The latest release of the software used to produce EPCs is due to be released on June 15th.

 

 It will be known as RdSAP 10. Within this version are a lot more areas to collect data. For instance, each window will need to be measured and whether it is facing N,S.E or W. Much more data is also to be collected for Rooms in Roof/ Loft rooms. Whereas at the moment the type of light fitting is collected, e.g low energy or normal, with RdSAP 10 every bulb in the fitting will also need to be counted.

 

All this will entail more time per EPC on site and at lodgement. This will result in an increase in price as the EPC is now a much more in depth and detailed survey then when I started out in 2008
