Yes. In the UK, commercial properties including offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and hospitality venues need an EPC. An EPC is a legal requirement if your property is over 50 sq. m and is for sale, rent, or newly built. Property owners without a valid EPC risk fines and penalties.

Energy costs are probably one of your business’s biggest expenses. Improving energy efficiency directly affects your profitability. We can provide recommendations for improvements to help reduce energy consumption.

As well as reducing costs, energy-efficiency improvements help reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability goals. A higher energy rating in your EPC shows you have reduced your property’s environmental impact. In many sectors this is an important consideration for your customers, so it can help improve your reputation.

There are a lot of options to improve energy efficiency, including:improved insulation

• energy-efficient lighting such as LEDs
• updates for heating and cooling systems
• renewable energy sources like solar panels
• programmable controls and sensors to reduce energy use.
• Voltage Optimisers to reduce grid voltages.

Introducing these measures can make commercial properties more attractive to tenants and investors and deliver long-term savings.
