Property can only be put on the market for advertising if EPC has been applied or paid for.
The Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) open data site was launched in 2016. It provides both an interface and programmatic access to allow users to search for and download almost 30 million energy performance certificates in England and Wales. The site is well-used, and experiences high volumes of activity, with 30 million API requests and 40,000 zip files downloaded each month.
Over the years, we have been making incremental improvements to the service, and we are pleased to announce another round of improvements applied in January 2024.
How we chose what to focus on:
To determine which areas to focus on when making improvements, we have taken into account feedback from our users, analysis of usage statistics and a review of support tickets. We have also taken the opportunity to review the site through the lens of the latest design standards, as well as implementing features and approaches to getting data from other sites.
From this analysis, we decided that there were 2 parts of the service that we wanted to improve – both centered around the way that users can get data out of the application.
