What is EPC bands?

EPC bands are the seven A-G ratings on an Energy Performance Certificate, based on a SAP or RdSAP score from 1 to 100+. A is most efficient (92+) and G is least (1-20). Domestic privately rented properties in England and Wales must reach E or higher under MEES; proposed reforms would raise this to C for new tenancies. Lender Energy Efficiency Schemes increasingly reference EPC bands directly.
