Why You Need a Commercial EPC
A commercial property needs an EPC, or Energy Performance Certificate, because it shows how energy efficient the building is and is usually a legal requirement when the property is sold, let or built.
For a commercial property owner, landlord or agent, an EPC matters for five main reasons.
1. It is usually a legal requirement
In England and Wales, most business premises need an EPC when they are marketed for sale or rent. GOV.UK says you need to arrange a property assessment with a commercial energy assessor to get an EPC for business premises. The certificate is normally valid for 10 years.
2. It gives the building an energy rating
A commercial EPC rates the property from A to G, with A being the most energy efficient and G being the least efficient. This helps landlords, buyers and tenants understand how efficient the building is likely to be before they commit to a lease or purchase.
3. It helps with MEES compliance
Commercial landlords also need to consider MEES, the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard. From 1 April 2023, non-domestic landlords in England and Wales generally need a property to have at least an EPC rating of E, unless a valid exemption has been registered.
This is one of the biggest reasons commercial landlords need an EPC. A poor EPC rating can affect whether the property can legally be let.
4. It supports sales, lettings and lease renewals
Solicitors, estate agents, commercial agents, landlords and tenants will often ask for the EPC during a transaction. Without a valid EPC, a sale or letting can be delayed.
A commercial EPC may be needed for:
- Selling a shop, office, warehouse or industrial unit
- Letting a commercial premises to a new tenant
- Renewing or varying a lease
- Checking whether the property meets MEES rules
- Planning energy efficiency improvements before marketing
5. It identifies improvement opportunities
The EPC includes recommendations that can help improve the rating, such as changes to lighting, heating, insulation, ventilation or controls. This can help landlords reduce risk, improve compliance and make the building more attractive to tenants.
