The MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) Regulations make it unlawful to let buildings (both commercial and domestic) across England and Wales which do not achieve a minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘E’.
Landlords, ensure your commercial properties are compliant. Get in touch today!
Back in February 2017, the Government released the guidance on the application of the MEES regulations for commercial property. This clarifies when the regulations apply, how to identify the relevant energy efficiency works that must be carried out on ‘F’ or ‘G’ rated properties.
What are the purposes of the MEES regulations?:
- Improve the energy efficiency of the most inefficient properties, those with an EPC rating of ‘F’ or ‘G’.
- Work toward achieving the UK’s targets for CO2 emissions from all buildings.
- Help to tackle the common barrier to the implementation of energy efficiency works in buildings where the landlord is liable for the bill for improvements that benefit the tenant.
If you are unsure about the energy efficiency of your property and would like specialist advice, please contact Regent Projects and we will be happy to advise.
