Whether you need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) depends on your specific situation and the regulations in your country or region. Here are some common scenarios where an EPC might be required:

1. Selling or Renting Property: In many countries, when you’re selling or renting out a property, you are usually required to provide an EPC to potential buyers or tenants. This is to ensure that they have information about the energy efficiency of the property before making a decision.
2. New Construction: If you’re constructing a new building, regulations in many places may require you to obtain an EPC to demonstrate compliance with energy efficiency standards.
3. Renovations: Major renovations or modifications to an existing building might trigger the need for a new EPC, especially if the changes impact the energy performance of the property.
4. Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Some regions or countries have specific energy efficiency regulations that mandate EPCs for certain types of buildings or transactions.
5. Property Assessments and Audits: In some cases, property assessments or audits related to energy efficiency programs might require an EPC to evaluate the energy performance of the building.

It’s important to check with your local authorities, real estate agents, or relevant professionals to determine whether you need an EPC in your situation. Keep in mind that the requirements can vary from one place to another, and staying informed about the regulations in your region will help you comply with any legal obligations related to energy efficiency certificates.
