When a commercial EPC is needed
A commercial EPC is generally required when a non-domestic building is built, sold or let. It rates the building from A to G, is valid for 10 years and lists recommendations. Non-domestic buildings let in England and Wales are also subject to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), so landlords need to understand the rating before granting or renewing a lease.
What we need from you
- Address and postcode, use class and approximate floor area

Commercial landlords and MEES
If a commercial EPC shows a rating below the legal minimum, the landlord may need to improve the building or register a valid exemption before letting. Our MEES support and EPC and MEES guide explain the process. Offices, retail units and mixed-use buildings often need EPCs alongside fire risk assessments, EICRs and legionella risk assessments, which we can coordinate together.
Arrange a commercial EPC
Send the property address, use and floor area. For several buildings, use the portfolio route.
