Background

Under the National Energy Act (Section 19(1)(b)), the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy mandates the display and submission of EPCs for buildings (Government Gazette 43792, Notice 700).

• Buildings exceeding 1000m² in the public sector or 2000m² in the private sector fall under these regulations.
• EPCs must reflect energy consumption (kWh/m²/year) and be displayed in the building’s foyer and submitted to SANEDI every five years.
