Commercial EPC

What Is a Commercial EPC?

A Commercial EPC rates the energy efficiency of a non-domestic property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate outlines how efficiently the building uses energy, how costly it may be to heat and cool, and how its environmental impact compares to regulations.
Alongside the energy rating, the EPC report includes detailed recommendations for improving efficiency, reducing carbon output and lowering energy bills — a valuable asset for building owners navigating modern MEES regulations.
A Commercial EPC is valid for 10 years unless major structural or mechanical changes are made to the building.

Matter

Why Commercial EPCs Matter

Commercial buildings consume significant amounts of energy, and their efficiency affects operating costs, carbon emissions and legal compliance. MEES legislation (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) now prohibits landlords from renting properties with an EPC rating below E, unless an exemption applies.
This means that a current and accurate EPC is essential not only for marketing the building, but also for ensuring future compliance and avoiding penalties.
For buyers, tenants and investors, an EPC offers transparency and helps with long-term cost planning.

What’s Included

What’s Included in a Commercial EPC Assessment

A commercial energy assessment is more in-depth than a domestic EPC and requires specialist modelling. Here’s how the process works.
01

On-Site Survey

Your assessor conducts a detailed inspection of the building, examining its structure, layout and all energy-related features. This includes heating, ventilation, cooling systems, lighting and insulation.

02

Data Collection

Measurements are taken for each zone of the building, including dimensions, window specifications, heating systems, HVAC controls and renewable energy installations.

03

SBEM Modelling

Collected data is entered into SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) software, a government-approved tool that calculates the building’s energy performance.

04

EPC Certificate Creation

Once modelling is complete, we produce your official EPC certificate, complete with the property's rating and recommendations.

05

Delivery of Results

You receive your certificate digitally, along with a clear explanation of the rating and what it means for MEES compliance.

Take

How Long Does a Commercial EPC Take?

Assessment duration depends on the size and complexity of the building. Smaller units such as single retail shops may take 1–2 hours, while larger industrial or multi-floor buildings may require several hours.
We work efficiently and with minimal interruption to staff or business operations.
