== Definition ==
An '''energy performance certificate''' (EPC) is a rating scheme to summarise the energy efficiency of buildings. It is an example of a growing collection of [[Sustainability Labels And Standards]].

Such certificates are produced by [[ISCO Specialization 3112.1.5 Energy Assessor | energy assessors]], a type of [[ISCO Occupation Group 3112.1 Civil Engineering Technician | civil engineering technician]] who determine the energy performance of buildings. The [[EPC Rating]] indicates the estimated energy consumption of a property.

* Energy labelling is highly jurisdiction specific
* Not to be confused with an [[Energy Certificate]], which is a transferable record or guarantee (Certificate) related to the amount of Energy or material goods consumed by an Energy Transformation process.
