Procedure
The EPB assessor inspects the property and calculates the energy use rating of the building. The assessor then issues an EPC. The BRO charges a €75 registration fee for each certificate registration. There is no set fee for an EPC, since every assessor is allowed to set their own price. An EPC is valid for 10 years.
