Commercial EPC assessment for Lloyds Bank in Bracknell, Reading

📝 The Project

Certus Commercial was instructed to carry out a Level 4 Commercial EPC assessment for a three-storey Lloyds Bank branch in Bracknell, comprising approximately 677 m² of occupied commercial space.

As the bank remained fully operational throughout the survey, the assessment was carried out with minimal disruption to staff and customers. Access to secure areas was coordinated with the client, with identification presented where required, allowing the survey to be completed safely and professionally.

The building presented several technical challenges, including multiple heating and cooling systems serving different areas, a varied lighting installation incorporating LED, T8 and T5 fittings, and a partially below-ground basement which required careful zoning within the SBEM model. Detailed measurements and system identification were undertaken on site before the building was modelled and assessed.

"Needed an urgent Commercial EPC for our premises in Bexhill-on-Sea and couldn't be happier with the service. George moved his schedule around to fit me in immediately and had the full report completed with incredible turn-around time. Professional, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient. Highly recommend!"
