01 / Define your objective
Separate appearance, comfort, moisture management and energy-performance goals. Identify which outcomes need calculations, testing or formal assessment.
ECOPROCORK® · Energy performance
Plan a thermal improvement.
Check the whole building.
If your objective is a better EPC rating or lower heat loss, start with the building assessment and the performance of the complete proposed construction.
Discuss your project requirements
Understanding an EPC
A building rating.
Not a product label.
An Energy Performance Certificate records a building’s energy rating and includes recommendations for improvement. It is prepared through an energy assessment using the applicable methodology.
A material’s thermal-conductivity figure, an installation photograph or a manufacturer’s general description does not establish a change in the building’s EPC rating.
Before commissioning work specifically to improve a rating, ask an accredited energy assessor what can be recognised and what supporting evidence will be needed.
What can ECOPROCORK confirm?
Ask the technical team for the named products, proposed build-up, installed thickness and relevant material evidence for your project.
What needs a building assessment?
The resulting wall performance, interaction with the existing construction and any effect on an EPC or energy use need project-specific assessment. No universal rating uplift or percentage saving is promised here.
A practical order of work
Define. Assess. Specify. Record.
02 / Assess the building
Review the existing construction, condition and necessary repairs. Consider insulation, heating and ventilation together with moisture behaviour.
03 / Compare complete options
Compare the proposed cork build-up with suitable alternatives at their specified thickness. A thin coating and a full insulation system should not be treated as equivalent.
04 / Keep the evidence
Agree which product records, thickness information, installation photographs and other documents should be retained. Confirm the assessor’s evidence requirements before work begins.
Bring your performance brief to the conversation.
Share the property type, location, existing wall or roof construction, current assessment and the outcome you need. We can discuss the relevant ECOPROCORK route and technical information for your design team.
Use current official guidance
For EPC requirements and assessment information, refer to GOV.UK’s EPC guidance collection and its guide for dwellings. Check the rules relevant to your property and jurisdiction with a qualified adviser.
This page explains the relationship between material information and building assessment. It does not promise a particular EPC result or confirm compliance for an individual property.
