In a step towards the governments strategy to achieve Net Zero by 2050, if you have a commercial or tenanted space you must ensure these premises are energy efficient. Having a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for your premises is a mandatory requirement as well as ensuring your rating complies with the minimum Energy Efficiency Standard .

EPC’s use an A-G rating scale based on energy bill costs of running the building. An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years.In line with the government strategy to Net-Zero, the grade requirement is changing over the years .If your premises does not meet the rating requirement, you must make improvements to your premises to increase your energy efficiency rating or you could be liable for costly penalties.
