Issuing EPCs with JPA Designer - IMPORTANT

On 17th April 2011 revised arrangements for issuing Energy Performance Certiﬁcates came into effect.

There are changes to:
• the data set used for lodgement. This will now be XML version 15.
• the SAP calculation methodology for EPCs
• the arrangements for retrieving EPCs once they have been lodged.

JPA Designer has been updated to implement those changes and all users should download and install Version 5.02a1.

The extent of the changes varies between countries, and users should follow the relevant guidance shown in our Technical Note 2011/03. This can be downloaded from the 'Downloads' page of our website or by clicking on the first link below.

If you issue EPCs you must read this technical note.

We also have a guide to lodging EPCs with version 5.02a1 - this contains a section on solving all common problems and what to look our for. This can be downloaded from the 'Downloads' page of our website or by clicking on the second link below.
