Energy Efficiency & Carbon Emissions Due Diligence for Your Business through Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
With the ever-increasing appetite for green, sustainable buildings, hotel investors, owners and operators are increasingly embedding ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations into every stage of a hotel investment lifecycle, from due diligence to acquisitions and from leasing to asset management, and subsequent exit strategy.
Implementing credible environmental strategies enables them to contemplate a higher market value for their assets, also known as a “green premium”, noting too that where buildings do not conform to being “green” they might suffer from a reduced value, a concept which is becoming popularly known as the “brown discount”.
The opportunity to report and disclose ESG performance attributes of individual assets, portfolios and institutions is increasing, with regulatory disclosure requirements and pressures rising.
“Working with multiple hotel investors, owners and operators we recognise that ESG issues are rapidly reshaping the real estate investment landscape and are of increasing importance for all stakeholders.”

Benefits of EPCs
Builds stakeholder interest: An EPC is intended to provide prospective buyers and tenants of a building with correct information about the energy performance of the building and practical advice on improving such performance.
Mitigating Risk: With regulatory disclosure requirements to report ESG performance increasing, having an up-to-date EPC ensures that businesses remain legally compliant and can meet evolving energy.
Transforming and future-proofing assets: Regular assessments can identify areas where energy efficiency can be improved, leading to reduced energy consumption, lower utility bills and improved net operating income (NOI).
Asset management: Regular energy efficiency assessments provide valuable insights into the condition of the property’s infrastructure, enabling better maintenance planning and investment in upgrades.
Carbon Footprint Reduction: Up-to-date EPCs help operators monitor and reduce their carbon footprint, contributing to broader environmental goals.
Eco-certification: Having an up-to-date EPC helps hotel owners and operators improve their eco-certification rating, as when the certificate is assessed by Green Tourism it covers criteria, including sustainability awareness, energy saving measures and carbon reduction strategy.
Creating value: Being able to demonstrate a buildings ‘green credentials’ enables owners to contemplate a higher market value for their assets.
