It’s crucial to understand that having an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for anyone intending to rent out or sell their commercial property. Failing to comply can lead to hefty fines.
Curious about how energy-efficient your building is? Non-Domestic EPCs assign energy efficiency ratings ranging from A (the most efficient, 0) to G (the least efficient, 150 or above). Properties that fail to secure at least an E rating do not meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (M.E.E.S), requiring mandatory improvements to boost their energy performance. For expert advice on navigating these standards throughout Mid-Wales and the UK, turn to Energy Performance Direct. We’re here to ensure your property doesn’t just meet these criteria but surpasses them.
