In 2019, 55% of homes in Scotland have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or lower. Therefore, there is still a long way to go to meet the Scottish Government target of all residential buildings achieving a EPC rating of at least C by 2033. EPCs identify how energy efficient or inefficient your home is, and as such highlight how costly it is to both heat and power your property and publish its environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, if you lower your home’s EPC rating is (i.e. D, E, F, G) the higher your fuel bills are likely to be and the higher energy requirements is needed to make your home comfortable during the colder months.
