Why It Matters

Since 4th January 2009, all commercial properties require an EPC when being sold or let. Under the Energy Act 2011 and MEES Regulations, landlords failing to comply face significant financial penalties.
From April 2018, any commercial property with an EPC below an E rating cannot be rented to new or existing tenants. From April 2023, MEES applies to all existing commercial leases — and targets are tightening towards Band D and even Band C before 2030.

EPCs are regularly used by tenants and buyers to compare running costs between properties — a better rating makes your asset more attractive and more valuable.

  • Legal Obligations

EPC & Energy Efficiency Law

Understanding your legal obligations under UK fire safety legislation
  • Energy Act 2011

Legal Requirement to Have an EPC

Commercial EPCs have been mandatory since 2009 for sale, rental or construction of any non-domestic building. Failure to obtain one is a punishable offence enforced by local authorities.
  • MEES Regs 2018

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard

From April 2018, landlords cannot let commercial premises below an E rating to new tenants. From April 2023 this applies to all existing leases. Ratings are set to rise to D or C by 2030.

  • Energy Act 2023

Future-Proofing Your Property

New legislation continues to tighten efficiency standards. Proactively improving your EPC rating now protects asset value and prevents costly retrofits under future compliance deadlines.

Who Does This Apply To?

The EPC obligation applies to all non-domestic properties including retail, offices, hotels, care homes, warehouses, factories, restaurants and industrial units — where a responsible person is the landlord, tenant or property manager.

EPC Ratings Explained

Commercial EPCs grade buildings A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The average UK building sits between D and E. Properties with better ratings attract higher-quality tenants and command stronger rents.
  • Penalties for Non-Compliance
  • Non-compliance with commercial EPC legislation is enforced by local authorities and may result in a fine of up to 12.5% of the rateable value of the property — with a minimum of £500 and a maximum of £5,000. This is in addition to the cost of obtaining a compliant EPC.

What Happens During a Commercial EPC Survey?

Our assessors carry out a thorough, non-destructive inspection. To speed up the process and improve accuracy, please have the following information ready:
  • Unrestricted access to all areas of the property
  • Floor plans of the premises, preferably to scale
  • Year of construction and building regulations used
  • Documentation on any improvements you have made
  • Insulation levels in the building
  • The systems providing heat to your building (make & models)
  • How fresh air moved around the building
  • What keeps the building cool (make & model)
  • How is hot water is provided (make & model, size)
  • Building management systems or control.
  • Glazing – year of installation
  • Lighting systems for the building
  • Presence of onsite energy generation
  • How the building is used and by whom

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES)

With our extensive knowledge of EPC methodology, we can offer specialists advice to ensure the most cost-efficient compliance solutions and improvements are achieved  for all ‘Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards’ (MEES) related issues. 

From 1st April 2020 the MESS regulation applies to all domestic and non-domestic rented properties. It is now unlawful to let a property to new tenants or renew to existing domestic tenants if the property has an EPC with a rating below E (i.e. F and G) 

In order for the Government to hit their carbon targets, MEES standards are set to rise before 2030 to a Band D or even a Band C
