SMART EPC

SMART EPC is the market leading handheld EPC and site note generation tool. Our software is used by over 1500 Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) and the UK’s top corporate and social housing EPC providers in conjunction with the leading EPC Accreditation Schemes. SMART EPC is a combined hardware and software package which enables DEAs to generate EPCs with a supporting Record of Inspection using the latest handheld PDA technology.

Uniquely, SMART EPC captures both RdSAP data on site and additional supporting observations, limitations to inspection and site photos. With the inspection complete, SMART EPC populates the DEA's Accreditation Scheme report writing software and generates a comprehensive and consistent electronic Record of Inspection for each EPC. The Record of Inspection is tailored to the requirements of the DEA’s Accreditation Scheme and dispenses with the requirement for manual RdSAP forms.
