Frufallan Show Home - (EPC) Energy Performance Certificate

Svenskhomes show home Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), highlights the energy performance of our homes as standard. This example house EPC is heated with LPG (Gas) which is one of the lowest rated enegry source. It has no renewable energy resources fitted and passed code 3 for sustainable homes with ease. As indicated in the energy efficiency page, this house would pass code 4 with the simple inclusion of an air source heat pump.

Alternatively you can achieve code 4 and an A-Rated EPC with the simple inclusion of: -

• 3 KW’s of Photo Voltaic
• A Wood burner and
• A 90% Energy Efficient Gas or Oil burner 

Further measures to achieve even higher standards 

 

	Ratings after improvement
	Energy efficiency	Environmental impact
1  Solar water heating	C 80	B 84
2  Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWp	B 86	B 90
3  Wind turbine	B 88	A 92
Enhanced energy efficiency rating	B 88
Enhanced environmental impact (CO2) rating		A 92

Improvements to the energy efficiency and environment impact ratings will usually be in step with each other. However, they can sometimes diverge because reduced energy costs are not always accompanied by a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
