Overview

What Is a Non-Domestic EPC?

A non-domestic EPC does the same job as a residential one, but for commercial buildings. It rates the building’s energy performance and is legally required when a commercial property is built, sold or let.

Commercial assessments are more involved than domestic ones. The building fabric, the heating and cooling systems, ventilation, lighting and the way the space is divided all feed into the rating, and larger or more complex buildings require a more detailed level of assessment.

Who Needs One

  • Landlords letting commercial premises
  • Owners selling a commercial building
  • Developers completing a new commercial build or a significant conversion
  • Agents marketing commercial space
  • Anyone needing to demonstrate MEES compliance before granting or renewing a lease

Property Types We Cover

Shops and retail units, offices, industrial and warehouse units, workshops, light industrial premises, mixed use buildings with commercial ground floors, community buildings and places of worship, and vacant units being brought back into use.

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards

Commercial landlords are subject to minimum energy efficiency standards that restrict letting property below a certain rating, with the standard tightening over time. If your building is rated close to the limit, we can talk through the practical improvements that tend to shift the rating, and what they’re likely to involve.
