The address, city and postcode of the building can
be specified.
- Type of
analysis - Refers to the type of analysis that will be carried out.
- Building
location - Used to select the nearest city to the project site from
the available locations - there are 14 locations for England and Wales, 1 for
Scotland, and 1 for Northern Ireland.
- Stage of
analysis - Specifies whether the building is
As designed (new building) or
As built (existing building).
- S6 Type
of Building
- Enabled for Scottish regulation and EPC Scotland
type analysis. You can set the S6 type to either of the following:
- Shell buildings
- Extensions to the insulation envelope
- Other buildings
- Project
complexity - Refers to the complexity of the building for the
purposes of energy assessments for EPCs.
-
Level 3 - Simple, existing
buildings, calculated using SBEM.
-
Level 4- New and existing buildings,
calculated using SBEM.
-
Level 5 - New and existing buildings
calculated using dynamic simulation models.
- Related
party disclosure - Used for any related party disclosures by the
Energy Assessor for the purposes of energy calculations for EPCs.
- Transaction
type - Used to specify the type of transaction issue to specify the
status of the building for EPCs.
- Build is
naturally ventilated and does not overheat - When checked, the
build is treated overheat proof, as it is provided with natural ventilation.
- Type of
EPC - The choices are
Actual or
Potential.
Note: If
Potential EPC if selected, and
additional Potential measures tab is added for implementing Scenarios and
measures (note these drive the DSM Part L as well).

Building Details
|
- Name - The
building name.
- Address - The
building address.
- City - The city
in which the building is located.
- Postal
code - The building postal code.
- Location
description - Description of the building location.
- UPRN - The
Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) of the building. This parameter is
active only if the analysis is set to EPC generation. In England, Wales, and
Northern Ireland, this parameter consists of 12 digits while in Scotland, it
consists of 10 digits. It should not be left blank.
- RRN - The
Report Reference Number ( RRN ) of an EPC was previously done for the building
in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland. This parameter is active only if the
"Purpose of Analysis" parameter is set for generation of EPC in England, Wales,
or Northern Ireland, and the UPRN cannot be provided. It consists of 20 digits
in the form of five sets of numbers separated by hyphens, where each set is
comprised of 4 digits (the software will add an " RRN -" prefix).
- Inspection date
- The date on which the energy assessor inspected the building for the purposes
of energy calculations for EPCs.
- Foundation area
- The foundation area of the building (m2 ), as defined in DLUHC's 2021 NCM
Modelling Guide (and Scotland's 2022 NCM Modelling Guide).

Certifier
|
The pane contains the energy assessor's details.
The name, address, city, postcode and the telephone
number of the energy assessor.
- Protocol Organisation - the name of the agency,
with accreditation credential.
- Membership Number - the official registration
number of the energy assessor agent/agency.
- EPC gen.net activation code - the unique code of
the energy assessor received from accreditation scheme, such as after the
get.net was activated.
- EPC gen.net activation code - the unique code of
the energy assessor received from accreditation scheme, such as after the
get.net was activated.
- Qualifications - the qualifications of the
energy assessor as they will need to be qualified for the type of building
being assessed.
- Assessor Comp No. - the assessor's comp number.
Important: Energy assessors should input
full details (name, address, qualifications, name of Accreditation Scheme
Provider, trading name, etc.) in the interface exactly as they want them to
appear in the XML file and on the lodged EPC, as well as their assessor number.
The new verification system will not overwrite these details with information
from the National Register.

Insurance and Owner
|
The pane contains the energy assessor's insurance
and building owner's details.
Insurance - the Insurance
details of the building including the policy number, effectivity and the limit.
Owner of the building - the
name, address, city, postcode and the telephone number of the building occupier
can be specified.

Special Considerations
|
The pane specifies various factors and status
marked in the checklist that determine the health of the building.
- Designated and built following accredited
construction details.
- Building is of special conservation status
- Building is a shell and core development
Building is of special conservation status (Special
considerations tab) – the building has been identified as being:
- of special
architectural or historical interest
- in a conservation
area
- in a designated area
of special character or appearance
- or of traditional
construction
|
Regulation 25A
|
The pane specifies various environmental factors
that determine energy usage and conservation. Set the applicable checks that
have adopted in the building design.
- In the design of the building, please confirm
by ticking the box that consideration has been given to the use of
"alternative energy systems." as defined in
Regulation 25A (renewable energy system, CHP, district heating/cooling or heat
pump).
- Please confirm by ticking the box that evidence
of such a feasibility is available for inspection.
- Renewable energy system.
- CHP
- District heating and/or cooling
- Heat pump
By submitting above facts you will agree upon assessment and
inspection, as needed.
