Background:
The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy has, under section 19(1)(b) of the National Energy Act, published regulations for the mandatory display and submission of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) for buildings in Notice 700 of Government Gazette 43792.
Briefly, if you own or are responsible for a building which has a total net floor area of over 1000m² in the public sector, and 2000m² in the private sector, then these regulations do affect you for the regulated category. The energy performance rating on the EPC refers to the net energy consumed in kWh per m² per annum.
The EPC must be displayed in the foyer of the building and submitted to the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) every 5 years.
