Commercial EPCs

Energy Performance Certificates for Commercial Buildings - The Midlands, Shropshire & Beyond

If you're letting, selling or developing a non-domestic property, a valid Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is usually a legal requirement.

A Commercial EPC rates the energy efficiency of a building from A+ (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is based on carbon emissions from the building's fabric and fixed services (e.g. heating, lighting, and ventilation). The certificate also includes tailored recommendations to improve energy efficiency and compliance.

Unlike Domestic EPCs, Commercial EPCs use a different methodology and focus on carbon performance rather than running costs.

When is a Commercial EPC Required?

You'll need a Commercial EPC if you are:

Letting or selling a commercial or non-domestic property
Constructing a new commercial building
Making certain alterations that affect energy performance

Some exceptions apply, but most commercial premises will need one.

What EPC Rating Is Required to Let a Commercial Property?

To legally let a non-domestic building in England and Wales, it must meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES):

Currently: The building must have an EPC rating of E or better
Since April 2023, this applies to both new and existing lettings

Future EPC Regulations for Commercial Buildings

The government is proposing stricter efficiency targets for landlords:

Achieve EPC C by 2028
Achieve EPC B by 2030

These changes are under consultation, but early preparation is strongly advised.
