Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) lodged in Scotland can be found on the Scottish EPC register. When a non-domestic or domestic is lodged by an Assessor in Scottland the EPC is stored centrally and can be retrieved. This is a useful register to check whether a building has an EPC.
This register is operated by the Energy Saving Trust on behalf of the Scottish Government. Access to the Scottish EPC Register is determined by The Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2008.
General access to data held on the register is restricted to ‘authorised recipients’ including Approved Organisations and Local Authorities. Members of the public may search for individual EPCs by report reference number and now also a postcode.
In England and Wales, Energy Performance Certificates can be retrieved by RRN and postcode. Go to the England and Wales EPC register - search by postcode
