Wondering about your building’s energy efficiency? Non-Domestic EPCs rate buildings from A (most efficient, 0) to G (least efficient, 150 or more). Properties that cannot achieve at least an E rating fall short of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (M.E.E.S), mandating legal upgrades to improve energy performance.
