Non-residential buildings in South Africa will be required to submit and display an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or risk a R5 million fine, five years in prison, or both.
The regulations were gazetted on 8 December 2020 and will apply on 7 December 2022, meaning that building owners who have not yet acted have just over two months left to comply.
The certification aims at making buildings in South Africa more energy efficient while reducing the strain on the national electrical grid and helping the country meet its emissions commitments in the future.
