How long will the assessment take?

The DEA will typically spend about 1 hour at the property, depending on size, and will collect data relating to the energy usage of the house.

What will be inspected?

The inspection is only visual with no drilling or panel removal and no disturbance to the fabric of your home.

The inspection and data collected will typically include the following;

  • The year of property construction
  • Walls and roof construction
  • Signs of wall-cavity insulation
  • Energy-saving "green" devices (such as solar panels, for instance)
  • Number of double glazed windows and when installed
  • Number of open or closed fireplaces
  • Make and model of boiler and the type of flue and fuel used
  • Number of low energy light-bulbs
  • Type of heating system used and controls (wall thermostat etc...)
  • Roof insulation and thickness.
  • Measure the thickness of the hot water cylinder jacket or foam.
  • Check for excessive window area in larger houses and take measurements of conservatories and extensions.
  • Note the number of habitable rooms that are heated.
  • Measure the internal or external areas of the home.
  • Sketch and make notes relating to home and room layout


Do I need to provide any information?


  • At this time it would be helpful to have available any information you may have about your home's heating, double glazing system and any refurbishment works that have added extra insulation because this can be used to help establish your property's energy rating

What is the data used for?

The data collected will be used to produce the EPC and recommendations for improvement. This Certificate will be registered and published on the Landmark website at
